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…
Ahmed El Kayal - PeerSpot reviewer
AI-driven threat detection strengthens security and supports seamless integration
My company had an opportunity to implement Trend Micro Endpoint for one of our customers. They have around 500 PCs as endpoints and also around 100 or 120 servers The behavior analytics feature is very useful, and its threat detection based on AI is very strong. It is easy to integrate with other…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product keeps our company safe."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"The antivirus is the most valuable aspect of Trend Micro Apex One."
"The behavior analytics feature is very useful, and its threat detection based on AI is very strong."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
"It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
"Vulnerability management is a valuable feature that I enjoy."
"I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side."
"It provides comprehensive visibility into all client logs and seamlessly integrates with other products, such as CM."
"There's excellent data loss prevention to help prevent purposeful or accidental loss of data."
 

Cons

"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"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."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"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."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"Apex One's account security could be improved."
"The portal is a little bit slow in loading. The cloud portal or management control should be a little faster. There seems to be a lot of load on their servers over there. Maybe they are using one server for multiple customers. It would be great if they can increase server performance in the cloud. Its technical support and reporting can be improved. There is no proper reporting, and there is no PDF or things like that. They should include detailed reporting. An attack happened at a client's site, but we couldn't get the report on the same day. We were unable to provide a detailed report to our client. We approached the technical support, and even they didn't give proper answers. They need to improve the reporting capabilities, or the technical team should support us in providing these reports. They should include reporting in the solution. They should also insert sandbox analysis in Apex One."
"I would like to see a sandboxing feature in the next release - which is currently something being supported by a third party - in addition to EDR capability on the cloud applications."
"The solution's user experience regarding device control could be more friendly or straightforward."
"The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."
"Technical support is very very slow. There is no French support. Only English. The experts are in England, the United States, or Japan, I don't know where. So the support is really lacking."
"I'd like to see the different interface components combined into one, or be allowed to get to the agent management portion without having to log into the main console."
"I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"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."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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 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."
"We have the smallest package of Trend Micro Apex One. The full package is expensive, and it was more expensive than we thought."
"Its pricing was good. It is very competitive with all the other vendors."
"On a yearly basis, it's about $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Its pricing should be improved."
"Opting for cloud solutions can provide a more cost-effective and efficient alternative, with fewer dependencies on physical setups and unexpected costs associated with on-premises tasks."
"Pricing and licensing are competitive with other solutions on the market."
"The SaaS version is competitively priced and amazingly easy to set up."
"The licensing fee and support are bundled together."
