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…

Protects against zero-day threats and provides a quick overview of the status of all desktops
The platform's real-time protection works by blocking or quarantining threats when a user clicks on a link or opens an email deemed suspicious. I recommend it for those focused on zero-day threats. However, if you're looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, you may need more than one product. Overall, I rate it a nine 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

"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"We focus on zero-day threats, and Malwarebytes helps minimize the risk."
 

Cons

"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"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 should improve its mobile compatibility."
"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."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"The product's reporting functionality could be improved. Additionally, there could be enough documentation available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"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."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"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."
"The product pricing is fair. They may negotiate if you contact them directly; otherwise, you'll pay the standard premium."

Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience.

What is your primary use case for Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection?
I primarily use the product to filter user actions. When a user opens a link, it catches patterns based on malware rather than protection codes. It analyzes these patterns and blocks the user from ...
