 * Hi, is Patchstack meant to be an additional security plugin or meant to replace
   other security plugins like Wordfence?
 * I ask as I am a bit confused on what Patchstack actually does compared to the
   other plugins. The reason is because I saw on SolidWP (formerly known as Ithemes)
   website that Patchstack is included in their paid versions. That tells me Patchstack
   is an add-on to harden already existing secutity features provided by SolidWP.
 * Now, SolidWP is a Wordfence competitor, can I then assume to also use Wordfence
   and Patchstack together? Or is Patchstack working with SolidWP exclusively because
   they “fulfil” each other better? (maybe because the latter 2 come from same company/
   developer?)
 * Thanks 🙂
