Hi Rob,
What features are you using on the other plugins? Typically, you can use similar plugins as long as you do not enable similar features on each one. For example, there is no need for two firewalls or two cacheing plugins.

Hi Brian, WordPress security by Acunetix seems to do a few things that AIOWS&F doesn’t – which is why I use both. I don’t really want to use 3 security plugins, but I’m not sure what Wordfence covers
Here’s a list from WordPress Security by Acunetix
The “.htaccess” file was not found in the “wp-admin” directory
The “index.php” file was found in the “/wp-content” directory
The “index.php” file was found in the “/wp-content/plugins” directory
The “index.php” file was found in the “/wp-content/themes” directory
The “index.php” file was found in the “/wp-content/uploads” directory
The readme.html file is either empty or not accessible.
The default WordPress database prefix is not used
User “admin” (with administrative rights) was not found
You have the latest version of WordPress installed
The content of the readme.html file from the root directory has been deleted.
WordPress version displayed in links only for administrator users.
WordPress admin notifications are only displayed to administrator users.
Core update notifications are only displayed to administrator users.
Directory listing check is enabled.
Error reporting, PHP and database, is enabled only for administrator users
WordPress meta tags are only displayed on frontend to administrator users
“/wp-content” directory is secure from directory listing.
“/wp-content/plugins” directory is not secure from directory listing.
“/wp-content/themes” directory is not secure from directory listing.
“/wp-content/uploads” directory is not secure from directory listing.
WordPress login errors are not displayed.
Plugins update notifications are only displayed to administrator users
WordPress Really Simple Discovery tag is only displayed on frontend to administrator users.
Themes update notifications are only displayed to administrator users
WordPress version is only displayed to administrator users
Is there a list like that for what WordFence does?

Towards the bottom of this page, https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/, there is a long list of the various features. If you are looking for more detail, you can also check out our docs site, http://docs.wordfence.com.
