A cost-effective choice for website security and informative support with issues related to CDN quality

One area where they could improve is in providing real-time support options because now you need to open a support ticket and wait for their response. It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance. I have found their Content Delivery Network service to be lacking in quality, and it could certainly be enhanced to provide better performance. I would also like to see improvements in the deployment process, as it currently takes more time than desirable. Another significant concern is that their service when your website is down, turns it into a static site. This means that if customers try to visit your site during downtime, they will see old content from the static site, which is not ideal. The CDN and tracking services are areas that need improvement, as well as addressing their bandwidth limitations.

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 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."

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

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

"The initial setup was very easy."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."

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

"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."

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