  • Amazing plugin, Amazing Support!

    We've been using and recommending Complianz to many of our clients, and it has consistently delivered. We recently faced an issue that gave us the opportunity to experience their support firsthand. Sahar from the support team patiently worked with us for nearly 18 - 20 days, ensuring the issue was fully resolved. The support is just as good as the plugin itself. Excellent product, backed by an equally excellent team. Highly recommended!

  • Apparently it does not offer a free version anymore

    Suddenly it started showing errors about the site having too many pages, more than 50 (when the sites have under 20 pages) or there is the other message "You have custom post types that are not covered by the free Website Scan" when nothing has changed in the sites.It seems they do not want to offer a free version of the plugin anymore. I guess, cause when I asked in the support forum, twice, nobody answered me.I would appreciate it if they messaged us that the plugin is not free anymore, instead of these stupid messages that suddenly discovered that a simple site of 10 pages and no much traffic is TOO big for the plugin. Uninstalled from all sites.

  • Does the Job, but ... oof.

    The core functionality is great, but the learning curve is high, considering what it is. Also all the help links within the plugin lead to 404 pages ?!?

  • Pain to configure and links that don't work

    First - the config "wizard" is complex - no problem, but a lot is pushing you to upgrade.Second - the "tasks" left to do in the dashboard one of the mor info links leads to a 404 error. Not a great reason to pay for a product,Third - 8 spams from Complianz to the admin email in 38 minutes ! This is NOT appreciated.Fourth - one of the "tasks" is to install another plugin - where is the chain of "add another plugin" going to end?Fifth - the wp site is in French and a task message is "You have a new feature! To enable the new and improved Website Scan you need to authenticate your website." OK, I don't have an issue reading English, but it shows a sloppy attitude to detail from Complianz. Plus it doesn't even say what the "new feature" is.Sorry, Complianz, but if you want users to go beyond trying your product it should speak for itself; not push the paid version; and not have basic errors. Oh and don't spam potential customers.

  • Terrible plugin to configure. The setup process never ends! Far too complicated

    An endless number of settings that are awful to deal with. Just when you think you’re almost done, another 999 screens appear with thousands of questions. If you miss a single one, it simply doesn’t work. The color customization is buggy. I spent three hours configuring a simple cookie notice!
