"More security and confidence than Wordfense"

4/5

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

I compared WP Cerber with Wordfense for a month and came to the conclusion that WP Cerber was better.

1. Confidence: Found more security issues than Wordfense and fixed them.

2. Security: Blocked malware and spam comments better.

3. Detail: Specific information on what WP Cerber blocked for protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ease of use: a little complicated on setting (that could also mean allowing more flexible setting)

I also assume WP Cerber might block thumbnails when I share my website on social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best free protection you can have"

5/5

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

The standard parameters work well, although there will be things you want to change, such as making permanent the blocks that are obvious hacking attempts.

Even though I use it in combination with other plugins, it seems to me that WP Cerber is the best free protection you can have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Unfortunately, if you have several websites, the price scales very quickly. I'm not saying it's not worth it, on the contrary, but in my case, several sites I manage are non-profit and it becomes difficult to cover a lot of money for this concept, which adds to all the others (hosting, domains, administration, templates, plugins, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was looking for a lightweight and powerful security plugin for my client's e-commerce site. My friend recommended wpcerber. I tried it & I am satisfied with the result. It blocked various attacks instantly. It protects all the form submission such as checkout, search field and newsletter form from bad bots. This security plugin did not slow down my client's site.

It also has user friendly dashboard so my team can easily optimize the setting. And I plan to upgrade for the premium license because it has automatic malware and virus removal. This feature is very important for e-commerce site. I hope the company will keep its protection quality to make our sites safe from any modern attacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great security plugin for beginner and expert"

4/5

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

Starting with the spam protection which is working really well I was surprised how easy it was to set up.

The scan sounds also really promising, I like the feature to check for changes in files and get informed if it happens. The recommended settings are also a really good help especially if someone is not really a security or tech guy. But for my self I also like the advanced features to get the most out of this great plugin.

I feel my website is already way more secure just with the free features. For sure it's one of the best security plugins out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

So far there's nothing i don't like. Maybe the fact that it's a little pricy but it's overall an awesome tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Under-rated Over Achiever"

5/5

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

This plugin is really good - it has a lot of features that all of the "big dogs" of wordpress security offer - and it is easier to set up and use! The free version is much better than the other guys free plugins and much easier to set up. The recommended settings make it super quick to secure your wordpress site and its a lot better once you go through the settings with a fine tooth comb to really dial it all in. I think this is one of the best security plugins that i have tried, and I have tried THEM ALL!!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There is not much that I dislike about this plugin, it has all of the features i was looking for in a security plugin and more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cerber is the dog you want on the front lines of your CyberSecurity fight!"

5/5

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

Dashboard. Provides clear, concise metrics up front.

I also like to see the real-time metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. I would like to see the Spam comments that were blocked. It would be helpful if there was a link to see that log, just for review to ensure the comments are actually Spam.

2. I don't like the limited features in the free version. Compared to another plugin for my WordPress site (WordFence), which provides a clear explanation of problems, including corruptions or errors with other plugins. Wordfence provides the code language for each error that I can send straight to my developers. here's an example of the data error that Wordfence provides: Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan:

Highly recommend trying it out. I'm only using the Free version. The Pro might be better but it's a little expensive compared to other free Plugins for WordPress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Anti-spam with Cerber is the biggest advantage. That feature saves me lots of time when I would otherwise need to sort & filter comments posted or sent to my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best security plugins for Wordpress"

4.5/5

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

The installation was quick and without any issues, as it should be. Afterwards you familiarize yourself with a well structured "Getting started Guide" and more information right at hand. The information provided makes all the available security measures accessible even for non-techie people. After I spent ~20 minutes everything was setup properly and is protecting my site flawlessly. Changed login URL and few other "standards" hardened my Wordpress site effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The advertising on the right always attracts my eyes and the German translation is sometimes bit strange. Other than that it does what it should, keeps my site up and secure. I would expect bit more explaining information about the Anti-Spam Protection options as this doesn't become really clear what if and how. Up until now I didn't get any spam comments with the free version but maybe this changes with more traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan:

After using the free version for a while I found out, that I don't need any reCaptcha stuff or any other additional security plugins. This keeps my site fast and clean and as an EU-citizen I also get rid of additional cookies forcing me to have a lot of switches for my cookie consent. Summarized I can say, free version covers 95% of all needs, if you need more or just want to have the pro features due to more traffic (=exposure) it is still worth the money for not having any legal or uptime headache. I tested it against Sucuri, Wordfence, iThemes Security and as stated above, this was the most convenient solution and I don't need any extensions on top. Pricewise a recommendation as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Even the free version gives you enough insights to understand how important it is to secure the own Wordpress installation. I have a lot of actions blocked and this makes me feel much better every day working on my site. I use the Genesis framework along with Imagely Themes and all my plugins work seamlessly together, WP Cerber perfectly fits in without giving me any annoying moments of instabilities etc. And I can see that it's preventing 10-20 scans from various destinations per day.
