Get up to 48 hours early protection against new vulnerabilities. Patchstack's highly custom protection rules are deployed on a per-site basis, mitigating vulnerable components without touching website code or affecting functionality. How does Patchstack work? As the world's largest WordPress vulnerability discloser, we combine cutting-edge security research with a hyper-targeted protection engine. Patchstack uses a connector plugin to gain visibility into WordPress sites. When a new vulnerability is discovered, Patchstack knows which connected websites are affected, and immediately deploys protection rules to only those affected sites. Each protection rule is specific to an individual vulnerability, and Patchstack has an inventory of 11,000+ such rules. Because of this, protection can be deployed with the smallest possible performance footprint, and with minimal risk of false positives. Who is Patchstack for? We provide our vulnerability mitigation service to known hosting companies like Digital Ocean, GoDaddy, Hostinger and more. Patchstack is easy to roll out for hundreds of thousands of sites without costly infrastructure changes. We also provide a SaaS platform for agencies to manage vulnerabilities across their clients' websites. Patchstack is also available for agencies via tools like WPUmbrella and SolidWP. * * * Seller [Patchstack](https://www.g2.com/sellers/patchstack) Discussions [Patchstack Community](https://www.g2.com/products/patchstack/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by Agnes Talalaev (Head Of Marketing at WebARX) Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Patchstack. ### Developer $79.00 25 site slots ### Enterprise Starting at $1,499.00 Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/patchstack/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![WordFence](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "WordFence") WordFence 4/5(62) ](https://www.g2.com/products/wordfence/reviews) [ ![Sucuri](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Sucuri") Sucuri 3.3/5(48) ](https://www.g2.com/products/sucuri/reviews) [ ![Cloudflare Application Security and Performance](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Cloudflare Application Security and Performance") Cloudflare Application Security and Performance 4.5/5(755) ](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudflare-application-security-and-performance/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/patchstack/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 14 real user reviews.

FP Fredy P. Co-Founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/7/2020 "Peace of mind on Autopilot!" 5/5 What do you like best about Patchstack? I like the simple setout and ready to use approach, there's no complicated configurations to make it work right away. It has a lot of features that make managing my websites a fast and easy task. Has a great firewall with lots of options to make it work the way we need (I left pretty much all as default and has been great), but it offers some rules to really control the security. It also provides a way to enable/disable as well as update and uninstall the installed extensions right from its dashboard, so if the website is acting up we can start troubleshooting from here. Customer support is great, once we had an issue that ended being a server configuration, and they help me solve it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Patchstack? The hourly uptime checkup has missed some issues when my websites are down (due to hosting issues), it is not related to WebARX but would be great to have a log of that as well. To compensate we implemented “better uptime” that has checkups as often as 30 seconds if required. These two work great together so is not a dislike more of a good to have option but not really required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Patchstack: It provides peace of mind knowing that they are taking care of the security on our websites, has way more features than what I know how to use, it should have plenty of features for more advanced users. And the most important to us, it requires little maintenance to keep it working properly while protecting our websites close to setting and forgetting. For all the benefits the pricing feels right, specially considering the annual plan, if you have lots of websites then it might get pricey but if the security for those websites is important I believe is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Patchstack solving and how is that benefiting you? All the security issues we had in the past have been gone since we started using it, so pretty much solved all our problems in that regards. The main benefit is I no longer need to check our main website to see if is still up and not hacked, our latest issues have been hosting related issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WebArx is a stupidly powerful WordPress Plugin that I think is better than WordFence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Patchstack? It can actually be too strong. If I'm not smart about fixing my redirects or lowering the firewall settings, it can turn off some of my pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Patchstack solving and how is that benefiting you? Website Security. It may be a one-trick pony, but it does it better than anyone else. You can download it right through the Plugins Menu, but if you sign up for an account you can also view the dashboard on their website in real-time. This is indispensable for someone who is managing multiple websites and needs to issue out security reports on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience using webarx I can say that the vast majority are moments that clearly show that it is one of the best tools to keep my website safe. All the activities of my website are being monitored, including POST, GET, upload, etc. So, I can see When something wrong happens on my website and I get a notification from the WebArx alarm. I love your control panel in which not only shows the constant monitoring of my website and that of my clients, but also vulnerabilities, uptime, blacklists and other important aspects.

Advertising Specialist Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/19/2019 "great tool to improve the security of your website" 5/5 What do you like best about Patchstack? 1. Security advises, they are quite simple to implement and help to improve the ability of a website to withstand attacks 2. Very nice to have uptime monitoring tool as well, so I don't need to use another app for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Patchstack? 1. They could add some instructions for their advice on security so it will be faster to implement them. 2. The scanner could be much more advanced (scan custom directories, try to apply SQL injections etc.) 3. They could add more alerting channels, email + Slack are not enough (in my opinion). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Patchstack: As it has free trial, you can sign up and see how their scanner will work with your website set up. If you will see it is helpful, you may continue using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Patchstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

NK Ng Fang K. Business Owner E-Learning Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/4/2019 "Impressive Web Application Firewall and Web Monitoring product" 5/5 What do you like best about Patchstack? I have been tested with many premium WordPress security products in the market, WebArx is one of the product that I'll highly recommend if you care about WordPress security. High Transparency and Impressive Monitor feature with WAF When we want our home with high security, we will install a CCTV on our home with 360° no dead angle monitoring, sensors and alarm to get alert. In website, we may need these features. We all know about security, but we can't 24 hours monitor our website. We all are human, we will have to sleep, rest and working. Hiring a specific engineer to look at all of this is not cost efficient, but if you setup automate solution with WebArx that will be a difference story. The WebArx give us the value is we need not to care about this, all the activities in a website is being monitored including the POST, GET, upload or etc requests. They will have the sensors and CCTV all around the corner. So, you will able see malicious all the activities on your website. When something wrong in your website, you will get notify by the WebArx alarm. Cool right? Many security plugins doing pretty well, but you will never know what's happening behind your house. With WebArx, you can see what attacker trying to inject on your website. Using this product, they give us transparency and we will know all the activities. Not just this, they will also doing secure code review and analysis on most of the popular WordPress plugins! It's really impressive! I could see the product is getting better and better! P/S: I'm a WordPress and Kali Linux user for many years, I do highly concern about Cyber security. I have even test it with OWASP attack on my own website to verify is this working during my first month with this product. But, this one works great. I would say this is one the greatest WordPress security solution I'll highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Patchstack? The uptime monitoring features are 1 hour interval in Feb 2019. Hope to see some improvement here! File and Database scanning is not available. But they do all the activities monitored, so any malware coming in will log down. Just look back on look, they can quickly find out the malware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Patchstack solving and how is that benefiting you? The unique selling point of this company is outstanding, they covered the OWASP that many WordPress security plugin doesn't cover. They automate the process of hardening security. You will spend less time worry about how to set up all the sensors around 360° no dead angle monitoring and have more time to do your things.
