Cons

"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"Network vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"The EDR part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's documentation is not good, and I'm struggling to change global configurations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"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."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"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."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The product is available at a very good price point."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, which is too expensive."

Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Malwarebytes?
I really hate the automatic rebilling without officially confirming it with me. It's an annoyance and they should at least confirm with me, like a month before they bill me.
