PsychologicalForm Posted February 16, 2018 ID:1216443 Share Posted February 16, 2018 We have 80 days left on our MBAM Cloud licensing, and for the first time since I began using MBAM (I was an early enterprise adopter) we will likely not be renewing. MBAM Cloud feels extremely half baked, and the lack of options and features makes managing mbam cloud a nightmare right now. For example I can not even rename and endpoint in the cloud console or execute a scan from the Endpoint overview page. With that said, our primary issue is the lack of Enterprise support options (forum coming soon?) and the bugs that have been introduced to MBAM Cloud that never existed in MBAM EE or previous versions before that. Right now for example, any users that connects to our Split Tunnel L2TP VPN has to have MBAMs Web protection module disabled, or else IE/Chrome grind to a halt. Disabling the web protection module instantly resolves the issue. We also can not add custom URLs or IPs to the blocked website lists, so as we get phishing attempts into our various enterprise mailboxes I am forced to create a forum entry and pray its adopted quickly - or blacklist it to our 8 firewalls and pray I beat users to the punch. A loyal but extremely disappointed and let down customer since Day 1, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychologicalForm Posted February 16, 2018 Author ID:1216451 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I won't turn this into a running list, but here is another one. I can not copy the location or expand it. There is no way to copy the location of the file of this false positive event into exclusions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted February 22, 2018 ID:1218584 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Mike it pains me to hear about these issues you are experiencing For future serious issues like these please do submit a ticket for fastest support For the VPN issues this is a currently known defect with the web protection module, leaving the web protection module disabled should allow the other features to function without issues. User added blocks is a highly requested feature we hope to release soon Cscript exploit block is resolved in the latest version of anti exploit and we will be releasing it with the next update Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously with the need to disable web protection we feel we are leaving users at risk. Right now in order to leave our enterprise users non-impacted by MBAM we need to disable web protection, exploit protection, and continue to report URLs to the forums. Its painful. Please help me out by expanding on your ticket comment. We have submitted tickets but we don't typically hear back. Can you confirm the process for me? Maybe i'm getting it wrong.

IT_Guy Posted February 23, 2018 ID:1218846 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Have you tried uninstalling everything and then reinstalling everything and then disabling everything? Rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinse and repeat. Well, we tried both 1.) uninstalling everything as well as 2.) disabling everything. those worked great! As far as reinstalling everything and enabling everything, both of those options break everything. /s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychologicalForm Posted February 23, 2018 Author ID:1218858 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Cleatus, Coming from a long long long time Enterprise customer of MBAM, this pains me but here is my current list of reasons to probably hold off on Cloud 1.) Long list of issues using VPN with web detection enabled. (its broken) 2.) Cscript known bug (anti-exploit is broken) 3.) Unable to rename endpoint in console (DESKTOP-1R1CUKD.domain.local for example)(Client portion is broken) 4.) Unable to add URLs to custom/company blacklist 5.) Unable to copy file path of detected virus in Quarantine and Detections section. (Hover only, no expand or copy) 6.) Unable to view logged on user to any domain connected endpoint.

kahml Posted February 23, 2018 ID:1218865 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Mike, I'm sure your list is longer. Continuum pulled MBAM Business Edition out of its RMM tool last month and I was really and truly hoping that this offering would work in the same fashion. All I asked for was one location with which to attend to any malware issues on all of my clients' computers... It seems that this product - as it stands now - is not the solution. So I'm simply going to have to purchase licenses for the desktops, go the completely unmonitored route and check back with y'all in another year...

Cleatus Posted February 23, 2018 ID:1218878 Share Posted February 23, 2018 thx for the info--if you have any more as you think of, or come across-- post em we (were) working on going to cloud version...about 1800 of em...many on VDI/VPN, etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychologicalForm Posted February 23, 2018 Author ID:1218901 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think it's important to note i'm not, and never have, bashed MBAM. These are things we're talking about from a purely objective perspective. We were extremely happy on MBAM EE. The issue was the dashboard look identical all through beta and into release, so we assumed development was halted. Then we had clients on users machines that carried the same version for a year, so we figured MBAM Cloud was getting all the dev attention. Jumping ship we felt like we landed in an early Alpha product (subjective) but the features simply are not there (objective), the bugs are there in great numbers (objective) and the support is not there either (objective). MBAM is clearly the leader in definitions - it'll be hugely successful when it catches up in other areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djacobson Posted April 3, 2018 ID:1229735 Share Posted April 3, 2018 @MikePahl318 MBAE is not broken, CScript launching in particular ways with homebrew apps, browser add-ons, office doc opening or printing scripts and can trigger it depending on what you are having CScript do or what calls it. If it is Explorer.exe or a browser calling it, that's a no no as that is typical exploit behavior, basically your browser has no business running command line. We will need to review your MBAE hit to give you a workaround for it. Did you have a case open for that already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
