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

"The solution is stable."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
 

Cons

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"It is hard to manage."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"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."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"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.​"
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
