What do you like best about SiteLock?

they seem to know their job sales does atleast , Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SiteLock?

their contracts,

their greediness , their cancellation policy in short , don't get involved to begin with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SiteLock:

simply don't , the contract you get into is something that in business does not work a year is a long time and there is no reason for this . their cancellation fee is ridiculous so put them away as a scam , they know their job but you simply give up the choice to work with the or not once your suckered in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SiteLock solving and how is that benefiting you?

when you sign with sitelock which hostgator is pushing you for you sign a total one sided contract that only benefits them .

their sales is smooth and promises the world , delivery not so much , they are very expensive and when you decide you want to cancel then agreement which you sign for a year ( which service today signs an agreement for a year?) you can cancel but that is a cancellation fee of 50% of your annual fee. so they took me for 6500 usd

you are not able to downgrade the amount of sites just increase. in short they are a scam , a company that offer you a one sided contract and are going for your money ,

stay away. is like a a marriage you cannot get out of . and there are better alternatives

What do you like best about SiteLock?

SiteLock really gives you peace of mind. Once you have it you don't have to worry about someone hacking into your site or plaguing it with malware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SiteLock?

It's a little confusing to set up, especially if you're not too technical savvy and don't have any technical people on your team. Onboarding could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SiteLock:

I'd advise to get someone to help you onboard SiteLock, either from their team or a consultant to make sure it's working properly. QA was difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SiteLock solving and how is that benefiting you?

Website security. We haven't had any issues since adopting SiteLock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SiteLock?

The customer service is outstandingly personal, detailed and efficient. Overall, I've received an excellent service. The control panel is very extensive and easy to navigate therefore making it extremely user friendly for us and our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SiteLock?

For the purpose of reselling, set-up within WHMCS was very long winded. I believe the 'Prevent' product should already come as a bundled option, rather than us bundling two products (11381 SCAN & 11383 WAF) together inside our WHMCS to provide 'Prevent' to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SiteLock solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are finding and resolving malware issues fast, preventing compromises and providing caching services through SiteLock Prevent to really speed up the loading times of our customers web sites. Our customers web sites have never been so fast and secure and they are very thankful for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SiteLock?

service provides some useful, albeit rudimentary, information on web site health Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SiteLock?

Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information.

When you sign on for the paid service, Sitelock:

1) hides (makes it difficult to find) the fact that they default auto-renew (you can't sign up without agreeing to have them automatically bill your credit card every year);

2) hides (makes it difficult to find) how to stop auto-renew:

a) you can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses;

b) you have to hunt their web site for a link (in extremely small font) to the page which contains instructions for cancelling;

c) when you get to that page, turns out it's the 5000+ word "Terms of Service" document which you have to scour to find the - get this - PHONE NUMBER - you then have to call and get put on hold (or if you like, they will call you back 3 days later.) Once you finally get through, you have to jump through a lot of security hoops.

All that just to cancel the service.

Their product may or may not be OK, but be forwarned that with Sitelock, it's not easy to get out once you're in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SiteLock?

However, it's pricey. What's more, I don't feel engaged in this service at all. Without having any control over the process, it sometimes feels like I am only paying for the logo on my site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
