I sell software as a service (SAAS) and own 2 websites that I purchased WP Activity Log for. As an SAAS business owner, I like to support other businesses that sell software, which is why I purchased this company's plugin twice (1 for each of my websites). After installing the plugin, I realized the plugin's concurrent login function doesn't work properly. The plugin repeatedly kicks users out and/or prevents them from logging in (including the admin). Every time I activated the plugin it would log me out of my website. In the end I had to remove the plugin completely and hire a PHP developer to create code to prevent concurrent logins. (If anyone needs the code, please find it below). I read some previous reviews that stated this company refuses to provide refunds, but unfortunately, I didn't take them seriously. I'm now working with my credit card company to chargeback the purchases and it's been a headache. I love the WordPress community and have bought dozens of plugins from various companies without an issue. WP Activity Log is the first company to leave a bad taste in my mouth. Their software doesn't work and they will do everything in their power to keep your money after the payment is made. Simply disgusting behavior. Please find code that I found useful for preventing concurrent logins below. I've been able to couple this with the WordPress Simple History plugin and have had no issues with my sites. /*** allows only one user to be logged in per account*/function only_one_login() {$token = wp_get_session_token();if ( $token ) {$manager = WP_Session_Tokens::get_instance( get_current_user_id() );$manager->destroy_others( $token );}}add_action('init', 'only_one_login');

We had many people taking care of the internal works on our website and a few times things broke and caused losses in revenue. Not to blame anyone, but to prevent such issues in the future we needed a plugin that would help us track and find whose and which actions led to the problems with the website. This is a great plugin for that, and the support team is great! Thank you!Julia & the Team, Retouching Academy

From all the activity monitoring plugins I have tested so far, this one has by far the most extensive feature set. This can be great if you are a geek, but for most users this is simply overwhelming. On the other hand, a huge part of this functionality is only available in the paid version, which is heavily advertized, and that is overwhelming as well. If you only plan to use the free version, then there are several better options. I'm not the guy who expects that everything must be free, but the amount of advertizing in this plugin is simply too much. P.S. Hiding the plugin from the list of installed plugins by default makes no sense – except to make it more difficult for inexperienced users to get rid of the plugin. Very bad practice.
