I believe it is best suited for people who work remotely, travel and change places they work from all the time. It's the case for me. I am aware of how many dangers connecting to so many different open networks with god knows what level of protection, and potentially exposing my data, can bring. I also need to go over hundreds of websites weekly to search for info and log in to so many systems that also have different levels of data protection. So for me, a digital nomad, a remote worker, a solution like Clario is among the essential set of tools I pay for monthly. I better pay for a solution like Clario now as a preventive tool than pay a much higher price to get out of potential data theft risks later :)
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.
Clario extension for safari blocks most pop-ups and annoying ads on websites.
Clario shows a green or red checkmark next to each Safari search result, which signals whether the link is safe or not.
It's really easy to enable the VPN feature when I need to access other countries' search results, and to overall keep my data secured while using different Wi-Fi networks.
I like their impeccable support service. If I have any questions, they usually reply in the chat within a few seconds. I've talked to a few of their agents regarding different issues, and all of them were very friendly, helpful, and nice.
It's not often you come across such a smooth and pretty design. I like how the Clario mobile app looks and how it guides me through all of the steps to secure my device.
Clario doesn't send me a bunch of annoying notifications daily as many other apps tend to do. Almost all of their alerts are about the useful things I need to pay attention to keep my data secured. Which is lovely and helpful, and not at all annoying. I hate when apps send a bunch of unnecessary notifications.
The software is very good at working in the background without interfering with the end user in any way, there has never been a complaint of slowness on the machines or any excessive scan times because the users are unaware of it.
Malwarebytes management console is a very nice interface that tracks all of the machines on the network and shows which one is online, offline, up to date, out of date etc. I can also push installation packages to new machines without end user interaction.
Malwarebytes does extremely well what it is made to do, and that is to stop malware. Never once has any infection made it past malwarebytes to harm an end user machine.
Malwarebytes is always up to date, definitions are downloaded on a daily basis, you can trust that your software is current and you are being protected from the latest threats out there.
As of 2021 Q1, I have had issues with upgrading Malwarebytes installs on endpoints from the admin console. On about 30%-50% of the endpoints, I have to manually uninstall them, reboot, and reinstall Malwarebytes. This is a relatively new feature over the last year that Malwarebytes has done that let's you control updating the endpoint agent.
The last time we renewed Malwarebytes, we renewed for a 3 year renewal. That should describe the confidence we have in the product. Plus the cost savings impact year after year.
Usability-wise, it's pretty good, and it gets the job done. But once that's finished, the nags, the pop-ups, and the fact that it slows older systems down recklessly really cost it rating points. It becomes a clutter, and one of the first things we check when we receive reports that a PC is slow is whether it's running malware. Once we uninstall it, the PC is usually easily 40-50% faster. That's too much in the way of resources for something that wants to always run in the background.
I have to say that Clario customer service is simply outstanding. When you talk to their experts, it does feel that they are experts - and they also answer literally the moment you message them
I honestly haven't needed support for Malwarebytes because I haven't had any problems with it, whatsoever. I am giving it a 9 rating because I haven't actually had an encounter or experience with customer service or support, so it's hard to rate the actual support team since I've never had the privilege of coming into contact with them.
We used this app earlier for work. It’s a decent vpn and it’s also a fun one to use - with those jars of honey and a bear for hunting them. Overall it’s been nice but the cost of this app was the problem to be honest. With Clario I get the same vpn plus an ad blocker and safe browsing. These three apps separately would cost like 3 Clario subscriptions. No one wants to pay twice and that’s what I thought too. This was the main reason why I completely switched to Clario. I subscribed just for the VPN but then discovered it has other tools included so I stayed with them. Now this app is my go-to VPN and a default browser ad blocker. I noticed that Clario targets mostly regular users but for me it’s actually a solid business tool that I would definitely recommend for those tired of buying like 15 apps each month
Malwarebytes seems to lead the industry in customer focus. Their support team is superior. The breadth of services they offer is a major factor along with their roadmap for the future. I believe the update process is one of the easiest I've experienced with major software platforms. You may be able to receive a discount if you purchase through a reseller / IT vendor.
