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 deployment of updates is easy."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"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."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"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 stability could be improved."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The user interface is outdated."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"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."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"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."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"​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."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"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.​"
"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."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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."
"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."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
