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.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing risk and response times while being cost-effective and saving on operational efficiency, compliance, audit readiness, scalability, and business agility, supporting both on-premise and container workloads."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers."
"It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"It's not good in search hunting."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"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."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"While it is fundamentally good, the patches are released every month; if it could remain stable for a longer time, it would be helpful instead of requiring monthly patches."
"We are not able to manually delete any hash from the console. We have to go to the SQL database, and from there, we have to do that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."

What do you like most about Malwarebytes?
Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Malwarebytes?
