Easy to setup and stable solution

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."

"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."

"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."

"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."

"It is a stable solution."

"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."

"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."

"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."

Cons

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

"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."

"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."

"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."

"This solution reports far too many false positives!"

"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."

"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."

"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."

"Notifications are lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."

"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."

"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."

"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."

"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."

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.
