Chief Executive Officer at a wholesaler/distributor with 11-50 employees
Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection
Pros and Cons
- "The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
- "I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
- "There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity."
- "The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
What is our primary use case?
Malwarebytes runs on my laptop.
What is most valuable?
I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean. Exceptional malware detection and removal with a user-friendly interface. It offers lightweight performance that doesn't consume a lot of CPU.
The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors. It's updated regularly, with new data on vulnerabilities being pushed out frequently. Focus on anti-ransomware protection is really nice, and they provide good customer support.
What needs improvement?
There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it. Other customers have mentioned issues with false positives. It lacks enterprise-level management and more enterprise functionality. CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are much more enterprise-grade solutions. Malwarebytes has limited integration with cybersecurity tools and lacks enterprise integrations because it is not an enterprise product.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Malwarebytes for approximately 20 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There has been no instability experienced.
How are customer service and support?
Good customer support is provided, however, I have not contacted their technical support as it was never needed.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
For my personal laptop, I haven't switched to any alternatives as I cannot purchase one license for products like CrowdStrike or SentinelOne.
How was the initial setup?
The setup of Malwarebytes was easy and took about ten minutes to install one instance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Malwarebytes is a bit pricey for some regions, such as Ukraine, since it's priced in US dollars. I prefer to use the paid version, and I am a pay-to-play person.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I am familiar with all the solutions available, however, I use Malwarebytes for personal use due to licensing issues with other solutions.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale of one to ten, I rate Malwarebytes a ten.
