    Malwarebytes
    Now, I gave it that rating because it's a handy tool for diagnosing issues. Quarantining them, and most of the time, it does fix the problem. Though with rootkits, it's been hit or miss, and sometimes perfectly valid software gets flagged erroneously. However, once you've run it, it tends to run continuously, consuming far too many resources and being a real pain to uninstall, sometimes even causing issues.

    XSOAR is well suited for phishing detection and response. Phishing alerts are as much of a
    problem today as they were decades ago. This is because: ●Attackers Can leverage automation to launch high-quantity phishing attacks with the click
    of a button.
    ●Spear Phishing attacks are sophisticated and sometimes indistinguishable from real
    emails, resulting in compromise through human error.
    ●Security Teams aren’t able to follow set processes while responding to phishing alerts.
    They must coordinate across email inboxes, threat intel, NGFW, ticketing, and
    other tools. Each tool has different consoles, data conventions, and contexts,
    making it difficult for security teams to fill in the gaps while minimizing
    errors. XSOAR is less suited for analyzing traffic.

    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)

    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.

    • The XSOAR bot creates a lot of noise on the summary page of any XSOAR incident. Although the filter is available to reduce the view, by default this should not be visible cluttering the whole scenario.
    • The interface has too much data on a single pane. I would love to have many buttons to just click and do stuff.
    • Also, I would love to have search areas more interactive and easier to navigate.

    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.

    It has proven to be far to valuable and effective to consider getting rid of it. Until something better comes along, this is staying in our product stack.

    Usability
    Malwarebytes
    Usability-wise, it's pretty good, and it gets the job done. But once that's finished, the nags, the pop-ups, and the fact that it slows older systems down recklessly really cost it rating points. It becomes a clutter, and one of the first things we check when we receive reports that a PC is slow is whether it's running malware. Once we uninstall it, the PC is usually easily 40-50% faster. That's too much in the way of resources for something that wants to always run in the background.

    The Malwarebytes customer support team is awesome! They really go above and beyond to help you with whatever issue you may experience. It is not that we need to contact their support team often, but the few times we did, we would speak to someone who knew what they were talking about and able to solve our problem. It is a comfort knowing that aside from a great product, you are getting a reliable support structure.

    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.

    The quantity of integrations with security solutions is highest in Palo Alto Solution. The capacity to identify anomalous events is much better in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR. The flexibility of increased storage area is better as well. The dashboard is very intuitive about showing the most important incidents and how to resolve them.

    Return on Investment
    Malwarebytes
    • Positive Impact: Have not had to remediate malware/virus infections since installed.
    • Positive impact: As far as browsing goes, we can boldly go where no man has gone before. No, really, I am confident when I am clicking on search engine results that if something get past my trained eye, Malwarebytes will pick of the slack.
