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.

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 has offerings for end users all the way to large corporations, so pretty much anyone can benefit from their great technology. The end user software is very customizable and configurable, while the endpoint agents meant for corporations are more locked down and have limited functionality (for the end users). However, admins have full control and visibility into the agents, and agents can even be remotely installed and uninstalled, and installed via Active Directory GPO--a nice feature!
  • Affordable price
  • Full features and control
  • Good support system in case of issues or questions

  • Positive effect on ROI since the software is relatively affordable
  • Keeps us from having to clean and remediate machines, therefore another positive on ROI
  • Free included support with the license--a nice feature
In the past, we've used McAfee, ESET, and Trend Micro. Each of these has their pros and cons, and all are variably priced. They are all overall "good enough" antivirus software, but what makes Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection stand out more is that it's more affordable, it's simpler, and it has the ability to work in conjunction with other antivirus platforms, including Windows Defender.

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.
I would absolutely recommend Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection to a colleague and I have recommended it to many of my peers in the IT world. Malwarebytes is well suited for any environment that requires protection from mal/ransomware which is most companies these days. In particular for companies that host their own big data that the operation of the company relies on.

The only place Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection may not be AS appropriate would be one where there is near zero reliance on computers, networks and data.
  • Scanning for malware
  • Scanning for Ransomware
  • Centralized administration

  • Malwarebytes has removed the requirement for additional staff for continuous monitoring of the network and devices
  • Malwarebytes has removed the need for extra manpower to manage all end points to ensure they are protected
  • Malwarebytes has allowed us to allocate money towards other technology and infrastructure due to excellent cost of ownership
We chose Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection after reviewing hundreds of reviews from peers and calculating to cost of ownership and ROI which Malwarebytes handily beat any potential competitors we dealt with. They really worked with us to come up with a plan and a price that worked for both of us and we really appreciated the quick responses and how well the company seems to be operating, giving us comfort as to the future of Malwarebytes.

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.
Simply install the software and let it run. It will actively inspect every packet entering your network. If the access attempt is unauthorized it will be blocked and logged for review. Review the report often and you can find where your network is weakest. Then you can focus your efforts on where it is needed most.
  • Reliable real time security. Malwarebytes blocks the attempt before it becomes a problem.
  • It is primarily hands off. It is well automated with little input from me.
  • The up front cost was what I expected.

  • We have not had an intrusion since we started using the software. Priceless.
  • Malwarebytes does not seem to slow down our network or take up a critical amount of processing resources.
  • Our customers like to see that we take advantage of every protection resource available.
Avast and Bitdefender. Malwarebytes works well in the background, with little input require from the user. The software does not seem to slow down the network while it is scanning. The increase in security level justifies the upfront cost of implementing this type of protection.

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.
  • Malware Protection
  • Security Reporting
  • Incident Triage
  • Partial Endpoint Auditing
The renewal decision is not up to me and also, the current economic situation might not allow renewal
