Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is integrated with AWS. So, it gives you a good first step.""The solution's ease of use is the most valuable feature.""The product has a good mechanism to analyze trends and trigger events.""I am impressed with the product's multiple features like security."

More AWS Shield Pros →

"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.""It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website.""The initial setup was very easy.""I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server.""The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization.""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."

Cons
"The product should give users more flexibility to customize their security policies according to their requirements.""The product is expensive.""The management of it is a bit hard. If you don't engineer it on the front side, it is hard to go back in and change it. It could be improved in terms of architecture requirements and then ongoing support requirements as a secondary component to it. People tend to set up things like this, and they just expect it to work without the care and feeding that needs to go back into it either from an application team or a network environment team.""We end up having to pay extra for features that AWS adds that we don't need."

More AWS Shield Cons →

"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance.""Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section.""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.""Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives.""In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It depends on your subscription level and the volume that you're spending with AWS. So, it is very relative to the consumption alignment in your subscription level. It is a well-constructed, scalable pricing option, but it is relative to how much you're spending on AWS. Because the more you spend, typically, the more you get off on services like this. I find it to be comparable to other solutions."
  • "The cost depends on traffic each month, so on average, it costs us between US$200 and US$300 per month."
  • "We pay $3000 per month for the solution."

  • "I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
  • "Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."
  • "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."

    Top Answer:The initial setup was very easy.
    Top Answer:The pricing is very reasonable. Sucuri offer other features as an add-on, such as backup, but these have an additional cost. We host the sites ourselves, so I don't take it because it was redundant.
    Top Answer: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. In future releases, perhaps Sucuri could… more »
