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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"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 installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
 

Cons

"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."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"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."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about Malwarebytes?
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.
What do you like most about Webroot Business Endpoint Protection?
I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Webroot Business Endpoint Protection?
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is probably on the cheaper side, so I would rate their pricing a one or a two out of ten.
What needs improvement with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection?
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats. It does not do what it's advertised to do. Real-time threat detection also doesn't work as it should.
