Miles ahead of Wordfence

I switched from Wordfence to Shield two weeks ago and am glad to have made the decision. I love the simplicity and usability of Shield’s backend design and the free features it has to offer, many of which are not available in any other mainstream security plugin.

It also eliminated the need for Akismet to monitor the comment sections, yet is much less bloated than Wordfence or Akismet while replacing both plugins.
