Pros

“Wordfence offers very reliable security for your Wordpress sites. Since the free version is usually enough for most Wordpress sites, that is a plus.”

Collis C.

“It's easy to use and provides various ways to completely prohibit website attacks like filtering IPs, brute-forcing, and Filtering by countries, and offers additional security grids for website administrators (2FA and backup codes).”

“It gives you peace of mind that your website is protected from external attacks and the alerts will always notify you if something unusual is taking place. If you need to interrogate traffic further it is simple to do so and it is possible to add rules to create an extra security level which has helped us prevent bot attacks through our donation/payment system.”

“Getting a gateway means you'll have a static IP for all of your VPN users, making it easy to poke holes in your firewall/add IPs to your cloud allowlists to get your users connected to your assets securely.”

Cons

“It's not a perfect solution and you have to pay $100 per year for full protection.”

“Even with the 25% discount when we buy more than 15 licenses, it is still expensive for the smaller clients.”

Cons

“pricing is a little high, I heard from staff they sometimes get kicked out of VPN”
GS

Greg S.

President

“It's annoying to keep having to connect each time and there is a bit of a slowdown in data on smartphone, but it's a "con" that I will live with in order to have the security I want.”
