(1-13 of 13)DANGER! says it is working, but actually is NOT
- scans for viruses
- encourages installation and upgrades
- has creative solutions for malware
- poor customer service
- dashboard says product is working EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT!
- slow response to concerns that should be easy to remedy
- creates baggage which caused certain computers and the network to run more slowly
- caused 3 computers on our network top have windows errors and network issues
Caused 3 computers to crash and have windows errors and network errors. These errors were resolved immediately upon removing threatdown software.
I recently renewed the MWB EDR and Vulnerabilities license for a client with 88 endpoints. I was sent a link to their payment portal and made the payment for $6,821.76. That same day, MWB reversed that payment and posted a charge to my credit card for $13,643.52 - double the original charge. They sent me an invoice showing each item and the corresponding cost twice. They also sent me a receipt for the $13,643.52.
It's going on FOUR WEEKS and every time I email them asking where the refund is, they respond with an image of a credit memo and thanking me for my patience. They told me it was an issue with my bank. Then they told me they're checking with their bank. And they thank me for my patience.
- Stops Ransomware Attacks
- Blocks Hacking Attempts
- Identifies Vulnerabilities and Required Patches
- Protects Our Clients' Networks and Data
- Their Accounting Department - STOP Double Billing My Company
- Customer Support - Don't Thank Me For My Patience - Refund Our Money
- Stop Saying It's The Bank's Fault Your Company Has Not Refunded The Unauthorized Charge To My Credit Card
- Ease of administration
- Visibility
- Ease of implementation
- Detection and removal of threats
- Malwarebytes blocks access to malicious URL's, but the access isn't always user generated. It would be nice if Malwarebytes could help identify the source better.
- Once in a great while, an endpoint that uses Malwarebytes disconnects from the Nebula console. This has only happened twice in the last 4 years, but it is inconvenient and not realized until a manual audit is done.
- It would be nice if Malwarebytes would integrate with our RMM solution.
- Light footprint
- Affordable
- Can be used in conjunction with Windows Defender or other third-party antivirus solutions
- End user functionality is limited--can only launch scans. Would be nice to offer more features for the end user.
- Some updates must be done or at least approved manually, instead of automatic updating.
- It catches some false positives, so they need to tone down the aggressiveness somewhat.
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection Delivers Safety in the Dangerous World of Data Technology
Malwarebytes addresses the issues of malware and ransomware by doing an excellent job of protecting all systems within our network as well as users' portable laptops. In a world where ransomware is becoming a daily issue for mid to large-sized companies, this is an insurance policy that every company needs to have.
- Protects against malware - No matter how much training you give end users on social hacking, there is always a breach at some point.
- Protects against ransomware - Ransomware could spell disaster for a company...it could literally shut the doors for good.
- Centralized administration - Without a terrific centralized method to manage all the systems being protected, it would require an extra position just to maintain all endpoints.
- The main con for me is trying to find a con to complain about. I simply cannot think of anything negative I have to say about MalwareBytes in the experience I have had with them to date.
The only place Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection may not be AS appropriate would be one where there is near zero reliance on computers, networks and data.
- The GUI is intuitive and easy to navigate.
- It is easy to install and see your protection immediately.
- The price is comparable to competitors.
- I have not found any since using this software.
Effective add-on for a Defense-in-Depth Strategy
- Simple Licensing scheme
- Ease of setup
- Ease of management
- Reporting
- Threat remediation
Carefree Malware Protection
- Scan can be customized on many levels.
- Convient scheduling interface.
- GUI is very intuitive an easy to use.
- Updates from one version to another can be challenging. Regular updates are a must.
- We have not had any issues, but Malwarebytes has gotten some poor reviews on their support in industry publications.
The best tool to protect against Ransomware, Malware and Spyware
- 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.
A great safety net for your network.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Great product for the security paranoid
- Great protection for end points.
- Automatic definition updates without the need to contact the management server.
- Anti-exploit program self updates without the need to contact the management server.
- Supports group policy deployment.
- Supports email alerts.
- Works alongside anti-virus programs without issues.
- Usable on Windows servers and Windows workstations.
- Limited Apple support (remediation only).
- Premise based management tool no longer the focus of development in favor of new cloud based protection.
- Can't migrate to cloud based protection easily and requires different licensing.
- They released a definition package last year that caused all systems that received it to block all network access, inbound and outbound. The repair process was manual and took 15 minutes per machine to fix. The only way to learn about it was from their website and it was not easy to determine that Malwarebytes was the cause.
- Management tool does not auto-update client programs. You need to either perform a push update or update your GPO program deployment for the new package.
- Email alerts about clients only come in after the workstation has sent an update to the management server. The management server is not accessible over the internet, so reports from remote users can take days after the incident.
- The anti-exploit module does not like any JAVA programs. Barracuda JAVA VPN and Supermicro SuperDoctor get blocked. There is no exception list, so you have to disable protection.
- You can not make exclusions for programs you need protection to be disabled for.
- Some programs can be disabled by end users.
- No notification process to inform you of new updates for end user applications or the management system.
