### "WP Cerber Security provides extreme value "

March 30, 2020

5.0

After almost a year of use we find this service extremely vital to maintaining our website and WordPress install safe! We have tested and have solved some issues that were protected by WP Cerber Security from the get-go.

Pros

Integration into our WordPress site was easy and seamless. It starts working right away! The features in the basic service are amazing and after stable use we were confident to move forward and purchase a subscription. We also appreciate that WP Cerber Security was not pushy in their sales. They let the service speak for itself and sell itself.

Cons

Integration into our business was not hard at all. There hasn't been anything we do not like about the service thusfar.

### "WP Cerber Security on a members website for educational resources"

May 20, 2020

5.0

It is imperative to have a secure website when dealing with student data. WP Cerber Security provides more peace of mind.

Pros

With the limited number of users accessing the website daily I can easily track who logged in and when. Ip addresses are easily whitelisted and blacklisted and malicious attempts on the website are automatically blocked. The free version of the software gets you well underway with good security.

Cons

There is ample settings to go through, and it might feel too detailed for the average Wordpress user. However, all the recommended settings work well enough and there is the possibility of enhancing the security of your website to your needs as one understands and explores new security features even with the free version.

### "Best Security Plugin for Wordpress"

April 2, 2020

5.0

The setting was not difficult but I had to followed the « getting stat » explanation… It takes some time to follow all steps. The good thing is that it gave me the opportunity to better understand what I am enabling. The free version is the best ever security plugins I found (I have used many). I will definitely choose Cerber Security when I will switch to a Paid Security plugin.

Pros

There are tons of security plugins for WP, but WP Cerber Security is the only one that offer so many setting for free. It makes it much better than other options. I like very much the custom login page, antispam protection, restricted access to API, and the Two-Factor Authentication.

Cons

I would have appreciate if explanation were translated in French.

### "La mejor proteccion gratuita que puedes obtener"

August 6, 2020

5.0

Best free security plugin for Wordpress.

Pros

Easy of installation and use. The default parameters work well almost all the time.

Cons

Price. If you need to use premium features on non-profit websites, the price, added to other payments (hosting, plugins, support, etc) becomes unnafordable.

### "Excellent Solution "

November 17, 2020

5.0

As mentioned above i was trying to recover a site from a recent hack and the software has really helped in saving time and fustration

Pros

After suffering from a recently hacked saite i was made aware of the paid version of this plugin and was drawn by the ability of removing the malicious files after the scan. The first time i had this issue i spent hours trawling my cpanel account removing all the affected files so this has saved me hours

Cons

The only real negative is the time it takes to scan but i had to carry out full scans so this will have impacted the length of time it took

Reason for choosing WP Cerber Security

I was made aware of the paid option via the free plugin so i would credit the free plugin as my main reason for purchasing the annual subscription

### "Simple and Powerful"

October 13, 2019

5.0

I'm running a site which that is made up crowdsourcing information. And I'm running ads and Adwords for people to find the site. The problem I had, which I was not aware of was that I had malicious code due to testing random Wordpress plugins. With the help of Cerber Security I found these and managed to get clear of them.

Pros

When installed it took really short time before I could start making use of it Translation to my language was really good Well made user interface Tells me what is wrong so I can take action

Cons

Haven't really found anything yet. Perhaps that I can't clean with the free version

Reason for choosing WP Cerber Security

I liked how the complete experience of the product more than the other I tested. And I can can make us of it much easier right from the start.

### "A serious WP security plugin"

April 26, 2022

5.0

We are happy to have such plugin to maintain a high security level on our main website. We will certainly deploy WP Cerber on other websites that we are managing.

Pros

The product is well design and quite easy to configure. Many useful options help to set up the security level.

Cons

The Security Scanner returns Suspicious Code Found message for almost all the WP plugins. In this case, it is not clear if WP Cerber will be able to prevent from such critical issue.

Response from Cerber Tech

Thanks for your review! The speed and response time of the admin interface will definitely be improved soon. Our main goal is to maximize the front-end performance to reduce the web server load while maintaining the compromise between the website speed and the admin interface's performance.

### "Lightweight & Powerful Security Plugin For WordPress"

August 13, 2020

5.0

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.

Pros

Form Protection (Anti Spam), Block malicious activities, Dasboard, Lightweight

Cons

Currently I do not have something least on the software

Reason for choosing WP Cerber Security

Recommendation from my friend.

### "Overall a great product"

September 7, 2020

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Cons

The ease of use...some are a little complicated

June 4, 2021

A simple and easy to use it. Once you touch it, you will be happy.

Pros

I do not have such words to express brilliantly. This is made for me. It helps me a lot and saves my time.

Cons

Sometimes it blocks a number of pages. So, ease to use as well. But I have no such comments to dislike it.
