Bitdefender GravityZone vs Malwarebytes for Business: Which is a better fit?

Walt R.: Hi, I'm Walt. I'm a System Admin. I give Bitdefender five out of five. Click below. We were using Sophos when we went to Bitdefender, and I really didn't consider any other products because I already done sufficient research to know that it was the product to go with. I ended up choosing Bitdefender because one, it was the highest rated product for years from Independent Labs, and I had extensive experience of using it as both, basically, the personal product and small business product, and it had been bulletproof. It was set and forget. It just works. Bitdefender was a breeze to deploy compared to other enterprise products I have had used in the past. I was able to do it all by myself without any input from support. The only thing that was a bit of a learning curve was just learning their particular user interface, which is not quite the same as you would get with most of the mainstream products. After using Bitdefender for, gosh, now seven years and having used other products, I can't recommend any other product for your basic anti-malware. They have increased the scope and the ability of the product without increasing the load on my computers. Nobody notices when we run full scans. It has the same features of standalone products like Carbon Black, Silence, and CrowdStrike, at a price that is lower than any of those individual licenses. And like I said, Bitdefender listens to their customers and they are responsive.

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.
