Along with a good interface, the tool offers great technical support team
The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch. If Jamf Protect offers support immediately and ensures to offer zero-day support, then it can be an achievement. In the future release of the product, I would want the tool to have a little bit of account-related capabilities. If a firewall gets enabled in an account, the information from such enablement would eventually solve the purpose of the administrators in terms of how they can use the solution to manage the accounts.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Beginners need initial training."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"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."
"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 could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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 price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"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."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
