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

"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"I like the solution's ability to detect potentially unwanted programs. For some reason, it seems superior to other solutions, or at least in comparison to McAfee."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"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."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The solution is stable."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The convenience has been great."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"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."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"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."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The license isn't expensive."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
