We evaluated Carbon Black and Trend Micro. We had a demo with Carbon Black. It is a really good solution, but it is expensive, and there is a learning curve associated with it,

We use a research company. We had a meeting with them, and they gave us an initial bad report with Malwarebytes. The researcher thought that we were this huge company, whereas we only have 150 employees. The same person wrote a report saying that Malwarebytes was good. The report they gave us at a meeting contradicted another report they gave us.

I believe that there were some other options evaluated at the time. I think Kaspersky and ESET were evaluated, but their implementation was going to be a little difficult from my understanding.

I have evaluated many other solutions, such as Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Fortinet, and CrowdStrike.

While we have Malwarebytes now, we want to replace it with maybe CrowdStrike, Sentinel ONE, or Microsoft. We're looking at all of them.

The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products. Also, one license allows you to run it on up to two devices simultaneously.

We evaluated Sophos, Check Point, Microsoft Defender, and Bitdefender. 

We did look at other options. However, we found this solution to be light on the endpoint computer. It does a great job of protecting against malware and it's cheap, which is quite important to the kind of clients we're working with.

We didn't evaluate other options. At the time, Malwarebytes was literally the only tool. Now, there are others, but it was the only tool at the time.

I didn't specifically evaluate other options but I did go through a decision analysis process to figure out the best option for me. I listed what I wanted from the software and then rated all the alternatives against my requirements. It was a checklist and the solutions that didn't pass got kicked out. That's how I ended up with Malwarebytes. It was about functionality. 

I am also using Kaspersky for endpoint antivirus protection.

It is the best solution out there currently.

Before choosing this solution we considered solutions from Microsoft.

We had the biggest vendors on our shortlist. We chose this vendor because of the support and it clean user interface.
