Simple solution and good WAF

Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section. Users get errors or EBAs, and if they want to read about it, they need to find it in the help section of the site. It would be more helpful to allow users to see more information and tips immediately from within the alert.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product’s most valuable is WAF. The authentication feature helps us protect WordPress sites."

"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."

"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."

"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."

Cons

"The product’s performance for caching feature needs improvement."

"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."

"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."

"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."

"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."

"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."

"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."

"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."

"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."

"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."

"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Sucuri?

The pricing is very reasonable. Sucuri offer other features as an add-on, such as backup, but these have an additional cost. We host the sites ourselves, so I don't take it because it was redundant.
