Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We switched to Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection after using several other antivirus systems, including McAfee, ESET, and Trend Micro. It's being used across the entire organization. We rely on it to keep our machines safe from malware, spyware, and ransomware attacks. So far, it's been pretty reliable and has a very light footprint, so it doesn't use up many resources. We've been using it for two years so far, and no complaints.
- Light footprint
- Affordable
- Can be used in conjunction with Windows Defender or other third-party antivirus solutions
- End user functionality is limited--can only launch scans. Would be nice to offer more features for the end user.
- Some updates must be done or at least approved manually, instead of automatic updating.
- It catches some false positives, so they need to tone down the aggressiveness somewhat.

Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection Delivers Safety in the Dangerous World of Data Technology
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection is being used to protect all desktop and laptop PCs in our organization, as well as multiple physical and virtual Windows servers.
Malwarebytes addresses the issues of malware and ransomware by doing an excellent job of protecting all systems within our network as well as users' portable laptops. In a world where ransomware is becoming a daily issue for mid to large-sized companies, this is an insurance policy that every company needs to have.

- 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.
- The main con for me is trying to find a con to complain about. I simply cannot think of anything negative I have to say about MalwareBytes in the experience I have had with them to date.
BC Systems is using Malwarebytes Endpoint as our primary platform to protect our network against virus, trojan's, and any other invasive threat in real time. We implemented this software two years ago and have not had any intrusions since. The Malwarebytes GUI offers a report which shows all of the access attempts that were blocked by the software. You can customize the report to an individual user or your entire network. You can see the benefit of your purchase every time you inspect the report.
- The GUI is intuitive and easy to navigate.
- It is easy to install and see your protection immediately.
- The price is comparable to competitors.
- I have not found any since using this software.

Effective add-on for a Defense-in-Depth Strategy
Initially we had a lot of malware slipping through the cracks of our initial antivirus solution. After trialing Malwarebytes, we were satisfied with the results and proceeded to make the purchase. We found that Malwarebytes detects and eradicates threats that are missed by traditional antivirus solution.
- Simple Licensing scheme
- Ease of setup
- Ease of management
- Reporting
- Threat remediation

Carefree Malware Protection
While we use Webroot Enpoint Protection on our MSP clients, we augment that protection with Malwarebytes. If Webroot allows any malware through, Malwarebytes catches most everything else. We routinely run sweeps/scans with Malwarebytes as our final authority on the cleanliness of our machines.
- Scan can be customized on many levels.
- Convient scheduling interface.
- GUI is very intuitive an easy to use.
- Updates from one version to another can be challenging. Regular updates are a must.
- We have not had any issues, but Malwarebytes has gotten some poor reviews on their support in industry publications.

The best tool to protect against Ransomware, Malware and Spyware
We have been using Malwarebytes for 4 years across our whole organization. Nowadays, ransomware, spyware, and malware are a big threat. Being in an engineering consulting business, our users are bombarded with so many emails every day, sometimes with phishing links. It became so important for us to protect ourselves from these types of attacks, so we decided to buy Malwarebytes. Since then, it is doing an excellent job.
- The biggest plus with this software is that you can manage all the clients from a management console. You can push the install/updates through it. If the client cannot connect to the management console, then it will update directly from their website. This means you are always up to date and protected.
- The software on the client machine has very low overhead so it doesn't affect the performance.
- You can create policies based on the types of users or by the department. You can customize these policies so it will let you micro-manage the clients.
- When you push install to clients, sometimes it will fail with generic errors, and it's hard to find out what is the cause of failure. Fortunately, it doesn't require too many changes on the client-side but it takes time to figure it out.
- When we bought it, we had an option to buy it with email support or phone support. The phone support was very high priced, so we ended up buying email support. when we experience any issues, it takes a long time to get a resolution. Fortunately, we haven't used their support much.
- It had a few incidents with false calls. We are using software that generates reports in MS Word format. The software will call Word to open with a report, but the anti-exploit will consider this as a threat and will block the function. You can put Word in an exception but it won't protect Word from a real exploit in the future.

