ThreatDown, powered by Malwarebytes, continues to excel

It simply works. It doesn't require the hand-holding and monitoring that some other solutions do. It's simple to deploy and maintain, and adding custom content such as Exceptions require minimal effort. I’ve had to add a few exceptions for internal-use, in-house-developed tools, but it’s quite simple to do so within the online interface.

In a smaller organization, the tool is extremely valuable. I didn't used to have tools for patch management, software audits and ransomware rollback -- but since I became a ThreatDown, powered by Malwarebytes (formerly Malwarebytes), customer many years ago, they added all of these features. In a larger company -- especially in 2024 -- perhaps you have dedicated tools such as InTune to help with some of this. But even with dedicated tools, I don't feel comfortable with just Windows Defender or WebRoot or (insert any standard anti-virus solution name here). ThreatDown, powered by Malwarebytes, consistently finds and blocks items that the other don't. Adding it to my arsenal was one of the best IT purchases I've made. It's not expensive and has a breadth of useful functionality.

When I first used the tool in my home systems MANY years ago, I wished for a Business version. I was once at a focus group for a major antivirus company, and one attendee’s feedback to “what could we do better?” was “buy out MalwareBytes and add it to your tool”. I’ve used the Business version since it first became available, and have continued to be a dedicated user through the many iterations and improvements.

I first implemented this more than 10 years ago, when it required an in-site setup with SQL Server (or SQL Express), and even that was pretty easy. With the move to centralized web management some treats ago, it’s become even easier to deploy.

Super-responsive to issues that arose related to the uniqueness (weirdness) of our internal environment.
