Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Effective threat predictions, simple to deploy, and light on resources
Malwarebytes's initial setup is simple. It is easy to deploy and configure the policies and the configuration. I deployed Malwarebytes for one customer and I did it in under two days. They had approximately 50 users, it took approximately an hour. The steps I took for the implementation were downloading the Malwarebytes management console from the site, installing it, then running the discovery tool, scanning my network, and checking all of the PCs on my network. It's already pre-configured, you don't need to configure anything. The only configuration that I did on the administration console was some of the exclusion from the scan. This is the only rule that I have created. I rate the initial setup of Malwarebytes a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects against viruses and dangerous software, and it's also great because it has a component that is useful for the deployment of software versions to the end user's computer."
"The main feature of this solution is it is easy to use."
"The stability has been good."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"The tool's interface is good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
 

Cons

"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
"I'd like to see them improve encryption and remote management in the future. Kaspersky could also improve its scanning technology. Other solutions have adopted machine learning and deep learning, but Kaspersky still uses signature-based scanning."
"The training provided by the vendor to resellers and end users needs to be improved"
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"The threat intelligence features are not up to date."
"he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"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."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"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."
"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 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."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"Its price is on par with other products. It might even be slightly cheaper. There are no additional costs."
"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"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."
"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."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"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."
