| Pros | Records who changed what, when and from which IP; Session management and log mirroring to external systems; HTML and CSV reports plus email, SMS and Slack alerts | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Paid licence needed for the Premium features and updates; Logs activity but does not block attacks | 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 |
