Overall Satisfaction with Malwarebytes

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.
  • Very effective at detecting and blocking threats. Stays up to date with the latest threats.
  • Makes clean up easy for IT when there is a security incident.
  • Portal makes it easy to manage incidents and build custom policies.
  • I would like to see behavior monitoring tools on their baseline product. I think these should be standard in our current threat environment.
  • Like many other endpoint security products, prices are based on device count. I think this model is outdated and pricing should be based on an agent or other criteria that are more cost-effective to scale and adjust.
  • Reliability and effectiveness. Malwarebytes is very good and identifying threats.
  • Ease of use and low use of resources.
  • Great Support and Sales team. Always a pleasure to work with.
  • Great ROI on reduced time spent on remediation.
  • Pre-built reports are very helpful and time saving.
I found Sophos to be more resource intensive, scans take longer and affect the end user experience more. Building policies and customizations is not as intuitive with Sophos.

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.
