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

"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"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."
"Support in Trend Micro Deep Security is very good. They have very professional engineers, and they often respond effectively. We are satisfied."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools."
"It has improved functions by bringing us complete security on our clients' virtual environment."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"It's scalable."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"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 should improve its mobile compatibility."
"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."
"I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"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."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
"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."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"It is expensive but reasonable compared to other products by Trend Micro."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."

Questions from the Community

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?
I really hate the automatic rebilling without officially confirming it with me. It's an annoyance and they should at least confirm with me, like a month before they bill me.
