It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Interesting. Yeah I agree with you, it needs a bit of work but for it to still be in beta it surprisingly works a lot better than other applications that were in the beta process.

It would be nice if they combine Anti Malware, Anti Exploit, and Anti Ransomware into one suite.

He meant that was you were asking for was an all-in-one security similar to HitmanPro.Alert(antimalware scanner + anti-ransomware + anti-exploit + other stuff)

HitmanPro.Alert - SurfRight
HMP.A can be a sort of complete protection without a real-time scanning and a firewall.

Considering how early in the beta the software is, it looks promising and with the level of quality that MBAE, and MBAM aspire to, MBAR will be no exception.
I do agree though that they need to combine this into a single software due to the memory usage of running all 3 separately.
I'm running beta build 0.9.4.299 on Win 10 Pro 1511 and have had no issues with compatibility (yet)
Thanks for vid cruelsister. PeAcE
*PS for any fellow gamer's out there that may plan on testing or installing this on your primary system, make sure you add to exclusions your game clients, and Punkbuster A & B, just a heads up.

They wouldn't need to combine Anti-Ransomware and Anti-Malware, Malwarebytes say Anti-Malware will prevent ransomware - not to sure about Anti-Exploit though...

If that's the case, then why develop the Malwarebytes anti-ransomware instead of focusing on MBAM with better features? Just curious...
Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware Beta | Wilders Security Forums
"However even with the above three layers there's still a chance that a ransomware might get through which (a) is delivered via social engineering, (b) not detected by MBAM rules and (c) contacting a C&C that's not blocked by the Web Blocker. For those cases MBARW is a proactive approach that will block ransomware without signatures or web blocking."

We can see that MAR (Anti Ransomware) provides partial blocking on the ransomware which consider as impractical, where once the file is executed then that's the time it will be detected.
Otherwise I see the effort which let it grow and for sure more features to be arrive in the future.

@CMLew I assume they know that more people are more likely to use a free product and not all people may wish to have a companion anti-malware

MBAM is going to add this (once complete) to Malwarebytes as a feature, it will "not" be a standalone. PeAcE

Nathan (Decrypterfixer) has said it will be rolled into MBAM: SO WHAT IS IT DOING? - Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware Beta - Malwarebytes Forum
This would mean one would have to run full MBAM in RT, unless MBAWRT becomes a separate selectable option in MBAM, and the current Malware Protection and/or Malicious Website Protections can remain unchecked.

... for those who want a suite. But allow for separate ad-hoc programs for those who don't (my preference).
nice review as always sister! indeed its a good effort from malwarebytes , but they need to improve ( but let's be forgiving here it is still in beta phase ) I also wish for this to be a stanalone product if I would choose to install the final release. A bit off topic , but maybe it is interesting to see how rollback rx would do against ransomeware

That said, I already have MBAM (RT disabled) and MBAE Premium liftetime licenses, so were some / all to become a suite, the AE and AR components should be selectable, as Malware Protection and Malicious Website Protection are now in MBAM.
