We depend on Astra everyday and we have close to a million users.

The people at Astra are amazing. They will manually review your site and what’s going on and help you if your site has malicious code on it, as well as send you the report of what all went on. The security is top notch. We had it tested by a military facility on Alabama and they couldn’t break through. Great product. Don’t miss out by any means.

PROS

It simple, straightforward and gets the job done. I wasn’t searching on how to onboard or how to add my site or what do I do next...none of that. It was done within minutes.

CONS

Nothing yet. Everything is pretty much as expected.

Reasons for switching to Astra Security

This was a better product by far and the customer support was amazing.

Horrible customer support

PROS

The software will run the audits and provide you with the information you need. Firewall works well.

CONS

I had to open a couple of tickets to get more information about the tests that are being done and I did not even get a reply.

Vendor Response

Dear Cristiano, This review comes as an absolute shocker as we consider customer support as our top priority. As you would see, we are replying to this review within 15 minutes of your posting it. I reviewed each & every conversation you had ever had with our team. I confirm that your tickets were not only replied but SOLVED within 24-hours! The first reply from us went within a few minutes and within a few hours your query was solved too. And this is the with ALL your 4-tickets you every opened with us! I would be happy to understand what caused you to write this review because we do not understand what went wrong here. We provided you replied + solutions for your questions within the support SLA that comes within your plan (rather very well within the SLA). This is disheartening to see, specially when we do not understand what went wrong.

Almost unbelievably good

After a site I work on became infected with malware, I was panicking and genuinely convinced we might have to roll back and lose considerable amounts of data. Astra's customer service was amazing - an immediately, friendly response, an affordable and easy signup and lightning fast cleanup of the site, followed by careful and attentive follow up service. They put my mind at at ease and made the whole experience easy - I couldn't recommend them more highly.

PROS

It's seamless, effective, affordable and backed by amazing customer support.

CONS

I honestly don't have anything negative to say!

Vendor Response

Thanks a lot, Mark. We understand how frustrating website not working can be and that too because of a hack. Glad that we could help you fix this quickly. You've been a great customer yourself, thank you :)

Best Web security firewall and malware scanner

Web security is hard. You see the cases, most popular companies got hacked some time or the other. Only way to win this and safeguard web is by having a good security solution in conjunction with very supportive and helpful team like Astra when needed.

PROS

- They have a great Firewall. Blocks no.of threats comparing to other similar software. - There dashboard is super easy to check stats and IP blacklisting /white listing features. - Super easy wordpress integration. - One of few web security solutions that support native php apps other than WordPress specific. - The supportTeam is very supportive when you want to get a hand

CONS

- Their malware on demand scanner is relatively new but keep improving day by day. - No Integration with Slack or Telegram for notifications

Great softwaree protecting my sites

The support is their best feature. These folks respond promptly to any issue and their follow-up is second to none.

PROS

Installation is so easy and the protection is rock-solid. Especially like the feature to block countries from accessing my website. Really cuts down on hacking attempts and spam.

CONS

Needs some more detailed reporting but that is in the works and probably out soon.

Security is there priority

I just feel my site is safer with Astra

PROS

Astra works from day 1. You can see exactly who and what is being blocked from your site. You can also set filters to block a range of IPs, Block country, Block foreign text characters, Block users etc.. I would recommend it without a doubt

CONS

Would like some tools inside of Wordpress for better control. You can only view the dashboard but it won't modify anything inside of your account. I have seen other security apps block, for example, people who enter a fake user name.

I gave them the go on monday and everything was done by tuesday afternoon. But even then they kept on monitoring and communicating with us.

Super easy & fast. Well above what I expected. Well done Astra.

PROS

Real people in real time answering emails or on chat make you feel like the service is well worth it and top notch. The astra team are all super helpful and fast working. Any queries are answered every time and they walk you through anything that is needed. Best of all if you say to them to just take care of things they do!

CONS

The dashboard needs some tweaking for ease of use in a few places but they are working on that already I am told. Still works foe however.

Simple to user and it work perfect

I'm using Astra Web Security for a while now and I got 16 licences with them, so I been using on most Worpdress website together as well in some project with Wordfence and it work very good. I like more because is more light and it use less resource of my server. What it make so special is for sure the support team that answer very quickly. I even wrote a review in italian about this amazing service (is in italian) : https://www.volpatodavide.com/recensione-astra-security/ but you can translate. Anyway I strong suggest Astra.

PROS

I like the simplicity of the installation process on Wordpress CMS, and the notification of each login attempt, the support with LIVE and REAL people not bot that always answer the some thing over and over, and I like the malware scan.

CONS

I would like to see some more details about the attack is made

Astra Security just works

The GUI is a little clunky, especially the WordPress plugin but the website is good enough to see what’s been going on. The biggest plus is that I really feel I can just trust this service to do as it says and get on with the website itself.

PROS

I was getting hacked more than I realised. This software service stopped the attacks dead and I now have visibility of exactly what goes on on my website in a simple to understand way. The customer support is brilliant and they are helpful.

CONS

It’s a little pricey but it certainly works. Quality costs money.

Reason for choosing Astra Security

Good reputation over competitors.

Astra - Web Security Done Right On All Aspects

Not only did I save money getting Astra, I've saved countless of hours ever since I've used Astra. Knowing that Astra is protecting my website, the time saved from continuously checking my website for malware can be put to other tasks that brings in revenue.

PROS

Astra has a powerful malware scanner that keeps malware out of my website. It is so easy to install in which you can set it and forget it. Also, it's one of the more affordable options out there for website security which makes it a no-brainer for anyone new wanting to get into protecting their website. Astra's support team is also very responsive. On their site within 30 seconds, you would be greeted with their customer support team in which you can ask any security-related issues you are facing. This proves that Astra takes their customers and their websites' security seriously which was what brought me to use Astra.

CONS

There is nothing I do not like about Astra. After 3 months, Astra is still going strong.

Simple and effective solution

Overall good experience. but poor client success. Great product but poor delivery on support

PROS

Easy to setup took 5-10min to configure and fully understand how things work. I love the daily reports and the opportunity to increase risk levels

CONS

Support is pretty mediocre - Slow responses, or responding to FAQ based questions which are irrelevant. I bought the software on promotion and they would not honor what was advertised.

Vendor Response

Hi Jared, Thank you for your kind words! We take support very seriously. Being in security we realize that support is the key. Based on your comment on support, I reviewed your only ticket with us and found the following: - Ticket raised by you at 1:08am - First reply & resolution from us: 1:22am - No reply from you after above The timezone is based on where our agent was and the query was solved within 14mins. Still, if you have any specific suggestion would like to know. - Naman

It's very easy to install and it is intuitive. I love the firewall and the malware removal plus you can block countries from visiting your site as well as whitelisting and blacklisting IP addresses. You just have to set it up and go it does all the rest!

PROS

I started getting emails that said my sites were unreachable so I contacted support and whitelisted all the IP addresses they gave me. This stopped it but just the other day on one of my sites it started up again so I will have to figure it out.

Increased security for my customer WP website

PROS

Really easy to use, simple, but effective. I had some website with continuing problems about hacking attempt, attempt to login (continuously) from some specific country - where the website does not have business/customers -, infected/corrupted WP files after hacking, etc. Astra helps me to correct, solve, and prevent all this. It has been able to fix issues on websites that continuously was hacked/restored/hacked/restore/etc. So a must-have on business website.

CONS

Sometimes installation process does not work as expected of the first scan not start. But their technical support is really fast and helped every time
