What do you like best about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

First of all, please excuse my English, I'm French.

What I like best about this plugin is that it's so easy to use. I've had problems with spam blog posts on my website written by bots connecting to my website's WordPress backoffice. By installing Cerber, I was able to choose to close the open access doors. Being able to secure my site at the click of a button saved me a lot of time.

I also really like the fact that I can control active sessions. That's how I discovered where my spam articles were coming from... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

What I would have liked was for blocking by geographical location to be included in the free offer, but then I totally understand that it's important to make money in order to keep this plugin up to date and at the top of its game! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I said before, I was having problems with spam blog posts writing themselves. By installing Cerber I was able to identify the source, ban the IPs of the bots responsible and block the entry points to my site so that they wouldn't come back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

I think WP Cerber Security is one of the best security plugin for WordPress. I have been using the free version for 3 years and I am completely satisfied with the results. It prevents my website from malicious people trying to gain access to the admin, REST API or XMLRPC. It's always surprising to see how many hacks WP Cerber can stop every day. The anti-spam protection is very useful too to securise registration or comments forms.

And, more over, the plugin doesn't slow down the website like others do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

What do you like best about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

I am an entrepreneur, and I am constantly learning to be able to take my small business higher and higher with limited resources. That is why I wanted to design my own website, not being a programmer or designer. Unfortunately we learn by trial and error and that costs a lot of time and money. Not having knowledge and trying to save money, we do not care about the security of our site, where there are constantly malicious people wanting to damage your website. Thanks to Wp-Security where even with the free version, we have the possibility to protect our site. The only thing that would improve would be to have a practical configuration guide for beginners. This would save a lot of time and avoid mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

I had problems configuring the plugin on my website, since it blocked my access to WP-Admin and I couldn't figure out how to recover. I had to ask my hosting to uninstall the app for me.

That is why I consider it necessary to have a practical installation guide in several languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can keep my site secure, giving my customers the confidence to buy and stay on my site.

Also by allowing me to scan my site, I can quickly spot problems and fix them without affecting my site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

We installed Cerber security free version on a list of 18 sites to scan for viruses. We were surprised that it detected problems and unattended files that were missed by wordfence. We then recommended the pro version to our customers. The methodology that is based on integrity is awesome and self-updated automatically when you upload a new plugin. Controlling sessions is clear and easy. Reviewing users' activity is available. The option of scheduling (available in the pro version only) lets you scan the website every 1 hour automatically. The option of automatic cleaning is top-notch. At last: this plugin is worth its money if you want to secure a site that represents a real business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

The plugin is simple to use and safe enough for whom know a little bit, but it is preferred to be used only by developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan solving and how is that benefiting you?

The plugin is perfect in catching php malicious code, and unattended files in plugins, themes, and wordpress core. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

What I like most about Cerber Security is the efficiency with which it works and it doesn't load the web like several plugins that I don't want to mention. It has the most essential and useful functions for WordPress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

What I don't like about Cerber Security is that it doesn't have features like two-factor authentication, a more interactive and organized panel. At the moment, that's what I miss the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a non-profit NGO and we do not have enough budget to hire experts to perform these functions, so we were recommended Cerber Security and the truth is that it has helped us protect our websites and alerts us to fraudulent attempts that our website suffers and greatly facilitates the security task without affecting the performance of the website or the server. We currently have it installed on the following websites: alandalusia.education, instituto.alandalusia.education, alandalusia.org, donar.alandalusia.org, donate.alandalusia.org, and more personal websites...

What do you like best about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

We came from using WordFence and were finding that even with the paid plan, it was still allowing our client sites to be injected with Malware and causing us to have hours of work to restore, recover and update our client websites. Since changing to WP Cerber we have had no hacked sites, as it helps protect them better than we had experienced previously, we are also able to monitor and report to the clients about the potential attacks on their websites each month. The Dashboard is extensive and we find it very useful for our weekly maintenance and monitoring of the websites on our care. We are consistently recommending WP Cerber to our customer base as we transition all our clients websites away from WordFence and over to the much better Security Plugin for WordPress - WP Cerber. Highly recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan?

Well of course we all wish all the features were included in the FREE version of WP Cerber, but understandably you need to purchase the Professional version to unlock the best features, so while it is my least favourite part of WP Cerber, I accept that I have to pay for the awesome Plugin :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Are your client's WordPress websites vulnerable to malicious attackers? With WP Cerber, you can rest easy knowing that their sites are protected with the most robust security plugin available on WordPress. We switched from WordFence and have seen a dramatic reduction in malware attack attempts since leveraging this powerful solution - not only do we feel more secure about our customer's safety, but we also greatly appreciate being able to monitor activity on all of our websites through the comprehensive dashboard offered by WP Cerber! Our team highly recommends making the switch today for maximum protection against hackers and cybercriminals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
