LastPass vs Malwarebytes for Business: Which is a better fit?

Brooke: Hi, I'm Brooke. I'm the Director of Customer Success. I give LastPass a five-star rating. And for more reviews like this, you can click the link below. Prior to LastPass, we were using just the standard Google Chrome password settings that save your password automatically. But that was not the most efficient way to be able to figure out which passwords were stored in your system and shared with other users. LastPass is the solution that we're working with because it makes it really easy to have shared and stored passwords for all different team members. And you can store different passwords that sync up with your browser. So anytime you visit that website, it automatically locks you in. You're also able to safely store credit card details, which is really helpful for business purposes. And in general, it just makes it easy to securely have all these different logins for all these different platforms in one shared space. So it's super easy. Helps us log into everything we're doing every day. Getting started with LastPass was really easy because all you have to do is obviously create an account, but then you can use a Google Chrome extension that allows you to log in to all of your websites at any time very easily. So it's an amazing extension that's associated with the LastPass platform. For anyone who's looking to get started with LastPass, I definitely recommend making sure all of your passwords and login, email addresses, et cetera, are already organized so that you can easily import them into LastPass. They make it really easy to import. And then once you're signed in, once you're able to log in routinely from there, it's a super easy setup process.

Gerald: My name is Gerald. I'm a freelance script writer in the film and television industry. I give Malwarebytes a four out of five rating. For more reviews, please look below. Previously, I used McAfee and I found it was giving me a whole lot of false positives for viruses, et cetera. And it seemed to be using a whole lot of memory and generally interfering with the functioning of the computer. So right now, what I use is Microsoft Defender which comes with Windows 10 and I use Malwarebytes. And technically, they're supposed to be compatible if you use a certain switch in Malwarebytes, which I did. And they both seem to work quite well. I chose Malwarebytes when I think they first began as a company and I had a problem with the computer that got really infected with malware. And so, I went on the web and started looking at programs that could clean that kind of malware. This was not really viruses, but malware. And the name Malwarebytes came up, so I purchased it. In those days, it was not too expensive. It was about $25 for a lifetime purchase. And I've had it ever since. They've since changed their pricing policy, but they've been really nice and grandfathered me in. So I'm have a lifetime subscription based on [inaudible 00:02:00], because I suppose I got in on the ground floor and I appreciate that from them. It works mostly in the background. So most of the time, I'm really, I'm not even conscious of it, which is I suppose the way it's supposed to be in a way. It does have some problems in the sense that it flags occasionally good sites as being a suspect or having malware in them when I know in fact they don't. And so, you have to white go to the trouble of white listing those sites. But generally, it works in the background and you're not really conscious of it. If malware does occur, you get a pop-up and it tells you that there is some malware. Fortunately, I never have virtually have no malware at all. So, I'm fortunate in that way. I think I would recommend it. There's a few caveats, which I've still don't quite understand. Malwarebytes itself like advertises itself as both being a virus, antiviral program, and a malware, anti-malware program. But in reading reports and reviews from magazines and such, they often say that it is not a virus cleaner and you still need an antiviral program. So I'm a bit confused about that, but I have both an antiviral program and Malwarebytes running. So I suppose here I have two levels of security, and two is better than one. So if Malwarebytes doesn't catch something, the antiviral program will or vice versa. So, I'd recommend it in that sense. There's no problem having to, if they don't conflict with each other.
