User Testimonials

Cofense
The tool is very helpful in improving Phishing detection capabilities as it streamlines the process of analyzing user reports a lot. Besides it has a built-in mechanism of rating reporters(end-users) based on their historical performance. Downside - tool requires continuous resource investment to deliver best result. Tool is not helping too much in improving user-education, because automated response process is not immediate and is prone to errors

I think Malwarebytes is the best anti-malware company. I think it is well-suited for any situation and any device. I think Malwarebytes does the best on Windows and on MacOS. Also, Malwarebytes is always improving, and you can tell they are a company that stays on top of cybersecurity trends. If you have a tight budget or looking for the cheapest solution, then Malwarebytes may not be the solution for you. To clarify, I don't think Malwarebytes is that much more expensive compared to its closest competitors.

Pros
Cofense
  • Separating links and attachments contained in the email, and checking to see if they are known malicious.
  • Clustering like emails to save time when responding.
  • Providing risks scores with each cluster to give an estimate on which clusters should be addressed first.

Malwarebytes
  • Protects against malware - No matter how much training you give end users on social hacking, there is always a breach at some point.
  • Protects against ransomware - Ransomware could spell disaster for a company...it could literally shut the doors for good.
  • Centralized administration - Without a terrific centralized method to manage all the systems being protected, it would require an extra position just to maintain all endpoints.

Cons
Cofense
  • There are too many interdependent pieces which you have to acquire separately.
  • I think Cofense has a lot of capabilities and usefulness, but I think it's too a la carte.
  • We own Cofense and PhishMe currently and there are some gaping holes that require additional licensing to close.

When I first used the tool in my home systems MANY years ago, I wished for a Business version. I was once at a focus group for a major antivirus company, and one attendee’s feedback to “what could we do better?” was “buy out MalwareBytes and add it to your tool”. I’ve used the Business version since it first became available, and have continued to be a dedicated user through the many iterations and improvements

It simply works. It doesn't require the hand-holding and monitoring that some other solutions do. It's simple to deploy and maintain, and adding custom content such as Exceptions require minimal effort. I’ve had to add a few exceptions for internal-use, in-house-developed tools, but it’s quite simple to do so within the online interface

As I mentioned, we have only email support. Their phone support was very expensive. If we ever have any issues, we have to email them and wait for their response. In most cases, I have figured out the issue on my own. The software is very stable so we haven't used their support much.

I first implemented this more than 10 years ago, when it required an in-site setup with SQL Server (or SQL Express), and even that was pretty easy. With the move to centralized web management some treats ago, it’s become even easier to deploy

Alternatives Considered
Cofense
The other product had a lot of fails on the auto-processing and did not integrate well with our current environment. One issue had to do with the way it sends the submissions to its processing engine—our email gateway configuration would have blocked this traffic. I also did not like the user interface.

It's no contest. Cisco AMP, Umbrella and Endpoint use vast amounts of resources and provide little protection when compared with Malwarebytes. One client recently replaced Cisco with MWB and found over 7,300 vulnerabilities on 352 endpoints, including 120 listed as Critical and 7,180 listed as High, with CVE's dating back to 2008.

Return on Investment
Cofense
  • Due to the integration potential, large amounts of time are saved on a daily basis.
  • Incident response time has dropped due to the increased information available by having access to phishing emails directly.
  • Staff are able to effectively learn how multiple tools in our environment are used by mastering Triage. This has decreased training time greatly and increased the effectiveness of each associate.

Malwarebytes
  • The ease of remediation has saved our IT team a number of hours manually installing, for example, the free version of Malwarebytes to remove infections, and then cleaning the machine up. Being able to centrally send commands to clean the device is much more efficient.
  • The centralised management has also alerted us to infections on machines that we might not otherwise have known about, as the existing AV had not detected them, saving us potential data loss, or system damage.
