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.

Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very versatile and thorough."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"The technical support services are good."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The detection capability of Trellix Endpoint Security is higher than traditional antivirus solutions."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"Trellix Endpoint Security seems to do a good job in terms of protecting my infrastructure from malware."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
"The agents are easy to deploy."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
 

Cons

"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"The product pricing is high."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
