Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

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.
