| Pros | File integrity scanner and audit logs in the free plugin; Two-factor login and hardening options; Remote SiteCheck scan included | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Firewall and brute-force protection need a paid subscription; Many screens and settings to review; Cloud features depend on Sucuri services | Hiding the URL is not a substitute for login rate limiting; Forgotten login URLs lock editors out until the plugin is disabled; Maintained without guaranteed free support |
