We use Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection on end user machines that are used by users who have broader permissions in business applications and also used by users who are more susceptible to clicking on malicious links, malicious attachments, etc. We only use it on a select number of end user machines.
  • Ease of administration
  • Visibility
  • Ease of implementation
  • Detection and removal of threats
  • Malwarebytes blocks access to malicious URL's, but the access isn't always user generated. It would be nice if Malwarebytes could help identify the source better.
  • Once in a great while, an endpoint that uses Malwarebytes disconnects from the Nebula console. This has only happened twice in the last 4 years, but it is inconvenient and not realized until a manual audit is done.
  • It would be nice if Malwarebytes would integrate with our RMM solution.
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.

  • I believe it has a positive impact. I do not have ROI numbers, but Malwarebytes has provided better protection over our other antimalware solution, which means less labor time has been needed to address the infections that were occurring.
  • Also, Malwarebytes has detected and stopped more attempts to reach malicious URL's than our other solution, which we did not know was happening before.
  • Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere)
I think Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection is hands down better from any point of view other than price. Malwarebytes is a little bit more costly than Webroot. However, Malwarebytes detects more threats, protects against more malicious URL's, allows more in customization of policies, has better administration GUI, and has better means of implementation.

These people represent many departments, which include IT, facilities service management, student services, faculty, HR, financial aid, online program management, student development, and sales. We primarily use Malwarebytes on end user machines where we believe the end users are more susceptible or gullible on malicious emails, malicious attachments, etc. and where we know certain end users have more access to business data compared to other employees.

Given the ease of administration and implementation, a person with average tech skill can get Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection rolled out and deployed in a production environment. It is really easy to use and customize policies. A person with higher cybersecurity skill would be needed if big breach occurred, such as a large outbreak of ransomware.
  • Need for more security
  • Added protection for susceptible end users
  • Ease of administration
  • Ease of implementation
  • Malwarebytes has recently added some modules that can be added on, such as patch management for Windows machines and vulnerability assessments. We are considering adding on these modules.
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection does a really good job and does a better job than Webroot.

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
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection proved to be near ideal for a secondary solution. Running it in conjunction with a traditional antivirus solution provides the best endpoint protection in my experience. Also, even though the reports are a bit lacking in detail, they still make a good starting point when investigating incidents.
  • Deep Scanning
  • Reporting

  • We saved a lot of time no longer having to hunt malware that was missed by traditional antivirus software
  • Endpoint Management could be better
  • Lack of detail in the reports needs work
In my experience, Malwarebytes doesn't compete with other endpoint protection products but it complements them for a more effective defense in depth strategy. While it is possible to run Malwarebytes as your only endpoint protection solution, I have found it best to use it in the above-mentioned manner.

Every end user in the organization. From production to administration.

Being the sole administrator of the product, I have found that security analytics skills are more important than security engineering skills when it come to the effective support of this product. Therefore, I would reccomend someone who holds a CompTIA CySA+ or Cisco CyberOps Associate certification rather than someone who holds CISSP, etc.

The renewal decision is not up to me and also, the current economic situation might not allow renewal
