I already use OSE Security Suite for some years. The product works fine and protects all my Joomla sites.
With the support of the OSE team I clould install OSE Security Suite on my server. Now every new Joomla site on the server is protected with a minimum of effort.
The only thing I would like is that the updates or new versions are more easy to install.

I purchased this product 3 days ago. I had to use the support straight away, because I had some problems with installing the software. I have to say, the support is amazing. I've never experienced this in my entire life. Fast, friendly and no "I guess it could be this, try this...." emails backwards and forwards, they really looked into the problem and solved it straight away.
I bought this product, because my web page got hacked. I'll post another review when I have more experience with the product itself.

My website was hacked due to vulnareable components. I removed the hacks myself, but didn't remove the vulnareable components. Bought and installed OSE-Anti-hacker. Then I received lot's of OSE hacker hack-attack-attempt warnings, but my website was not hacked again. Protected!
Now I removed vulnareable components, got my website cleared bij OSE and am happy again!

I'm compelled to write a review about how good the OSE! Support team is and their products.
I've installed OSE Anti-Hacker on my site, and had a few critical issues that were solved in no time (less than an hour) by the support team! They are not only incredibly fast, but also very efficient! Highly recommended.

This is my first review, but this is the most brilliant component I've ever seen.
I used videos for the previous version to install and it was easy. Took less than 30 minutes to setup and test. I've had a few questions and someone ALWAYS gets back - fast. Having a security team at your fingertips is business critical. You could go and pay for a web-based scanner from a big corporate but SEO Security Suite is for the back end of Joomla, so to me it's tougher to crack, your own custom security locks. It's the last piece in the cost puzzle before we deploy our main site, and now I can sleep at night. I anticipate that OSE are one of those small companies now ... but they won't stay that way with quality work and service like they have. Buy this component.

This is definitely one of the "must have" Joomla extensions! A great program, that has become much better and user-friendlier since one year ago that I've started using it.
I have first installed it on a website that got hacked 3 times, and took the whole server down with it... But the very website is still running version 2 of this extension, with no further problems. Just reports of failed hacking attacks.
I do recommend this, especially because they have a great quick and effective support. Don't worry if you can't install the program, they REALLY help.

If you have ever had your site hacked then this product is the answer. I was dealing with hacking on two client sites. It was relentless. I tried several products and hackers kept getting through. The OSE Anti-hacker was the only one that stopped all hacking attempts cold so I could get back to developing the site and not spinning my wheels defending it from intrusions. It’s been over a year now since installing and although attempts to compromise the websites happen every day not one has succeeded. The technical support team at OSE is responsive and informative as well.
Right now I'm using this extension for a local government office to protect against crazies that want to hack gov sites. It's working perfectly, I love the dashboard which shows all the recent activity.
My php settings were blocking the install and I needed help, so I submitted a ticket to their support team, who responded INSTANTLY with the perfect answer to solve my problem. You can't ask for more than that.
In my opinion, quality protection software should not be free, I don't mind paying for peace of mind.

On the Internet, security is always a concern. For that reason, this extension is very important and necessary for any website alive on the net. Not only the OSE team present a good service for their costumers but only they have very friendly and good support and more than even they do more than their responsibility,
When i was new in Joomla, i did not care about security enough so my website hacked and i lost 6 months my time. After that, by help of OSE team i had not any problem until now.
Thanks again and do not give up.

Like many people I took a reactive approach to J! security after having my websites hacked.
I decided on this product after seeing the great reviews.
I have to say I've been extremely impressed with the customer service recieved.
I had some issues installing (my mistakes rather than the product), and Helix was quick to respond and help me sort out, going above and beyond what you'd expect.
The product is now running and doing its job. Well worth the money for the product and the superb service.

The name Open Source Excellence certainly lives up to its name. Once installed it is a dream to use and gives you the knowledge that your site, or sites, are secure. I actually chose the Security Suite, with the Anti Hacker and Anti Virus +++, worth every penny.
The ease with which you can extend this product to all of your websites sitting on the same server is brilliant.
The support from Open Source Excellence was incredible, as my needs were great! I was most definitely floundering, with where to add code and find certain files, and they picked me up brushed me down and sorted it all out for me so that I now have the very best security by the very best support giving me peace of mind regarding the security of my sites.
Having first hand experience recently of the devastation caused by hackers with a website - not my own - being held on another server - which I help maintain - I wanted to make sure my server and the sites on it were very secure.
A very professional product from a very professional team and a great big thanks from me!

I have absolutely no problem to highly suggest anybody interested in security features on Joomla to choose this extension.
Their support team is definitely one of the best around here and even if I had issues with non-OSE features, they were opened to help. The little extra step made me feel very comfortable dealing with them. Congratulations!

I don't think I have ever had such excellent customer service. I was having a hard time installing and, to be honest, understanding, how to configure this software. They logged into my account and helped me install what I was having trouble with, looked over my files, whitelisted some alerts for me and just spiffed everything up. I had offered to pay when I asked them to do this this, so they clearly had the opportunity to charge me, but they did not. I am very pleased with this system and I am very pleased with this company!
Great Support, worked with me on my configuration that wasn't cooperating. They stayed right with the support until it was running great. It snagged the first attack within 30 minutes of being installed.
As many others I had my site hacked three times before I decided to install this software. Along with GuardXT this software provides excellent security and is a Bargain for what it does. I get several e-mails a day detailing the exploits and advising the IP's banned. I noticed a lot of hack attempts using sectionEx so I have uninstalled just in case. Without this software I am sure my site would be a mess and with over a 1000 articles I do not want to start again.

I am very happy with this product. I manage a number of web sites in Australia but had the misfortune for the biggest one to be hacked while I was overseas for three months. Not only that, but after days to fix it up and take preventative measures, it was hacked again a month later. That time, I had to fix it using a mobile phone internet connection. S
o, I installed this product also over the mobile phone connection!). I had some initial difficulties with payment on the site but these were addressed in real time (during his night) by Helix. Very impressive!
There have been plenty of hacking attempts since but nothing even approaching success, so I am very pleased. In future, my travels will be a lot more trouble free and I will sleep better at nights as a result of the Anti Hacker product.
Well done and thank you
After sale questions have also been promptly addresses so the support does not stop after you buy it.
Highly recommended,
Dave
