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.
This software is doing an excellent job. The management console and low overhead on the end-user computer is a big plus. You can buy the licenses in packs. The software is a bit pricey, so if you are on a tight budget then you need to look for a different solution.

  • The software is pricey, but it protects you from ransomware so considering the downtime if you ever get any ransomware, the price pays it off.
FortiClient is very good software, but it's more of a anti-virus software. We have used Symantec but it has so many issues, and the list is long.
The software is very easy to manage. In 4 years, we hardly have experienced any issues. It simply works.
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.

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.
It's well suited to most environments, however, it has some compatibility issues if you need to deploy it to older operating systems that are out of support (which is understandable of course). If you work in an environment where you have older OS's in the business, the client may not be able to be installed remotely, or at all (depending on the OS). However, if the product supports the OS's you run, it's a very good product to invest in for peace of mind. I was also able to run it on the servers with no impact on their performance

  • 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.
It provides excellent cover in terms of ransomware, and when running various testing tools to see the effectiveness, it scored much more highly than our existing product. It also has excellent recovery options, with the roll back feature. I selected it because of the experience I'd had in the past with the free tool, which is always the first choice we go to when we've had an infection on a machine that our AV has been unable to remove
Whenever I've had a query for the support team, they have got back to me very quickly, and given me very well detailed advice on fixing whatever the issue I had was. They also pointed me to help documents and such where I could find more information if I needed.

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.
I will always recommend Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection because it has not failed my company. We have detected more infections as a result of using other security software and scanned to compare findings with Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection. It is scary when Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection finds things that your existing software did not see and are real vulnerabilities. The minimal amount of resources it uses to protect your environment actively is fantastic! We eliminated an entire server by switching to Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection from competitors' solutions, as they all require a dedicated server to install the admin management software on. With Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection Cloud, everything is in the cloud, and you do not need a server for this!

  • Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection has had a HUGE positive impact on our ROI as we eliminated the need for an entire server, CALs & other licenses as well.
  • We are saving a lot of time on the management side of Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection as compared to others as it is cloud based and we are able to manage it from everywhere and not just one server. This has improved our performance and reduced expenses as well.
I stick with Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection because of the simplicity of deploying and managing the product and policies. Most importantly - because it works to defend our network and systems so well that we have had little to no need for intervening on any items. Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection uses minimal resources to run and actively scan all your traffic and inbound mail to ensure only good things are getting in and all the bad things are staying out. Most security stops there. But with Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection, it also makes sure that all your essential data stay in there and does not get out to malicious activity. Updating and pushing new policies or changes is the easiest of all the security software. Without needing to stage anything and having multiple methods of scanning your network to detect endpoints, Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection becomes the quickest and easiest security software to deploy in a network.
The staff at Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection is superb! They know their system and software! Each time we have reached individuals that know the system and could knowledgeably answer questions that were far from basic, these were advanced questions. The staff is very polite and willing to seek help from superiors to make exceptions to the normal answers. All of our interactions with Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection staff have been great!

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.
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection and Response is capable of working in all sizes of businesses. It lends itself useful to administrators with little to no knowledge to the very astute.

  • We gained hours back in our day to deal with other tasks while Malwarebytes handles our endpoint protection.
  • The cost of this software and service well outweigh the cost of downtime from the threats of today.
We used some of the other products as our endpoint protection and they were not up to today's threats. Malwarebytes found threats the others let in from the 1st day we used it. We knew right then we had made the right choice.
We have used their support several times and it is always fast, professional and their staff is eager to help.
