Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection

Pros

"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."

Cons

"There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. "

Intuitive, easy to use, and does a good job of catching and stopping things for the most part and has a unique rollback feature

Pros

"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."

Cons

"The EPP solution lacks the sophisticated artificial intelligence required for automating reports and letting you know about things in real-time. It stops a suspicious activity in real-time, but it doesn't let you know in real-time. You have to look at a report, and then you find out that something is wrong. You have to manually kick off a scan. With the Advanced EDR solutions, Malwarebytes has the ability to alert you in real-time, but they still don't do automatic remediation or quarantining of devices. That is something that you still have to do manually. So, the endpoint protection piece, which is just like their basic endpoint protection, lacks AI. For the advanced detection and response piece, there is an add-on that comes with it, but it still doesn't go far enough in terms of automatic remediation of viruses. It won't separate that virus from your network if something happens. You have to manually go there and do it."

Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."

Cons

"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."

Product version discussed: Latest version
Effective threat predictions, simple to deploy, and light on resources

Pros

"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided. "

Cons

"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."

I can access it from anywhere and remediate quickly from the cloud console, but there should be a little more detail around detections and events and better pricing

Pros

"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."

Cons

"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."

Resource utilization is low compared to others, especially in terms of CPU and memory and efficiently eradicates threats

Pros

Has the ability to automatically update and run scans

Pros

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

Cons

"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."
