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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"It is a stable solution."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"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 pricing of the product is very good."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"Its reporting and dashboard are valuable. Its dashboard is easy to use."
"When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
"The solution can scale."
"I like Apex One's DLP capabilities. You can scan and control data leakage on the user system level. Our previous solution would look at things from the user desktop level, and you had to have an agent deployed to collect that. The solution offers different levels of protection that you can invest in."
"The most valuable aspect is achieving zero attacks and zero data compromise."
"The solution offers great visibility into their IT infrastructure and uses industry-leading threat intelligence strategies."
"The nano protection and device control are great."
 

Cons

"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 experience a lot of false positives."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"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 interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"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."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved."
"I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
"Trend Micro Apex One can improve its vulnerability assessment and monitoring tools."
"I would like to see the initial setup simplified to make it less complicated, and the price reduced."
"Apex One uses a lot of RAM and other physical resources, and I also don't like the web interface."
"For primary use cases, we required DLP solutions with application control and web control, which is not provided by Trend Vision One Endpoint Security."
 

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."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"If I remember correctly, the cost is approximately four and a half thousand per year."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, Apex One is an eight."
"If I compare Trend Micro Apex One with other solutions there are a few challenges for customers who have do not need more licenses. Sometimes the customers struggle because this product is totally an enterprise solution, and the price for the licenses can be expensive for individuals or small organizations."
"There are licenses for Apex One's individual security features, so it depends on what the customer needs. But in general, Trend Micro is cheap, and many customers require it."
"It is a little bit more expensive than other solutions."
"We are using an annual license for this solution."
"It's an annual subscription."
"It is cost-efficient."
