Our company deals with EPP EDR, MDR, patch management, DNS filtering, and vulnerability assessment of Malwarebytes. They have two products, one for businesses and one for home use. If you use the one with EPP, it is meant for businesses.
Malwarebytes is a good product for SMBs since it provides malware and ransomware protection, allowing SMBs to secure their endpoints.
The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal.
The improvements needed in the product depend on the company and its plans, but I think that the product is mostly okay. Malwarebytes has to keep updating as per the market trend in regards to what and where the malware is, which is not a major challenge for other products. If Malwarebytes matches the same intensity as its competitors, it can do good in the market. Malwarebytes needs to keep up with the market updates and release products that align with what its competitors are doing in the market.
I have been using Malwarebytes for more than five years. My company has a partnership with Malwarebytes.
It is a stable solution. I have not experienced any downtimes. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
It is a scalable solution. We can scale up the use of the solution.
My clients are usually SMBs.
The solution's technical support is clear as per the SLA. The support is provided to us immediately whenever needed. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
The initial setup of Malwarebytes was easy.
The solution is deployed on the cloud. My customers have the tool deployed on their own cloud.
The time for deployment depends on the number of users, which can be a hundred, two hundred, or five hundred users. Depending on your approach, if you have Active Directory and domain controller, you can deploy it centrally from the console itself with the tools that can help you deploy faster. You can also deploy the tool one by one, a process in which you can install the agent and simply install the agent and the machines, after which it will be rest registered on the cloud immediately.
If you look at the pricing of some other products, the pricing of Malwarebytes is pretty much okay since it is neither cheap nor too high, making it fall in the middle.
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 provides features like device control, scan engine, malware protection, ransomware protection, rollback features, and managed detection and response. The tool also provides features like integrated patch management, vulnerability assessment, and DNS filtering. If any of my customers prefer Malwarebytes, they can have the complete package.
I recommend the product if it fits the budget of those planning to use it. It's a good product. They can have clear visibility on the endpoints since it helps them protect from ransomware and other advanced threats. Malwarebytes is an affordable tool. One can use it, especially if someone doesn't have a high budget, since it helps fulfill the basic requirements.
Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC. They have their own labs to test their products. In general, they don't have any third-party reports as of now. Malwarebytes was previously included in one of the reports from Gartner. I think Malwarebytes doesn't participate in the reports from Gartner. 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. If Malwarebytes was included in reports from Gartner, I would have rated the tool an eight or nine out of ten.
Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
