David Young, M.A. President Chose Malwarebytes Use it and forget it...no constant advertisements. Incentivized Helpful? VK vinoth kumar Sr system administrator Chose Malwarebytes McAfee usually takes a long time to scan each system as we usually have scheduled systems scan every weekend. But if we want to scan a particular system in minimal time we usually go with Malwarebytes to get the job done. Incentivized Helpful? RJ Roxanne Jacobs Executive Director Chose Malwarebytes We have used Malwarebytes for many years. Originally, we used the free version but converted to the paid version. Now, we have five licenses, one for each of the staff members who are working remotely. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Malwarebytes Proven to be one of the best in detecting malware that is otherwise undetected by other solutions.

Verified User Employee Chose Malwarebytes Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection is better than Webroot's Business Endpoint Protection in quite a few ways from the admin console to how effective the software works. Malwarebytes has a better admin GUI console in every way. Malwarebytes has detected malware that Webroot has not. Incentivized Helpful? Philip Dixon Director Of Information Technology Chose Malwarebytes I found Sophos to be more resource intensive, scans take longer and affect the end user experience more. Building policies and customizations is not as intuitive with Sophos. Incentivized Helpful? Mauro Biefeni Head of Information Technology Chose Malwarebytes Malwarebytes beat the pricing we received from competing products like ESET and Bitdefender. Also, from looking at multiple reviews and ratings, Malwarebytes simply does a better job of protecting systems. It is easy to manage and maintain (sometimes information can be too … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Malwarebytes Malwarebytes is much better at detecting and mitigating non-traditional or virus-like attack vectors than any of the frontline anti-virus programs that we evaluated. As such, we chose to use Malwarebytes in tandem with a frontline anti-virus solution, providing us with two … Incentivized Helpful? Mark Piskura FAA Repair Station Training Coordinator Chose Malwarebytes I have found Avast and TRENDmicro are experts in their own right but I have always found success at a low cost using Malwarebytes. Incentivized Helpful? Jennifer Stirling Executive Assistant to Lindsey Stirling Chose Malwarebytes I haven't used Norton, MacKeeper, nor any other anti-viral software for many years. I believe Malwarebytes is the most effective malware software available in its price range and have been extremely satisfied with it. Since using it I have had no issues nor incidents with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Malwarebytes Malwarebytes seems to lead the industry in customer focus. Their support team is superior. The breadth of services they offer is a major factor along with their roadmap for the future. I believe the update process is one of the easiest I've experienced with major software … Incentivized Helpful? Marc Shaffer CEO Chose Malwarebytes To be blunt, MB leaves them in the dust from an operative and functional perspective. We use them because we get great support for all functions and find they do an excellent job at what they are designed to do. Competitive costs and no extraneous fees. Software that tries to … Incentivized Helpful? BB Barry Burd Professor Chose Malwarebytes It's difficult to make a fair comparison because I use Bitdefender on a Mac rather than a PC. Bitdefender finds many suspicious emails that it can't remove or quarantine, so I have to remove them manually. Malwarebytes doesn't do that. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Supervisor Chose Malwarebytes Have also used the following malware/spyware protection/removal tools: SuperAntiSpyware Spybot Search & Destroy Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Malwarebytes Initially organization was startup so we preferred Malwarebytes. Incentivized Helpful?

I can't say I would use the product on its own as it was built for a very specific role … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Malwarebytes We've looked at other products but the ease of use, reviews and tests, and at this point, our own experience has led to us remaining with Malwarebytes instead of others.

Jeff Henkel Owner Chose Malwarebytes It's been a while since I made my decision to purchase Malwarebytes over the other products listed. I believe at the time Malwarebytes was the best product on my short list. I tried both AVG and Avast before deciding on Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was also recommended to me by … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Malwarebytes Simply put, Malwarebytes has been around for a long time and has yet to fail me. The consistency in which it operates on our devices and updates on its own without breaking itself means that I do not have to second guess if we are going to be protected properly or not. It … Incentivized Helpful? dishant sharma Content writer and programmer Chose Malwarebytes It is also a very good option to consider as an antivirus system. But, it is not effective against the rootkits; that's why I selected Malwarebytes over it. Malware bytes has a more powerful and effective scanning mechanism than Norton.

User Testimonials
	Malwarebytes
Likelihood to Recommend	Malwarebytes Malwarebytes is definitely one of the top contenders in its field. As with any corporate software, there are headaches all along the way -- from implementation to daily use and support. And cost is also a factor. Although not inexpensive, Malwarebytes is comparable to its close competitors. Overall, the quality of the product shines through, and it does what it's intended to do...protect! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Malwarebytes Low system resources, it does not slow down the whole computer when scanning or when real-time protection is enabled Quick and frequent updates, usually people hate updating, but for malware/viruses, you want to be updated as possible. It takes less than 15 seconds and usually does it automatically. They usually send a few updates a day as they find more. Protection features actually work when visiting known bad websites. The page will be blocked and nothing will be downloaded. It may not be what the user wants, but it's what the user needs (as the user can't know every bad website) Incentivized Kenji C System Administrator/IT Read full review
Cons	Malwarebytes One of the main things that malwarebytes is missing as a company, is phone support for its clients. All support questions has to go thru email only. This is not acceptable for issues that needs to be resolved quickly. There is an issue when installing the client on a machine, it has a set amount of time where the software can register with the management server. The issue with this is, with machines that are over a wide area network, slow connection speeds can cause the software not to register. When that happens, it never re attempts to register in the future. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Malwarebytes The last time we renewed Malwarebytes, we renewed for a 3 year renewal. That should describe the confidence we have in the product. Plus the cost savings impact year after year. Incentivized Joe Spradlin IT Manager Read full review
Usability	Malwarebytes When you have a product that does the job that it describes or advertises, you have to love it. While the malware posture is always changing, we depend on products that we pay for year after year to protect us from threats, both known and unknown. I give this rating because Malwarebytes just works and you don't have to worry whether it is going to beat up other programs on your systems. Incentivized Joe Spradlin IT Manager Read full review
Support Rating	Malwarebytes I honestly haven't needed support for Malwarebytes because I haven't had any problems with it, whatsoever. I am giving it a 9 rating because I haven't actually had an encounter or experience with customer service or support, so it's hard to rate the actual support team since I've never had the privilege of coming into contact with them. Incentivized Jennifer Stirling Executive Assistant to Lindsey Stirling Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Malwarebytes Avast and Norton's products were part of the testing for us but the cost was very high for them and the products were not light on the machine. They took up a lot of memory and slowed the computers down. Malwarebytes although may lack some feature, is a very light software. Incentivized Pritesh Patel Product Manager Read full review
