Avoid at all costs
Avoid, its as simple as that. They terminated my "website security" account without any notice whatsoever, thus causing my website to be down for 24 hours whilst I moved to Cloudflare. I HAD TO CONTACT THEM TO GET A REASON WHY [the reason is invalid]. So far its 24 hours and I have only had 3 replies to a ticket, with each reply taking 8 hours despite me replying instantly. If you value your business, do NOT use Sucuri, do you really want to entrust your website uptime to a company who will disable it without any notice or reason?

Hi there,
While we cannot go into detail here, we are sorry that you violated our terms of service. You should have received an email stating such. Please note our ToS can be found here https://sucuri.net/terms/. In the ToS email that is sent, information is provided telling you how to change your A record back to your host. We apologize for the downtime of your site; however you did agree to the ToS upon sign up and stated that the site was not breaching it in anyway. Subsequently because you did break ToS, it forced us to remove the site from our servers as soon as that ToS breach was discovered.
Thank you,
-Sucuri

Horrible experience with Sucuri. Bordering Scam! Terrible support. Broke my website.
Bad and too slow support. The average response time is 12 hours.
Technicians are not knowledgeable and they are changing all the time. It is impossible to follow up properly.
Chat function: useless. I opened chat 3-4 times, and all they said was that I should reply to the ticket and I will be responded. They did not prioritize the ticket or something like that.
I could not get a refund in full, although on the website, it says "30 days free trial". They said if I ask for malware removal once, I lose $100 worth of refund. But this is nowhere mentioned, and one of the first things they do is repeatedly ask you to do a malware scan. Since I had no idea about the refund, I asked for it. My website was not hacked, and I did not really need to do it. So this is the part where you really feel like you are scammed.
They strongly recommend using their CDN, which has only a handful of global data servers. If I kept using Cloudflare CDN, there would be speed issues. So I felt like I had to do it. I am not sure if I was satisfied with it.
Upon my request to revert the changes and turn off their CDN and WAF, they immediately closed my account; without my confirmation, I had to request to re-open my account to be able to ask for technical support and delete all the files they placed on my website.
Even after so, we still keep discovering some messed-up security modes that keep showing 404 errors to my users.
The website had "0" sale days on the 7 out of 21 days Sucuri was active. The other days the sales are also very low too.
Long story short, they damaged my business; you must avoid it big time.

Sucuri is a terrible company to work…
Sucuri is a terrible company to work with. If you don't allow a automatic renewal they will do it anyway. Then they will leave their software on your website and URL freezing your account so you can't have your developer of host make changes. I found out they are owned by GO Daddy and I can see where they get their business attitude from.

Thank you for providing feedback regarding your experience with us.
We do sincerely apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding that may have occurred. Our records do indicate that our billing team reached out to you via email but we did not receive a response back from you. The response that was sent to you from our billing team provided you with the information that the account was unable to be closed until the DNS was changed. At this point in time, your site is still pointing to our WAF IP.
We would like to help resolve this situation, so please reach out and contact us via our web chat, through the dashboard inbox or emailing us at feedback@sucuri.net.

Scam software - don't install it
Purchased and implemented via GoDaddy and when it was decided to not renew Sucuri decided to prevent access to my website. Thought it was a scam, but apparently their software has to be removed manually. GoDaddy did remove it upon request only.

Slow customer support and bad UI
I regretfully only saw the current rating of sucuri on this site after I had purchased a plan and I can understand why.
Ticket support response is very slow, ranging from 2 hrs to more than 8 hours, which is odd considering their 24/7, 7 days a week service.
The UI is also weird. If you have an option to activate the dns manager, you should have an option to disable it, but instead, you have to send in ticket support to disable it so now you have to wait until they disable it for any problems to be resolved. Same goes for SSL certificate. You can add it but you can't delete it.
My suggestion is that if you cannot provide the actual quick 24/7 service you say you provide, please make it so that clients can have a little more control on their backend so we are not left waiting in the dark for problems to be resolved. Also, please improve ticket response time or better yet, live chat support.

No technical support and useless copy-and-paste replies. This service is riddled with technical glitches and the website scanning does not work. It does not scan my website. There are too many blockages and API issues and the whole thing is a huge mess and the support agents do not have the answers. Not recommended at all.

Saved me many times!
I have used this company for YEARS and I work with tons of different sites and they have saved us so many times. 98% of the time they respond quickly and if there are any infections or malware it's cleaned up in no time. I actually submitted a ticket today and the response was so quick I stopped and thought about how many times this company has saved me time by stepping in to deal with these issues, I decided to come here and write a review. Recommend!

Not the best...
Dealing with repeated hacking over several years. Tickets are generally very slow to progress as they will always start with level 1 technicians, who will send a boilerplate reply, perform an automated scan/malware cleanup (which may empty files important for your website without testing it doesn't break the site), then send another boilerplate response. It will take days, weeks, or months to get a resolution as you will sometimes be put up to the senior technicians (the ones who are actually professional security experts), but then put back down to one of the boilerplate replies when the issue happens again.
At one point, our site was hacked for 3 to 4 weeks straight, which is why I said "months". And repeatedly the issue has occured over years.
Many attackers will just go ahead and re-infect the site over and over again. Obviously if they were able to upload malware once and there are no changes blocking this access point, they'll just upload it again.
With their competitor SiteGuarding (premium plan with the premium ticket time which is I think 3 - 6 hours?), I sent a ticket and within less than an hour got a response informing me of the IP address of the attacker, the email they used to log into our site, and the files they had uploaded. A block was put on both the IP address and the email, and alterations made to the firewall to shut down that access point. LOL. If we sent this ticket to Sucuri it would be boilerplates and fail for days until a senior tech checks, but then the senior tech informs you they don't perform forensics to determine how an attack is happening, and they can't do anything but remove the backdoors etc. which as said means that the attacker can just get back in repeatedly.
In most cases, our web host was able to resolve a hack long before Sucuri.
The Sucuri scanner is decent. When it flags malware it does not automatically create a ticket though, you have to do that yourself. Their actual technicians who you are eventually escalated to (usually only after days of your site being hacked) are knowledgable and competent, but as said the scope of Sucuri will not capture the method of attack so they can only hunt down and remove obscure backdoors.

Very happy with the support received…
Very happy with the support received from Sucuri Security when our website was affected by Malware. They fixed the issue within a few hours and completed the setup to reduce the risks of future attacks. If you want your website to be found by customers it will at some point encounter Malware, so don't risk not having adequate security on your website. The free versions (from other suppliers) just didn't do the job for us. The peace of mind the extra security provides us is worth the price.

A great business decision
Six months ago, my dedicated server was brought to its knees by an aggressive malware attack.
I contacted Sucuri on a Sunday morning to see how they could help. My account was live that day and the Tech Support Team began configuring and cleaning my sites.
They thoroughly removed the malware from each of my sites then advised me on what I needed to do to improve security and performance. If I didn`t know how to do something, then coached me through it. Their online Tech Support is prompt, friendly and really know what they are doing.
Since then, we have been malware free, uptime of 100% and overall site performance is up.
Using the Sucuri Monitoring, Firewall and CDN service has been a great business decision for my company and clients.
