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

Alec: My name is Alec. I'm a team manager of a real estate coaching company with multiple locations in the US reviewing NinjaOne and I currently give it a four out of five stars. Currently, we partner with a managed service provider that is using NinjaOne. They said it was really good, so we did a trial, decided to proceed forward with it, and we're really liking it. We're moving away from that MSP, so we're needing to bring everything in-house and have some of the similar tools so we can assist all of our employees. We chose NinjaOne because it's a very simple program to use. It allows us to manage all of our workstations, both Windows and Mac, running scripts that we might need to, install any applications remotely that we might need to. And it also has the service desk component so that we are able to work through tickets, show upper management how many support issues that are coming through, how we're resolving them, and just further support our department and the needs that we have. Onboarding is pretty straightforward. You just install the agents. There's a little setup on the ticket side just to get it customized how we would like it, but overall, the setup for Ninja is pretty simple and straightforward. I would recommend that you look at NinjaOne and compare it to other options out there and make sure that it meets your current needs as well as your future needs. Being an internal tool, there's not much need that we have for it for managing out the clients and things like that, but it is geared more towards a managed service provider, so make sure it meets all your requirements for that.

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.
