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.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has a good management interface."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"It is a stable solution."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"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."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
 

Cons

"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"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 stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"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."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
"The interface is complex."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
