Ahmed El Kayal - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly interface simplifies management while performance issues during scanning need addressing
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface. It stands out as an antivirus and malware protection solution due to its extensive feeds and resources for antivirus signatures. These capabilities enable effective malware protection. Additionally, it offers scalability as any endpoint added to Active Directory can be easily integrated by Kaspersky Security Center. Its straightforward deployment and ease of management are other valuable features. It does not require an advanced engineer to manage, and resources are readily available online, making it accessible and scalable.
Anas Anas - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution."
"Ability to specify the level of protection on devices,"
"The most valuable features of the solution are the daily updates and protection from virus attacks."
"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end-users so we decided that we needed endpoint security. We evaluated some solutions and found that Kaspersky is the most appropriate in terms of endpoint security and the speed of the user machine. The encryption is a major factor from our end."
"First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me."
"It's flexible, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security's performance is good. Also, the pricing is fine."
"I am impressed with the tool's main dashboard, anti-malware application blocking, DDoS, etc."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"I like the solution's ability to detect potentially unwanted programs. For some reason, it seems superior to other solutions, or at least in comparison to McAfee."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
 

Cons

"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The training provided by the vendor to resellers and end users needs to be improved"
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
"The product is expensive."
"Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure."
"Some threats were able to bypass the solution's detection."
"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."
"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."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"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."
"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

"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
"We purchase the product's yearly license. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"The product is available at a low price."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"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 believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"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."
"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."
