About Imunify360 is a security solution for web-hosting servers. Imunify360 goes beyond antivirus and WAF and is a combination of an Intrusion Prevention and Detection system, a Application Specific Web Application Firewall, Real-time Antivirus protection, a Network Firewall, and Patch Management components in one security suite. Imunify360 is a fully-automated solution and it collects all statistics under an intuitive dashboard.	About Our products provide your security systems with complete, uncompromising visibility into your network. You will find that this helps to keep pace with increasing network speed and complexity, while gaining the insight needed to better detect and contain breaches, and achieve a rapid recovery. By implementing Network Critical solutions you can improve your existing security system's network performance, therefore increasing your ROI. Firstly, SPAN ports. These have been a long-term, insufficient, solution to network security. It is remarkably easy for hackers to infiltrate routers, switches and entire networks without detection. SPAN does not provide access to real-time information either, which is another key issue that may greatly affect your network's security. This is because SPAN ports groom your data, unlike Network TAPs, that act as a window, where you can look through at any time, in real-time.

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smtp brute force attacks - just grey-listing even the worst attacks and no way to auto-blacklist - country blocks are outdated and don't get updated, thus massive attacks from China, Russia etc.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.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I don't know where to start. I have over 20 years of experience with Cisco, Juniper and Palo Alto firewalls. All are great in one way or another but have something that goes against them (complexity, cost or speed are the most obvious that come to mind). Along came WatchGuard and seriously their hardware checks every box! They are super fast and don't bog down for anything. They are by far the easiest to configure while lacking NOTHING in features. The most amazing thing though is their pricing which is the lowest of the bunch by far. Oh and 24/7 domestic support which has proven to be exceptional. WatchGuard helps business from being hacked and prevent data breaches. It shows the live status of business security. It allows to control geolocation traffic. Customer support is very helpful. Cons Honestly none. Seriously, none. Any roadblocks I have hit have been handled promptly by their tech support. Few times WatchGuard firewall blocks some genuine links also.
