A highly stable and easy-to-deploy product that keeps organizations safe
The product keeps our company safe Recently, a user tried to open an unsafe link, and Malwarebytes stopped them. They kept trying and trying, but they could not open it. Later, it turned out to be a fake Microsoft account. So far, we have faced no issues with the product. It is doing what it…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"We use the solution for endpoint protection, malware detection, and detecting unsafe web access."
"The multi-tenancy feature is beneficial for managing different customers, allowing for efficient handling across various tenants."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility."
"The solution's ability to operate without placing a heavy burden on our system resources is particularly commendable."
"The load balancer feature is excellent."
"Trend Micro effectively detects and blocks NAS devices and identifies potential threats."
"The most important feature is behaviour detection."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility. It is very good at detection and response, and it includes a web filtering option."
 

Cons

"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"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 could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"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."
"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."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"The solution’s scalability is limited."
"Network vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"Trend Micro should improve its Worry-Free Services Suites, particularly the agent for Windows operating systems."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Sevices Suits' pricing remains a concern for our non-profit organization. Despite receiving some discounts, we find the pricing on the higher side."
"The log management feature needs to be improved, specifically, the ability to send logs from the console via API."
"The licensing aspect seems costly, and the license cost increases yearly, which is a concern for us."
"The EDR part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing of Trend Micro is a little bit higher compared to Sophos."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"It is expensive."
"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 believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The product is available at a very good price point."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, which is too expensive."

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?
