    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.

    This website is well suited for organisations that perform regular security assessments. In particular, external scans and reconnaissance. As an example, I am able to run a report on our Wordpress website to enable me to see whether we are missing any important security updates. We found it to be very useful for training new security analysts, due to the straightforward GUI. You can work on the same projects together to help you to do this. Having it laid out in front of them helps them to understand the concepts much easier than using dozens of different tools to achieve the same goals, and also speeds up training. If you're a personal user it may not be appropriate due to price. If you are a personal user, I would advise using the many open source tools there are that do the same things. The strength of this platform is that it combines them into a single pane of glass, but you can achieve the same things with other tools if necessary. For example, there are many other tools that you could use to run a UDP port scan that do not cost money (EG NMAP)

    Pros
    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
    Malwarebytes
    • poor customer service
    • dashboard says product is working EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT!
    • slow response to concerns that should be easy to remedy
    • creates baggage which caused certain computers and the network to run more slowly
    • caused 3 computers on our network top have windows errors and network issues

    • No logging for things like scanning. This means you don't actually know when the scan has failed if you're not immediately on the ball.
    • Reports could look better. It would be good to be able to customise the report with some different styles to suit your company's branding.
    • Could have better tutorials.
    • It may be useful to have a feature similar to Microsoft Secure Score, which compares your organisation to similar ones, so that you have a reference of how secure your environment actually is.

    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

    Usability
    Malwarebytes
    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

    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.

    Offers a great number of tools in one interface, giving you a single pane of glass to work from. Therefore, it's favourable compared to some of these other products, that do similar things but are less intuitive and less easy to use. This makes it not only easier to use, but easier to report results to your customers. Also, although the price point can seem high, once you start adding multiple paid tools that do the same job, there probably isn't a massive amount of difference (if any)

    Return on Investment
    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.
