"Great Product to Keep Your Wordpress Website Secure"

5/5

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

We use this product on our own websites, we use it for clients and we recommend it across the board for WordPress security. So many people don't use anything to protect their WordPress websites and before you know it they're hacked and we're doing a malware cleanup. Cerber Security lets you prevent all of that by configuring a plugin. It just runs in the background and protects your website while you worry about other things. It's really easy to install and setup. It only takes a few minutes to integrate it into your website and then you're done. Their customer support is great and the price isn't unreasonable for the peace of mind and preventative protection it gives you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Honestly, not much. It can sometimes make your website a bit slow depending on your host and your configuration but all in all it's amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really Awesome Security"

5/5

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

Amazing security. Just the wp-login redirect to a hidden URL keeps the armatures at bay. I'm sure someone who really wants in can get in, but the ability to blacklist IPs or subnets of hacks who try the wp-login door is just one more example of the wall of protection wp Cerber puts around my site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Haven't found anything yet. There are a LOT of options, but use what you need. 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.

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

It's very important for my young online company to grow in a more securised environment. I want to add the GEO rules to my panel, but unfortunately it's not free... So I am going to buy the Pro version! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best cyber security plugins on WordPress!"

5/5

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.

"I think WPCerber is the best"

5/5

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

WB Cerber is a comprehensive solution for cyber defense for WordPress sites. The most exciting is the scheduled scans with automatic malware removal. The plugin is easy to use and to implement, and the customer support is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

No dislikes, but say some features need improvements, such as Rest API blocking as it sometimes causes failures of some widgets on the frontend. 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 very precise and helpful in recovering hacked sites, because of the very smart site integrity feature. Many benefits let you deprecate other plugins such as: security by user roles - changing login URL - smart anti-spam - smart IP blocking - session control - WP hardening - 2F authentication.

"What would I improve from WP-Cerber?"

3.5/5

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.

"It solved a disaster"

5/5

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.

"So far, I don't know any plugin for Wordpress better than Cerber Security."

4.5/5

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 website like several plugins I don't want to mention do. 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 it greatly facilitates our security work 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...
