Have maintained strong endpoint protection through behavioral analysis and daily monitoring
I previously mentioned that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have built-in DLP, which was a concern. I think they could add it in the future; however, antivirus cannot provide a proper DLP solution, but they can offer a mix of DLP, similar to Trend Micro Apex One, which provides some sort of DLP file management. Nonetheless, we need a proper DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec, whichever suits us. We'll be conducting performance evaluation in the next quarter while working on other projects. More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. In Sophos, we receive a daily system-generated report about what is happening, plus an alert system. The reporting system in Trend Micro is also excellent; I receive an email every day at 10:00 AM with a report for the last 24 hours.

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 blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"The most valuable features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are protection and encryption. Additionally, the interface is good and it can be integrated with Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"I have found the most useful features to be protected against viruses, mail threats, encryption of the devices, and MDM. There are a lot of features."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
 

Cons

"We would like to know where attacks are coming from."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"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 interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"Notifications are lacking."
"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 solution's pricing is acceptable."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
"I prefer paying for a yearly license because it has some discounts. One of the companies I work for pays for the Business Select license, for 100 users."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"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."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
