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

"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."
"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."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"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 solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"The product is easy to use."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"The solution is easy to manage, easy to implement, easy to install, and the support is excellent."
 

Cons

"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"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."
"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."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"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."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"It is a bit technical. The user interface has some significant limitations, mainly when using HIPS on the server side, to protect files from being changed or deleted by hackers, users, or administrators."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"We would like to solution to offer better security."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its licensing is annual. 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."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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 rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
