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 initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"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."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
 

Cons

"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"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 reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"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."
"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."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"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."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"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."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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."
"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 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."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
