User Testimonials
Cofense TriageThreatDown, powered by Malwarebytes
Likelihood to Recommend
The tool is very helpful in improving Phishing detection capabilities as it streamlines the process of analyzing user reports a lot. Besides it has a built-in mechanism of rating reporters(end-users) based on their historical performance. Downside - tool requires continuous resource investment to deliver best result. Tool is not helping too much in improving user-education, because automated response process is not immediate and is prone to errors

I would absolutely recommend Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection to a colleague and I have recommended it to many of my peers in the IT world. Malwarebytes is well suited for any environment that requires protection from mal/ransomware which is most companies these days. In particular for companies that host their own big data that the operation of the company relies on. 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.

Pros
  • Separating links and attachments contained in the email, and checking to see if they are known malicious.
  • Clustering like emails to save time when responding.
  • Providing risks scores with each cluster to give an estimate on which clusters should be addressed first.

  • 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.

Cons
  • YARA rules, while the functionality is fantastic I've found that the documentation can be a bit confusing. Although, that might just be my personal experience.
  • Rare glitches make the send notification button unusable. This can be remediated by navigating to a different report, but [it] is a bit of a pain in the moment.
  • I would like to see a dark mode get added as well, but that's obviously a tertiary concern.

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

Usability
The interface is easy and intuitive.

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

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

Alternatives Considered
The other product had a lot of fails on the auto-processing and did not integrate well with our current environment. One issue had to do with the way it sends the submissions to its processing engine—our email gateway configuration would have blocked this traffic. I also did not like the user interface.

I think Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection is hands down better from any point of view other than price. Malwarebytes is a little bit more costly than Webroot. However, Malwarebytes detects more threats, protects against more malicious URL's, allows more in customization of policies, has better administration GUI, and has better means of implementation.

Return on Investment
  • The biggest impact has been the time saved.
  • My company had nothing of this sort previously and we were stuck trying to make use of free resources and doing things very manually. Triage was a huge life saver in this area.
  • The ability to quickly respond to several users at once has been a great help.

  • Other than over billing our company by $6,821.76, our clients are very happy with our approach to network security and malware protection
  • Our service and lack of data breaches (do in part to Malwarebytes) has allowed us to retain our client base for over two decades.
