What do you like best about the product?
Customer service is phenomenal. Functionality is broad but can be confusing at times. The customer service team is responsive and makes things very clear.

Sometimes functionality is confusing/complicated. If you know what you're doing, this allows you tons of control over your site.

WP Engine the tool that works hand in hand with WordPress
What do you like best about the product?
I am very pleased that the technical support is 24 hours a day attentive to the requests presented by users, and at the same time to guide you while you handle the tool, it is an extremely important factor that not all tools have. This tool will provide you with backup and backup copies of your clients' websites so as not to lose any relevant information for the organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be ideal for the tool to send notifications to the email of the users to know the release of the main updates of the tool, so that the user immediately devotes himself to update and to know his new options and versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use WP Engine in the organization to work together with WordPress.org, these two tools are responsible for working on the management of our websites and blogs for our customers. We use WP Engine to host and support all our websites, it provides reliability and security to safeguard all the information that is handled regarding the websites. It is responsible for managing the backup copies of our clients' sites. The ability of WP Engine to create and organize sites easily and transfer data makes it an ideal and powerful tool for our organization, its use in the organization is vital.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WP Engine is a recommended tool for all organizations, whether large or small, since the price becomes quite accessible and competitive for small businesses depending on the staff they work on. WP Engine allows people to focus on content creation and not site maintenance. It gives you reliable and secure security through automatic daily backups. Your backup system will not fail, truly recommended.
A premium web hosting solution that makes our websites load quickly and securely
What do you like best about the product?
WP Engine keeps their web hosting service simple and allows our WordPress websites to load quickly since the hosting environment is designed for WordPress. The account tools are easy to use and mostly self-explanatory in nature. We can update our core WordPress files and plugins through the WP Engine system. The pricing is good for all of the features and enhanced hosting performance that we get. The customer support is also very helpful and pleasant to communicate with.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't complain about a whole lot with WP Engine, but I think it would be great if there were more built-in visitor analytics in our standard account features. I think that some of the analytics regarding site performance aren't really that useful for us from a marketing and user analytics standpoint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine gives our company an optimized web hosting environment for our websites that reduces the amount of time commitments we need for account management and maintenance. Our web pages load quickly most of the time, which I think maximizes the website visitor experience and leads to conversions in sales or increases in form sign ups or service inquiries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Most basic hosting plans can usually host WordPress websites, but I'd suggest using a web host that is geared specifically for WordPress like WP Engine to give your website visitors the best, or at least a highly optimized, experience when viewing your website content.
WP Engine is a simple solution to get our WordPress website running efficiently
What do you like best about the product?
I think the ease-of-use is one of the best things about WP Engine. We can get our WordPress websites imported rather quickly and also create new websites from scratch with the WP Engine installation and management tools. Making updates to our WordPress core files is more streamlined in the WP Engine system compared to updating the software through package downloads. I like that we can get regular updates of activity regarding the use and security of our account.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that is not as good as standard hosting plans is the fact that the pricing for WP Engine is much higher than many of the basic level plans. For some WordPress installations that don't require lots of plugins or complex programming, I think that the page load differences aren't going to be that much improved in WP Engine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine makes it easy for us to install and maintain our WordPress websites. We run lots of important websites for business through WP Engine and need to make sure that they are up and running and are performing as quick to load for visitors as possible. The uptime for WP Engine has been excellent and we often get great page loading speeds. We can also get extended metrics that allow us to analyze the effectiveness of our web page designs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WP Engine can save you lots of time and effort from the maintenance involved with WordPress website installations. You don't have to mess around much with technical programming or any other complicated tasks and maintenance. You may be able to see dramatic improvements in page load speeds compared to standard web hosting, so that's a big reason I would recommend using them.
Awesome Support and Website Performance
What do you like best about the product?
We used to use Hostgater, which was a nightmare due to very poor support and at one point they even shut down our site due to some technical issue.
Moved to WP Engine and it's been an awesome experience,

What do you dislike about the product?
Only one bad experience when a new support person answered on a weekend. Even that wasn't very bad!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Website performance, reliability, and super strong technical support.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
By far the most outstanding, knowledgeable and available technical support I've ever rec'd from a marketing platform.
If you're a very small business like us, with very limited technical knowledge of Wordpress and webhosting, etc. you can't go wrong with WP Engine.

