WP Cerber Security

WP Cerber Security is okay

Pros

What I liked most were the login limits notifications and the vulnerability scanning.

Cons

The cost is what I liked least about WP Cerber Security.

website security has been improved!

Pros

I switched from Big Commerce and did not need to worry about website security. The plans were becoming too expensive so I chose to use WooCommerce. However my website is under constant attack. Recently a bot was able to find vulnerabilities on my website and started creating hundreds of fake orders. I used Cerber Security to blacklist the IP address where the attack originated and the fake orders stopped. Cerber was able to help protect my site and offers helpful features.

Cons

The annual fee of $99 seems high. I believe $49 per year would be a more reasonable price.

Solution for customers who like to borrow login

Pros

I liked it a lot mainly because I could limit customers from sharing logins with others allowing us to check the IPs from where they were accessed to identify fraud.

Cons

There is a lot to figure out which can be overwhelming but it is all for your protection.

Efficient plug-in

Pros

Cerber is a powerful and comprehensive plugin.

Cons

I use Cerber to secure my sites and since upgrading to the pro version I have never had any security concerns or attacks.

My 3 years use experience

Pros

It serves as an easy one-stop tool for maintaining a secure site.

Cons

This is comprehensive software that gives you control over your site but it requires various levels of expertise to configure it.

A serious WP security plugin

Pros

The product is well designed and quite easy to configure. Many useful options assist in setting the security level.

Cons

The Security Scanner frequently returns a "Suspicious Code Found" message for almost all WP plugins. In this case it is unclear if WP Cerber will be able to prevent such a critical issue.

Does a great job stopping hacking

Pros

I love the ability to move wp contents block wp-admin.php wp-login.php and set up customizations for all of that.

Cons

The vulnerability scan seems to produce many false positives but it has identified files that should not be present.

WP Cerber is nice

Pros

The product is user friendly safe and works effectively for me.

Cons

There is not a feature that I dislike at this moment.

Simple yet effective.

Pros

From locking out annoying automated bots from trying to access your backend to one-click hardening and a never-ending list of secure options Cerber is a simple yet intuitive addon that we never knew we needed. Its seamless integration with several of our websites allows us to launch and forget knowing that everything is continuously running as intended. It is now among the top five programs we will add to any future or current WordPress structured websites we launch.

Cons

The simplicity of the software sometimes leads to overlooking the need to turn off constant reminders. With so many lockouts occurring even our dedicated security mailbox struggled to handle the influx of emails being sent out. Thankfully after checking a couple of boxes this issue was resolved though it took us a while to get there.

We are non-technical

Pros

About three months ago I had the unfortunate experience of our site being attacked by hackers who inundated the main files with a virus leading to the site being taken down by our hosting company. I sought their help but they could only refer me to a third party that would charge a significant amount. We are a small association of non-technical professionals who pay an annual fee for the site's upkeep and administration and do not have enough funds for exorbitant prices. I considered various solutions that would clean the infected area including WP Cerber Security. Attracted by their website information and the offer of a free version that seemed to provide more than most competitors it was an easy alternative for me. I ran the scan and followed the instructions to clean the compromised files. I have continued to keep the free plugin active and check almost daily to see how it prevents further malicious activity. I am so impressed with the software that I have recommended our members upgrade from the free version to the pro version for added peace of mind and security. It is a no-brainer and I can confidently recommend it to anyone seeking a solution.

Cons

The scan takes a long time to complete which is not necessarily negative but can be a bit frustrating when busy. Also adding a site to the safe listing can be somewhat confusing to carry out correctly.
