5/5

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

The basic setup is understandable and feasible even for laymen. After that, the program works independently. I only have a weekly report sent to me by e-mail. Sometimes I look at the activity list and I am amazed at how many attacks Cerber Security has blocked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some IT terms I don't understand, but that's not really Cerber's fault. Maybe short info texts would be helpful. Especially with the reports. A big problem is the price of Cerber Security. The cost of the professional version is relatively high Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Saved my sanity from a bot."

5/5

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

I only have the free version at this time, but this plugin was exactly what I needed. I was able to enable recapture easily and make it very hard for the bot to keep making the same order a second after I cancel the last. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

"Exactly what I was looking for"

5/5

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

I have been searching for a plugin to help me secure my website and finally get rid of the ico malware injection. This has helped immensely. Everything else I was finding was $250+ I am a photographer and spending a ton on web security was just not really in my game plan. This has been easy enough for me to use and understand, and powerful enough to find the malware and close the holes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have not yet found a downside. If I do, I will edit my review. I am only moderately techie, so ease of use and reliable is most important to me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid product for security"

5/5

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

Probably the best tool for Wordpress and Woocommerce. The security tools are great, it's relatively easy to deploy, and it seems like a good value, the price is very good. The Form Protection to block malicious activities and Malware Scanner, protects sites against intrusions. The real-time metrics are beneficial. The provided data and information is very useful for non-tech people, so we recommend Cerber to all our clients who have small or big eCommerce websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There was nothing I didn't like about that product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
