I tried the free version for approximately one year. After which I was more that satisfied so, attempted to try out the Pro shield version. I was so impressed with the Pro, I purchased it for all five websites.

I found shield pro to be very easy to setup & operate, even for a novice like me. The platform uses colour codes to clarify where vulnerability lies within your site thus,indicates where you need to buckle-up to reduce vulnerability.

Further, I found customer support to be an excellent service since, was not sure about a few things thus, got an instant reply even on Weekends.

I would advise all new comers on WordPress to have this essential piece of platform as it is very easy to manage & function, with excellent support.
