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.

Has a good dashboard and is stable, scalable, and easy to implement
The dashboard is good During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved. I've been using this solution for four or five years. It is a stable solution. Norton Security Premium is scalable, and we are expanding our license. The architects and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has a good management interface."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"It is a stable solution."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"The technical support services are good."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The dashboard is good."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
 

Cons

"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"I really hate the automatic rebuilding without even asking. It's just an annoyance that they should at least ask me, like a month before they bill me."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"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."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"The product could always be more secure."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"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."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"It is expensive."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"I don't pay for a license."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"As I have been a long-time customer, I was given a fair price of $49.95 per month for the first four to six months."