A great safety net for your network.
It was used on a trial basis for a few months on about 20-30 machines (combination of end user and server devices). It filled gaps left by our main AV solution, in particular it was able to detect a number of malware strains that our existing AV had not detected. It also has very intelligent anti-ransomware capabilities, and the feature that can show the highly detailed report of what a particular process has done (what it's spawned, files modified, URLs accessed etc) when it's ran on a machine is highly useful in identifying malicious software from false alarms. The remote remediation has also proven to be highly effective
- Anti-ransomware; the rollback feature, and the ability to stop ransomware in it's tracks would be highly valuable in the event of a ransomware infection reaching a machine. It can block a machine from communicating on the network, prevent the infection from modifying any more files, and allows for a full machine rollback to prior to the infection if required.
- The management console gives you a lot of information on the target machine, including general asset details, as well as infection details. It also has very effective remote management and remediation tools.
- The remote deployment tool could do with a little work; occasionally there would be errors deploying it to a remote asset, and the errors were not especially clear on what the issue was. The deployment tool also requires the install files to be downloaded onto the machine you are running the tool from, rather than being able to pull from a server location. The installer is also just an executable that you launch each time you want to install.
- Firewall capability isn't really present in the product as it stands, which is why it's running in tandem with our current solution.
We utilize Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection in our organization site-wide. All servers & workstations are deployed with Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection on all levels. I love this product so much because it is dependable, and everything from stage 1 of deployment to finalizing policies is super easy and done from the web portal. No need to install a local server management console any more with Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection! Why do I trust Malwarebytes? Because we have not been infected or breached while using it.
- The initial setup with Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection is speedy and straightforward since you do not have to dedicate a server for the management side of it - it is cloud-based!
- Reporting of malicious items is a breeze from the management web portal. I can quickly review items from my cell phone as I walk through the office, from home or wherever I am and need to check on these items. Other systems require you to VPN to your office, open software, log in, and start reviewing. But being cloud-based makes this so much simpler!
- I would like to see Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection create the ability to setup other admins of the system with restrictive access to only review items, but not be able to deploy machines or change the policies.
- There is an area in the admin center when you are reviewing deployed machines. You are unable to sort or search by Computer Name/Host Name. This would help to quickly locate specific devices since we do not try to memorize IP addresses used by workstations.
We use Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection and Response across 26 companies. It has performed above expectations for endpoint security and protecting against malware, ransomware and exploits.
- The cloud console is easy to navigate and allows for easy management and reporting on the endpoints. It allows us to grey list suspicious files and activity until we can vet these items can be moved to a whitelist.
- The layers of protection Malwarebytes offers allows for different method to keep our endpoints clean from Malware, exploits and ransomware. The ransomware rollback feature is a great way to mitigate these type of threats.
- Deployment is easy and effective to allow for a smooth deployment to new endpoints.
- We have not experienced any areas that we would deem room for improvement. Malwarebytes is always working on making the product better and have a solid road map for the future threats we will face.

Great product for the security paranoid
We utilize Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection (Premise-based) for the whole organization. Its anti-malware, anti-exploit, and anti-ransomware provide protection for all our Windows-based equipment, workstations, and servers. We need a product that provides both protection and centralized management and offers more protection than an anti-virus product with extra, less focused features like Symantec Endpoint Protection.
- Great protection for end points.
- Automatic definition updates without the need to contact the management server.
- Anti-exploit program self updates without the need to contact the management server.
- Supports group policy deployment.
- Supports email alerts.
- Works alongside anti-virus programs without issues.
- Usable on Windows servers and Windows workstations.
- Limited Apple support (remediation only).
- Premise based management tool no longer the focus of development in favor of new cloud based protection.
- Can't migrate to cloud based protection easily and requires different licensing.
- They released a definition package last year that caused all systems that received it to block all network access, inbound and outbound. The repair process was manual and took 15 minutes per machine to fix. The only way to learn about it was from their website and it was not easy to determine that Malwarebytes was the cause.
- Management tool does not auto-update client programs. You need to either perform a push update or update your GPO program deployment for the new package.
- Email alerts about clients only come in after the workstation has sent an update to the management server. The management server is not accessible over the internet, so reports from remote users can take days after the incident.
- The anti-exploit module does not like any JAVA programs. Barracuda JAVA VPN and Supermicro SuperDoctor get blocked. There is no exception list, so you have to disable protection.
- You can not make exclusions for programs you need protection to be disabled for.
- Some programs can be disabled by end users.
- No notification process to inform you of new updates for end user applications or the management system.
