Typically, I prefer to use other methods for backup and site scanning.
Reason being, many of the plugins only scan/backup only the wordpress
folders. That could mean, if you uploaded a folder outside of WP – or
create pages outside of WP, these don't get backed up or scanned. It
all depends how things are set up. Most sites that have been built
before going WP usually has some residual like that. My backup methods
are universal and works for both WP sites and non WP sites so I'm not
using multiple backups methods.

Also, while there are some great security scanning plugins, I
personally find they tend to bring up a lot of false positives. If you
know how to read them then it you'll know what to ignore but many
don't and sometimes causes unnecessary panic.

Like I said, just preference. I can certainly add those to the list.
