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 endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
 

Cons

"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"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."
"There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"Signatures to protect against new attacks."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"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."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"Pricing is fair."
"The price of this product is good."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
