Malwarebytes's initial setup is simple. It is easy to deploy and configure the policies and the configuration. I deployed Malwarebytes for one customer and I did it in under two days. They had approximately 50 users, it took approximately an hour. The steps I took for the implementation were downloading the Malwarebytes management console from the site, installing it, then running the discovery tool, scanning my network, and checking all of the PCs on my network. It's already pre-configured, you don't need to configure anything. The only configuration that I did on the administration console was some of the exclusion from the scan. This is the only rule that I have created. I rate the initial setup of Malwarebytes a ten out of ten.

The initial setup of Malwarebytes was easy. The solution is deployed on the cloud. My customers have the tool deployed on their own cloud. The time for deployment depends on the number of users, which can be a hundred, two hundred, or five hundred users. Depending on your approach, if you have Active Directory and domain controller, you can deploy it centrally from the console itself with the tools that can help you deploy faster. You can also deploy the tool one by one, a process in which you can install the agent and simply install the agent and the machines, after which it will be rest registered on the cloud immediately.

The EPP solution lacks the sophisticated artificial intelligence required for automating reports and letting you know about things in real-time. It stops a suspicious activity in real-time, but it doesn't let you know in real-time. You have to look at a report, and then you find out that something is wrong. You have to manually kick off a scan. With the Advanced EDR solutions, Malwarebytes has the ability to alert you in real-time, but they still don't do automatic remediation or quarantining of devices. That is something that you still have to do manually. So, the endpoint protection piece, which is just like their basic endpoint protection, lacks AI. For the advanced detection and response piece, there is an add-on that comes with it, but it still doesn't go far enough in terms of automatic remediation of viruses. It won't separate that virus from your network if something happens. You have to manually go there and do it.

The licensing is per seat, with clients being slightly less expensive than servers. However, some customers have mentioned that Malwarebytes wants to charge more for new features, even for premium users.
