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 does a good job of protecting us."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The technical support services are good."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
 

Cons

"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"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."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"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."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"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 license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"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."
