Comment on Get The Shield! Our WordPress Security Firewall Goes Pro by chris.
Great plugin, really fantastic.
Two things for me as a multi-site user.
I’d like a paid iControlWP / Shield option at a cost without Backup. I already have backup elsewhere and I think a second tier of pricing will bring more free users onto your books, than having to go the whole hog and pay for the backup too.
The other issue I’ve noticed cropping up since switching away from Akismet, Topsy blocker and another firewall is that my clients are starting to see more Contact Form based spam once again. It would be great if more could be done to mesh with Contact form 7 or WPForms Lite for example.
I honestly think the lower tier pricing option would bring in a huge set of paying customers that are currently being missed. It reminds me of the time that LogMeIn switched from their “free” option to the “Pro only” option and went from being the biggest remote admin business in the world, two third place in a week. Had they offered a simple “entry level” tier for small business, sparse use or home users they would have easily converted many many thousands of customers that they simple lost to Teamviewer and others overnight?
