Feeling Confident!

Being one of those that will research a product for days on end before making a commitment, whether an install from the .org repo or a purchase. I can’t say I found any negative reviews about Ninja FW and after viewing the benchmarks and these reviews I decided to purchase the Pro version from the start.

So far so good.

I’m using an AWS Nginx WordPress stack by Anomito, which is excellent by the way. The way they automate a WP setup creates a wp-config file slightly different to the standard file in how it defines the database connection. This conflicted with the install so I’d made a support request. Not long after I had a member of the team identifying the problem mentioned above and providing a solution.

I was up and running in 10 minutes.

So this review mainly focuses on the simple config once up and running and the excellent support received so far.

I’ll add an update about the effectivness of this plugin after the website is launched and I’ve gathered some data.

I’ll also be using Ninja FW alongside WordFence, if you are considering this it’s worth reading the support requests below as well prior to install.
