Featured Reviews

Davina Becker - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Content Strategist at PeerSpot
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.
Abhimanyu Das - PeerSpot reviewer

Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.
From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support services are good."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
"I have found many of the features to be useful."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
 

Cons

"We experience a lot of false positives."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"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 product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
"The reports need more development. They need more details on the reports and more details taking the executive view into consideration."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."
"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."
"The solution can be expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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."
