Wordfence vs Sitelock?

So I have had a my fair share of hacks over my 15 years or so of doing this and for some reason have been too dumb to implement security measures, I have always just had weekly backups since its honestly easier than dealing with the hack itself (assuming our websites didn’t have any major changes that week)

Anyway, I’ve finally had an issue I that made me look into some preventative maintenance. I read the article and know some of the stuff and am taking action but am wondering about Wordfence and Sitelock, my server pushes sitelock for obvious reasons, but it seems like most people just use Wordfence.

Also is Wordfence something I need to constantly view or is it just like a firewall running in the background (I have ~15 sites)

Thanks for the help!
