Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.
George Tsepelis - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable and easy-to-deploy product that keeps organizations safe
The product keeps our company safe Recently, a user tried to open an unsafe link, and Malwarebytes stopped them. They kept trying and trying, but they could not open it. Later, it turned out to be a fake Microsoft account. So far, we have faced no issues with the product. It is doing what it…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."
"It is a stable solution."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"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."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"Notifications are lacking."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"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 believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"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."

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.
What needs improvement with Malwarebytes?
It takes up too much space when it's trying to run in the background.
