Survey Snapshot

What customers told us

The survey results show a customer base that values protection, cleanup, support, and peace of mind, but also wants clearer visibility, stronger reporting, and more proactive security capabilities.

01

Customers want security they can understand and act on

Security Analytics / Reporting and Vulnerability Scanning were the strongest areas of feature interest, each selected by 43.1% of respondents. Vulnerability Patching followed at 37.3%.

These results suggest that customers are not only looking for help after something goes wrong. They also want better ways to identify risk, understand what needs attention, and reduce the chance of future security incidents.

02

The firewall remains a major value driver

When customers were asked which Sucuri features or products they value most, 52.9% of open-ended responses mentioned the firewall, WAF, traffic filtering, geo-blocking, IP allowlisting/blocking, or reduced bot traffic.

Customers repeatedly connected the firewall to protection, fewer attacks, less unwanted traffic, and greater confidence in day-to-day website security.

03

Small teams need practical security

A total of 92.2% of respondents represented freelancers, solo professionals, or organizations with 50 employees or fewer.

This matters because many customers manage website security without a dedicated security department. They need protection that works, reporting that is clear, and guidance that helps them make decisions without requiring deep security expertise.

Customers also mentioned dashboard usability, reporting clarity, documentation, analytics, pricing flexibility, or cache or proxy controls.

Why This Report Matters

Website security needs to be visible, understandable, and ongoing

Sucuri
  • Security is not only about responding after a website has been hacked. It also involves monitoring, prevention, reporting, support, and clear communication.

  • The survey points to a practical opportunity: customers trust Sucuri to help protect their websites, but they also want that protection to be easier to see, understand, and explain.

  • For website owners, agencies, freelancers, and small teams, that clarity can make security easier to manage, easier to justify, and easier to connect to real website outcomes.
