Hello...I hope you can give me some insight on this issue.

I've recently purchased Admin Tools Pro for my Joomla site and my web host is now pushing for me to purchase a website firewall and a security file scanner/malware remover from SiteLock. My question is...with all the functionality Admin Tools offers....is purchasing additional services from SiteLock redundant and a waste of money or would purchasing their services and combining it with Admin Tools give me a robust level of security for my site.

Thanks in advance for your insight on this matter.

Hello,

usually combining multiple security products it's a bad idea, since they could start to interfere each other.
If you're happy with Admin Tools, there's no point on installing another extension.

Just for curiosity sake, what's the name of the hosting that's suggesting you to install SiteLock?

The host I'm using is Hostgator. However, let me clarify. There are two "SiteLocks". There is a joomla extension called SIteLock created by Joomla Showroom and then there is
a company called SIteLock which provides web security (sitelock.com) . I'm referring to Sitelock the company...not the extension. With that said...do you still think using SIteLock's (the company) WAF and malware scanner through Hostgator could create possible conflicts with Admin Tools.

Again...thanks for your input.

Admin Tools covers both of those functionality, so you really don't have to install of use them.
