Malwarebytes Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We regularly use Malwarebytes to clean up stations throughout our organization or to diagnose issues if we start encountering unusual behavior, especially with browsers or on the internet. The scan has proven useful, but doesn't always catch everything, notably rootkits.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use the malware scanner and remover using real time protection against malware, ransomware, and malicious websites.

Likelihood to Recommend

<div>Ideal for use alongside other antivirus solutions (like Windows Defender) to scan and remove threats that slip past real-time protection.</div><div>

</div><div>Less suited for financial firms and developers handling sensitive code who need near-perfect detection rates</div>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am the I.T.

Admin. for our private k-12 school. We have been using Malwarebytes Premium

version for the past 3 years on most of our fifty (25) Admin workstations. We do not use

the addon VPN.

In addition to Malwarebytes, we currently utilize a subscription hardware firewall that scans

packets, provides for Intrusion Prevention Service, AV, Application Control, Web Blocker, Spam Blocker, Reputation Enabled Defense, and Botnet Detection.

So, we have a lot of protection. And believe me,

Malwarebytes still can find stop that makes it through the gamut and reaches

our workstations. And when that happens, Malwarebytes actively intercepts the

threats. It is not often, but it happens enough that the small price to pay per

machine is well worth the benefit.

All of our workstations are Windows

11 Professional. Some have mechanical hard drives, other SSD, and still others

NVME M.2. Every workstation that has Malwarebytes installed is still really

fast, that is to say, our machines do not appear to lag at all while running

Malwarebytes..

Likelihood to Recommend

Easy to install and easy to move license(s) to replacement machine(s). Great as an addon to existing high-ed protection hardware/software. We absolutely benefit from the additional protection Malwarebytes provides.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Be Careful!!! With over 1,300 endpoints protected for years, I can say this is a great product. OUR PROBLEM IS: Three weeks ago, I paid for a renewal for 88 licenses through their online payment portal. The next day, they reversed that charge from my credit card and made an unauthorized charge of DOUBLE, over $13,800. It's been three weeks, and they keep asking me to be patient while they figure out where my refund is. I even messaged the CEO via LinkedIn, and still NO REFUND! Who does this?

Likelihood to Recommend

Malwarebytes is great. I can recommend the product, but I can't get them to refund an unauthorized charge to my credit card of over $6,000. It's been three weeks and all I have is a screenshot of an internal refund document.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Malwarebytes protects from inadvertent website selections. It is the only product that I use, in concert with Microsoft Defender. The users that I manage and the computers that I have recommended using Malwarebytes, have remained without incident after years of use. I don't use or recommend any other combination of products because of the success of protection; and my experience of other products affecting performance of computers. Malwarebytes operates in the background without creating objectionable performance issues.

Likelihood to Recommend

You install Malwarebytes and forget it! You only know it is there when you get a notification or warning of a "catch" of an inappropriate website or application. Unlike other software options, the best part is that you are protected without advertisements or slow computer operation.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used malware bytes as a secondary antivirus program as we had another antivirus as our primary source of protection, but still, Malwarebytes was easy for us to quickly check systems for viruses and malware. We made use of their trial version to check its features and later we decided to go with paid versions. As it is easy to use, even a beginner can master this software. Quick scan time helps to save a lot of our time.

Likelihood to Recommend

Malwarebytes will be very useful for people who don't want to sit for hours and hours for a virus scan. It can scan your complete PC within a minimum time. People can make use of a 14-day trial of this software to check if it works in your case. Finally worth the try.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Malwarebytes is being used to keep all computers virus-free. Since most of us are still working remotely and logging into the server from home, we needed something to keep our computers safe from viruses. This program came highly recommended by our IT consultant. I get a weekly report from them showing the viruses they quarantined and if any computer is in need of service.

Likelihood to Recommend

I know that computers are not 100% safe but it gives me some peace of mind knowing Malwarebytes is monitoring our computers daily. It is very easy to install and use. We were able to take out a 3-year contract for 5 users at a reasonable price.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When anything nasty hits a computer, we trust Malwarebytes to scan, detect, and reverse the harm done. It has proven to actually detect things which other solutions do not detect. The issue with the solution is that it does get a bit heavy when doing a rootkit scan. At times that causes the computers to become non-responsive.

Likelihood to Recommend

Appropriate to be used as a daily endpoint protection tool. It is suitable for personal, small, medium, and even large enterprises and can be trusted as a daily driver. But if you end up starting a rootkit scan during working hours, you'll have to get another temporary device for that user, as the computer being scanned gets heavy.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have Malwarebytes deployed across select users throughout our organization who we believe are at higher risk compared to our other users. We did this because we have found Malwarebytes to provide better overall protection on endpoints compared to other products. Also, Malwarebytes has a better admin console. We may consider deploying Malwarebytes more so in the future.

Likelihood to Recommend

We only use the Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection software, which is only meant for endpoints for end users. Therefore, this product works really well for that.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Malwarebytes is a reliable and effective line of defense at the endpoint. In combination with other security measures, is helps keep our users and company safe from a variety of threats. With less time and resources spent on security and clean-up, business continuity is not disrupted. It works so well the end-user doesn't even know it is there, running in the background without hogging resources.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is a great product for an organization with a small IT dept. It is easy to deploy and manage, and if you purchase the R]response product it can save you a lot of time on remediation and other issues. Since you have to purchase separate products for servers, large enterprises with a lot of servers might see high costs.
