George Tsepelis - PeerSpot reviewer
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…
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"I like the solution's ability to detect potentially unwanted programs. For some reason, it seems superior to other solutions, or at least in comparison to McAfee."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Speed"
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Auto-Remediation"
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
 

Cons

"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."
"We experience a lot of 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 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 product's stability needs improvement."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"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."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"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."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"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."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

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 haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution.
