User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate Patchstack for its user-friendly interface, robust firewall, and comprehensive security features, including vulnerability scanning, activity logs, and two-factor authentication. The plugin helps streamline the management of multiple websites via a central dashboard, saving users significant time. Customers commend the responsive and helpful support team and the proactive email notifications about security threats. However, some drawbacks include skepticism around the authenticity of reviews, absence of a demo version, occasional issues with country blocking/IP whitelisting features, and some users finding the support response slower than expected. Despite these concerns, Patchstack is generally considered a valuable investment for maintaining website security.

I added Patchstack to my blogs two weeks ago. It was relatively easy to configure and use. So far, has worked without problems or conflicts. I have received several emails from Patchstack, one of which included suggestions for further hardening my sites’ security. Thanks for the suggestions and thanks for Patchstack!

Nothing beats PatchStack in terms of added value and it’s already saved me hours of potential pain.

lets you stay cool when attacks are nocking on your wordpress site. Does not slow down the site as other plugins do.

I’ve been using Patchstack to keep my websites safe since 2018 (back when it was called WebARX). Their firewall is solid and keeps everything secure. Plus, it comes with handy features like activity logs, user management, plugin updates, and even two-factor authentication for logins. Patchstack really saves me a ton of time since I can manage all my sites from their awesome dashboard. Honestly, this has been the best purchase I’ve made for my tech stack. I can’t recommend them enough. Fantastic product with quick and friendly support. Thanks, Patchstack!

Been using Patchstack since 2018 (when it was named differently), peace of mind for almost 6 years.As far as I know I haven’t had any security issues on the websites where I have it installed and the dashboard is really helpful at identifying/notifying what needs immediate attention. There’s a lot of activity being blocked on the back end including some banned IPs, no clue about this just glad is being taken care of.
