Sentry Pigeon Review - Does Sentry Pigeon Really Offer A Proper Website Security Solution

Sentry Pigeon Review - A candid look at Munchweb's latest product offering.After having purchased this training course and having delved into it fully, I can give you a real overview of the pros and the cons of investing in this security training designed for the non-technical audience out there.What Is Sentry Pigeon?Although Sentry Pigeon has a rather curious and somewhat ambiguous name on the surface, it is actually the WordPress website security solution recently released by one Chris Much (aka Munchweb) and promises a combination of reports and videos that encompass everything you need to know about securing your WordPress blog from hackers attacks and other undesirables out there on the World Wide Web.What Does Sentry Pigeon Consist Of?Sentry Pigeon consists of a well written and easy to follow PDF guide that takes you through the individual steps required in securing your WordPress website.This isn't just your typical digital download product that has been highly touted as a professional offering which eventually falls flat. Having fully reviewed and implemented the methods and techniques covered in the guide, I can safely say that I feel better protected from the hacker community lurking out there on the Internet looking to do harm to my websites.As well as the guide there are a series of 25 videos presented in the "screen capture" family of videos (where you effectively watch "over the shoulder" of the trainer to see exactly how and what they are doing in the training demonstration).What Do The Sentry Pigeon Videos Cover?As well as being easy to follow, the Sentry Pigeon videos contain a variety of techniques on how to secure your WordPress website such as;

How to change the file and folder permissions to give you the best protection for your Web host files and folders

Scripts and additional code that is a must to add to your

The best WordPress plugins out there that are not only free but also offer the best automated protection for your websites

Tactics for reducing the likelihood of a hacker gaining entry to your Web server through FTP or your WordPress blog itself

Modifications that you can make to the WordPress login interface to lower the chances of your website being hacked by a method known as Brute Force Attack

This shapes up to be a comprehensive training course but unfortunately there are some downsides to the overall offering, the main points I will go through with you just now.Now, I will go over what I see as the true pros and cons of the Sentry Pigeon WordPress security training package:PROS:

Extremely well priced offering. You would be hard pushed to buy a similar mainstream or commercial WordPress security course for the price Munchweb have set.

Sentry Pigeon covers all the major aspects of implementing a solid security "blueprint" on your WordPress based website or websites.

The PDF report is well written, presented with easy to understand text and overall it is jargon free. Perfect for the intended target audience

The videos are well narrated and cover a whole host of aspects within the WordPress security arena, some of which I must admit I had never heard of before

Actually implementing the techniques and methods discussed in the videos and the PDF report are very straightforward. Nothing has been left to chance by the course designer.

CONS:

The narrator of the videos, although clear and concise may cause issues for some people that have difficulty in understanding certain dialects and accents

These aren't the best "scaled" videos, you may find it irritating to not see the "whole picture" when watching the training videos

At the time of writing, there is no option to maximize the videos on the screen. This is overcome by pressing CTRL & the + key to zoom in but it can still be a bit irritating for those of you used to viewing training videos in full screen

The videos cant be downloaded to your computer so the content must be viewed online. The PDF report however be downloaded.

And My Overall Impression of Sentry Pigeon?With various options available on the market, both from commercial companies and "Indie" companies, Sentry Pigeon had to not just be good, it had to be concise, to the point, accurate with the content and above all else provide real value to those that invest their hard earned in the training it provides.Thankfully, aside from the negative points above, I feel that at the end of the day Sentry Pigeon delivers what it promises to the point that you will not only feel more comfortable with how secure your websites are, but also increase your overall knowledge of how and why we increase security levels on our WordPress blogs and websites in the first place.I can recommend Sentry Pigeon as a solution that not only will tick the above two boxes, but will provide you with solid knowledge for the foreseeable future.
