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.

Provides comprehensive multi-layer server protection and simplifies hybrid infrastructure management
In the area of policy management and overall administration, Trend Micro Deep Security could improve some settings that require attention. Their UI/UX also needs improvement to make it more user-friendly. If someone is not well-versed in Trend Micro Deep Security or lacks expertise, they can't use or utilize these tools effectively. Therefore, user experience improvement is most crucial, along with enhancements in policy management and the accuracy of the IPS, IDS features for real-time protection. It is primarily focused on the firewall policy management, and if any server is blocked through any rule, a proactive dashboard or alert would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"Very user-friendly interface, easy to understand."
"It can scale well."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
 

Cons

"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"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."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"Notifications are lacking."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"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."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly, as navigation sometimes requires familiarity with the console."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"It would be better if they merge a few features into one product. For example, they have an encryption feature that is separately sold. If they could merge it with Apex One or any endpoint security solution, maybe it would also be good for the end user."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"The AWS licensing model is scalable and easy to use, but could do with tiered discounts. I am not sure how well this model will scale when we start to use Auto Scaling with AWS resources."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"It is expensive but reasonable compared to other products by Trend Micro."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
