Easy to setup and stable solution

It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us. There is room for improvement in pricing. In future releases, I would like to see improvements in EDR protection. So, the only thing that I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for…

Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency

I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.

Cons

"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."

"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."

"The product update capability needs to be improved."

"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."

"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."

"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."

"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."

"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."

"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We can easily scale and improve security, but the cost is high for us."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."

"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"It is expensive."

"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."

"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."

"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."

"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."

Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience.

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Malwarebytes?

I really hate the automatic rebilling without officially confirming it with me. It's an annoyance and they should at least confirm with me, like a month before they bill me.

What needs improvement with Malwarebytes?

It takes up too much space when it's trying to run in the background.
