Malwarebytes Reviews

The primary use case of the solution is something I'm using myself, on my own computer. It sits in the background, works very well and does what you expect it to do. I'm using the free version at the moment but I'm considering getting the premium version because it's a pretty good product. My working environment is Windows, but my own personal preference is Mac, a Mac OS which I own. I have the solution on 24/7. 

The most valuable feature is the scan feature. Being able to carry out a full scan on your system is a great feature, it gives you a certain level of confidence that everything's okay. 

If the company was going to do something, it would be great if they could open up the free version to an app blocker that would block malicious applications. I don't think they would do that because they need to make money but it's what I would suggest they do. There's no indication on the system as to when the software is doing a scan.

Additional features they could include would be notifications. The solution doesn't let you know that it's scanning the system, it's all done in the background and it might be helpful if a little icon popped up and said, I'm just running a scan for you.

I've been using Malwarebytes for two years. 

The stability has been great. I've had it for about 18 months and nothing has gone wrong yet.  

In terms of scalability, whether it would be something that I would extend to an entire office full of Macs, or a whole company that was running Macs, I'm not sure. I would imagine on the basis that it doesn't have a particularly big memory or CPU footprint, that it would be ideal for scalability. You would only install it on one machine at a time, not on a server. It would be on the user's system. 

I did the setup myself, it was very simple. I think it took maybe five minutes. 

I didn't specifically evaluate other options but I did go through a decision analysis process to figure out the best option for me. I listed what I wanted from the software and then rated all the alternatives against my requirements. It was a checklist and the solutions that didn't pass got kicked out. That's how I ended up with Malwarebytes. It was about functionality. 

The product is a client on my system at the moment. I think it gets a lot of its information, its virus signatures, things like that, from a cloud service. I can see that it takes a second to download new virus signatures and things. It's obviously getting its information from their website, so the real intelligence is based remotely.

I would very highly recommend this product and would rate it an eight out of 10. 

We use it for instant response.

It prevents us from having to re-image computers if they are found to be harboring malware. We have also seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats, by a few hours. Finally, it has helped with staff productivity by about five percent.

It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software.

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.

It seems to be stable.

In my opinion, it's not very scalable, at least the way we use it at this point in time.

I have not contacted technical support.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was just an MSI installable. Double-click it and then it installs.

Trial it and see if it works in your enterprise and, if so, then acquire it.

Having said that, I don't think it has had much impact on our security maturity.

I would rate Malwarebytes at seven out of ten because it is effective but not always easy to deploy.

We primarily use this solution for malware detection.

We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events.

You can manage this solution remotely from the cloud.

If everything were on the cloud then it would be nice. The company and the enterprise are in the cloud now, so we can manage security through there, and then try to put another layer of security in place.

The product update capability needs to be improved.

This is a scalable solution.

The initial setup of this solution is complex because we had to understand the product before we can complete the process.

A reseller assisted us with the deployment.

We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users.

Before choosing this solution we considered solutions from Microsoft.

It detects malware in such a way for important people to understand the threat.

It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows.

• The power of the engine
• The technical rate
• The detection rate is great.
• Staff can use it at different levels within the company.

I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward.

Contacting other teams for sending information to partner organizations could be improved.

The stability is very good.

Right now, the scalability is limited.

The technical support was excellent.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The deployment was done in-house.

We have seen ROI.

The solution has helped to increase staff productivity by ten percent.

We had the biggest vendors on our shortlist. We chose this vendor because of the support and it clean user interface.

Try it. You will love it because it does what it advertises.

We use this solution for Endpoint Security on sixty-seven workstations.

This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality.

The addition of anti-ransomware was buggy when first deployed but now works well.

The anti-exploit is very good at intercepting Office application exploits.

This solution reports far too many false positives!
