Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It secures different entry points into the network."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"I like the solution's ability to detect potentially unwanted programs. For some reason, it seems superior to other solutions, or at least in comparison to McAfee."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
 

Cons

"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"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 rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"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 cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"It is expensive."
