Support is Phenomenal
Shield is packed with excellent features that allow me to adapt the protection to make it most suited to how the site is used. The settings are so well laid out and explained that I learned a lot from installing it and feel more confident about the decisions I’ve made and the protection the plugin is providing.
I’ve now switched all my sites to Shield and since then there have been multiple occasions that I’ve appreciated the fact that I did – for example, it has identified files for removal that other security plugins weren’t finding
Support is phenomenal, too. Questions are answered promptly with huge willingness, and feature requests are quickly taken on board.
Not only do I know that sites are in safe hands when using Shield, but site owners are really cared for too.

I had numerous attacks on one of my sites, thousands of strange coded page requests and efforts to break in.
(It looked like China and Ukraine hackers have joined forces to hack into this lousy blog).
I have installed the plugin and the page requests and strange activity decreased totally.
The interface is simple (for a non tech guy like me) and is explained in simple English and not in programmers code jargon.
Everything now works great and I feel more secure.
The best part is that on the other side of this plugin there are REAL PEOPLE I could communicate with.

Provides a lot of great features for free. No noticeable performance degradation. Key features are free. Paid license seems to just support creators and gives bonus features. 10/10

We’ve tried different solutions (even 3rd party shit)but none worked as smooth as this one. For sure we didn’t used all the features but the fact that allowed to managed blacklisted IPs and see where are some weird visitors come from including other stuff made me share the feedback!
Just give it try and you’ll have no reason to stop using it (at least till today) 🙂

This is my experience:
I have used Wordfence Security almost from its beginning on all of my websites. It worked perfectly until a few months ago. From lightweight plugin that turns into a monster. Plugin wants to write to the WP installation, even on the server side in php.ini. With the firewall I have only headache. Plugin slows website. Not suitable for migration. Does not work well with Beaver Builder plugin. Very disappointed. So, I finally removed this plugin.
Shield WordPress Security is a completely different story.
Lightweight. Easy to set up, with useful explanations. Working great. It does not write anything and anywhere. This is a standalone plugin. Do not do anything I do not want to. Premium features for free.
This is not make-up. This is a bunker. I feel guarded and protected. Amazing plugin!
