Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros It's simple, fast and rock solid. I'm old school admin so I like that green-blue-orange-red ideology. Of course price/quality ratio is superior :) Can't get any simpler than that. The entire platform designed for safety. And if a particular feature is not present, just look for it among the available addons. Cons Its one of a kind so there is a learning curve that you must walk trough before you can really use it. WebUI isn't always so practical and sometimes menu stops responding to mouse but that can be passed simply reloading the page. Nothing negative, everything perfect from the assistance system provided by the very present and active community.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Nothing as it does not block attacks the way it should. There is no customization beyond a kindergarten level yes-no type of setup. Looked cool as a WHM plugin. interface seemed easy enough. during the trial it seemed to play well with csf. Works well with cPanel and WHM servers for WAF, antivirus purposes. Clients appreciate added security. It implements Google's Recaptcha without having to deal with API keys. Includes Kernelcare, that does a good job keep your kernel upgraded without rebooting the server. Cons - not preventing smtp brute force attacks - just grey-listing even the worst attacks and no way to auto-blacklist - country blocks are outdated and don't get updated, thus massive attacks from China, Russia etc. - Literally ZERO support. There is a support request interface in the app, but that automatically goes to /dev/null. Pathetic. 1. Had presales questions and after a week NO ONE got back to me. 2. Since no one got back to me i decided to buy a license. IT HAS BEEN A DISASTER EVER SINCE. Works well with cPanel and WHM servers for WAF, antivirus purposes. Clients appreciate added security. It's very buggy. It's not smart, instead, to use it and tweak it well enough to be protected you need to be very smart and understand this poorly documented (or not documented at all) configuration options that are not part of the GUI. They keep adding realtime checks for everything without considering server resources. Documentation is often not understandable as it's clearly just translated from Russian to English using Google Translator and not checked.
