Davina Becker - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.
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 installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"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."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"Speed"
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
 

Cons

"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"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."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"It is expensive."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about Malwarebytes?
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.
What needs improvement with Malwarebytes?
It takes up too much space when it's trying to run in the background.
What do you like most about Webroot Business Endpoint Protection?
I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Webroot Business Endpoint Protection?
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is probably on the cheaper side, so I would rate their pricing a one or a two out of ten.
What needs improvement with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection?
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats. It does not do what it's advertised to do. Real-time threat detection also doesn't work as it should.
