Easy to setup and stable solution

Effective threat predictions, simple to deploy, and light on resources

Malwarebytes's initial setup is simple. It is easy to deploy and configure the policies and the configuration. I deployed Malwarebytes for one customer and I did it in under two days. They had approximately 50 users, it took approximately an hour. The steps I took for the implementation were downloading the Malwarebytes management console from the site, installing it, then running the discovery tool, scanning my network, and checking all of the PCs on my network. It's already pre-configured, you don't need to configure anything. The only configuration that I did on the administration console was some of the exclusion from the scan. This is the only rule that I have created. I rate the initial setup of Malwarebytes a ten out of ten.

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 is a stable solution."

"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."

"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."

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

"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."

"The solution has a good management interface."

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

Cons

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

"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."

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

"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."

"This solution reports far too many false positives!"

"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."

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

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