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…

Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection

There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it. Other customers have mentioned issues with false positives. It lacks enterprise-level management and more enterprise functionality. CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are much more enterprise-grade solutions. Malwarebytes has limited integration with cybersecurity tools and lacks enterprise integrations because it is not an enterprise product.

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."

"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."

"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."

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

"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."

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

"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."

"The pricing of the product is very good."

"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."

Cons

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

"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."

"I really hate the automatic rebuilding without even asking. It's just an annoyance that they should at least ask me, like a month before they bill me."

"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."

"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."

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

"The EPP solution lacks the sophisticated artificial intelligence required for automating reports and letting you know about things in real-time. It stops a suspicious activity in real-time, but it doesn't let you know in real-time. You have to look at a report, and then you find out that something is wrong. You have to manually kick off a scan. With the Advanced EDR solutions, Malwarebytes has the ability to alert you in real-time, but they still don't do automatic remediation or quarantining of devices. That is something that you still have to do manually. So, the endpoint protection piece, which is just like their basic endpoint protection, lacks AI. For the advanced detection and response piece, there is an add-on that comes with it, but it still doesn't go far enough in terms of automatic remediation of viruses. It won't separate that virus from your network if something happens. You have to manually go there and do it."

"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."

"It is expensive."

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