I am trying to find a good product to use in my corporate environment for endpoint remediation/malware removal. We have several security devices/products so aren't looking for anything fancy. Right now I use Malwarebytes, but when I went looking for business licenses they stated that they sell them based on the size of the environment. We don't want to shell out a bunch of money for this. I was also thinking maybe Hitman Pro.
Any thoughts?

I do not want to advertise my product. But you can try Xvirus Personal Guard. It is free and a nice scanning tool if you disable the real time protection. Just be carefull with the false positives, check on virustotal before deleting any file. In alternative you have: immunet, nano Antivirus and unThreat Antivirus. Those last 3 are also free for corporate use.

Malwarebytes business edition is not the new version 2, it's still 1.72, which is kinda wired. HitmanPro is good, but you will have to pay for each license key, unless they would sell you a business package. Endpoint wise Symantec and Sophos are the best you can get.

Most endpoint solutions sell their products based on the number of seats (PC's) Most paid products will make you contact them for a quote such as ESET or Kaspersky .I know ESET does offer a business trial.Their small office endpoint runs from around $150 for 5 pc's to around $330 for 15 pc's.
Not knowing the number of PC's you need protected and what you might consider a bunch of money it's difficult to suggest something paid.ESET,Kaspersky,Norton all offer good endpoint solutions.I think good protection will cost something but there are free options also that are better than Malwarebytes and Hitman Pro in terms of real time protection.

For business use, I know it's an additional cost, but think of the cost if you were hit by crypto ransomware.

Some vendors provide free security for small businesses, it may be worth researching who does. Microsoft etc.

Many business endpoints available in the corner, as always mentioned; it varies on the complexity setup for creating servers to a network and assumption all should have very sufficient setup.

Norton Endpoint Security, Kaspersky Small business version and others can be compatible, just remember make an account limited so that none of users may execute programs which required privilege.

for business you don't have much choices:

- Symantec Endpoint (managed version) , i run the unmanaged one on my actual laptop.
- Sophos Endpoint

all the rest are small players , even Kaspersky
