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.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"Technical support is always available and very helpful."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"A big advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is the ability to manage very big environments. We are supporting environments with 200,000 to 300,000 endpoints. The ability to manage with one single console is very important for us. McAfee has phenomenally improved in terms of detection. It provides real-time detection and response with the error, Real Protect, and reputations. It is not only based on signatures but also on behavior analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. We have environments that never had issues with ransomware in the last 20 years. McAfee has a very good performance in this field."
 

Cons

"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"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."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"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."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"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."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"The local technical support could be better."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
"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 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."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"It is expensive."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"No comment."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
