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.

Our main antivirus tool and offers adaptive threat prevention tool
The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious and time consuming task. After raising the call onto the technical support portal, usually receive a notification after 24 hours. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to conclude and resolve the issue. If 24/7 online support or a phone line where we could speak directly with technical support for real-time troubleshooting, that would be very helpful. Licensing is another aspect where trellix should look into. Different purchases are grouped together in single user account get mixed up. Categorization of purchases and their grant numbers is not available to end user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product keeps our company safe."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"It is a stable solution."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The technical support services are good."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"The stability has been great."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
"What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."
"Trellix Endpoint Security seems to do a good job in terms of protecting my infrastructure from malware."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
"We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
 

Cons

"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"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."
"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."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"They could provide better integration capabilities for the product with other services."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"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."
"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."
"The Linux support is very poor. I use base detection. Currently, they are providing malware protection and logon track features in Windows and Mac. These features aren't available in Linux. It will be helpful to extend these capabilities to Linux. We would also like assets grouping and device lock protection features, which are included in their roadmap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"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 expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
