Backup and restoration

Wordfence users, who rely on separate plugins for backups, find a better solution in WP Umbrella's GDPR-compliant backup system. Its lightweight, incremental backups are stored securely in the EU for 50 days and minimize server strain.

With flexible scheduling and one-click restores, WP Umbrella ensures effortless recovery for files, databases, and WooCommerce sites. Unlike Wordfence that focuses only on security, WP Umbrella provides complete backup protection integrated with your security monitoring.

Lighter incremental backups after initial full backup

*All features are included in WP Umbrella monthly package for $1.99 per site.

Maintenance

Wordfence only alerts you about outdated plugins. WP Umbrella is built to handle the full scope of WordPress maintenance. From a single dashboard, you can bulk update plugins, themes, and core files, clear cache automatically after updates, monitor uptime and response time, track Google PageSpeed, and keep a detailed activity log for every change.

Safe updates with visual regression testing are available for plugins to help you catch layout issues before they break your clients' websites. This comprehensive approach goes far beyond Wordfence's security-only focus.

Security

Wordfence relies on resource-heavy malware scanning and its application-level firewall, plus provides login protection and rate limiting. But WP Umbrella's Site Protect, powered by Patchstack, takes a lighter, more proactive approach.

Instead of waiting for malware to show up, it blocks known plugin and theme vulnerabilities before they're exploited. It also stops malicious IPs and locks down common weak points like XML-RPC, user enumeration, and readme access. WP Umbrella ties this into a unified dashboard where you can monitor vulnerabilities, SSL certificate and domain expiry, and PHP errors across all client websites.

Virtual patching

Downtime/uptime monitoring

Plugin, theme & core vulnerability monitoring

SSL certificate monitoring

PHP error monitoring

Flexible schedules for monitoring

Real-time alerts on Slack/email

*All features are included in WP Umbrella monthly package for $1.99 per site.

Client Maintenance Reports

Wordfence doesn't offer client reporting. WP Umbrella gives you everything you need to deliver clean, professional maintenance reports that actually make sense to clients. Add your own branding, choose which updates and metrics to include, and schedule automated PDF reports in the language of your choice.

With support for over 30 languages and optional Google Analytics integration, it's easy to create reports that feel tailored, clear, and client-ready without any manual work.