Sticks to the essential items we need for our WordPress websites
What do you like best about the product?
When I tried loading websites at other hosting accounts, they tended to not load WordPress pages as efficiently. WP Engine is great since the structure is designed especially for WordPress installations. We can also get insightful data on visitor activity and the performance of our pages. We often have to install plug-ins to fulfill the design specifications that we have for our websites and WP Engine gives us a platform to be able to download and activate plugins more efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though WP Engine has been super for WordPress installations, it isn't really as much of an open-ended environment for more advanced design and development needs. It is somewhat rigid in terms of the way we can add on features to our hosting account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine has been a great way for us to get faster page loading speeds and be able to update our WordPress extensions and security features more effortlessly. When we don't use a WordPress hosting package like WP Engine, we often have to deal with more malware and coding bugs. WP Engine has reduced the amount of malware attacks we've had on the whole. We can make basic design updates more efficiently and make updates to the content in less time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Many popular web hosting companies nowadays have a WordPress specific hosting package and you may want to check those out if you already have a hosting plan with them. However, I think WP Engine is one of the more efficient companies to go with because they're dedicated more strictly to WordPress.
Best web hosting for Wordpress Website
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy and simple WP Engine is to use. They have so many useful tools that they offer like automatic backups and instant recovery from a backup that just makes this a must use web hosting client for people using wordpress sites. They also have a really solution for creating and testing changes on a staging site so you dont have to push major updates to your main site which could cause problems. They're servers and settings are optimized for Wordpress so you wont have any issues with that. They're online support is very helpful and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The service is going to be a little pricier than your generic web hosting plans like godaddy but you'll have way less headaches than dealing with other hosts like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having the staging site has been great for testing major site updates. I love the auto updates of the WordPress version for our sites and how it checks to make sure that the updates won't adversely affect your site.
Solid hosting for WordPress with support that can be helpful
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of WP Engine. I don't need to worry about upgrades, patches, security issues, performance, DR, and time-consuming administrative things like that. It is all taken care for more by WP Engine. I can focus on delivering sites that perform for my customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
User account management can be a little quirky as you have accounts inside of your WordPress instances and a second set of accounts in WP Engine. Also, installing and updating custom SSL certificates is not automated on their site and requires opening a support ticket.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have enjoyed the fact that WP Engine is very easy to use and the dashboard is very user friendly. We can do everything from the dashboard such as setup SSL, create SFTP users, CDN, cache, domain mapping, setup staging, etc. It has very good chat support, they are always available for our help. The WP Engine team can take care of our websites. They email us every day regarding the vulnerabilities of plugins. They can take care of WordPress updates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that you should't hesitate to go with WP Engine if you are looking for a quality hosting solution. WordPress is a terribly complex piece of software. Generic hosting providers like GoDaddy just do the install and then leave the rest to you. WP Engine sticks with you throughout the lifecycle of your site. Also, self-hosting WordPress is a nightmare unless you have dedicated staff for it.
Best WordPress Hosting of All times
What do you like best about the product?
The user-friendly interface and the faster loading times are one of the best things I like about WP Engine. Through the WP Engine servers, my WordPress website runs quickly and smoothly. The support team is very knowledgeable, and I always get instant feedback whenever I have technical issues. One can easily contact them through their live chat. WP Engine allows me to see live traffic on my website and account data and updates are done automatically.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their prices are on the higher side. They also have a limitation on the number of websites I can connect to my account. Similar hosting companies offer an unlimited number of websites under one account at the same pricing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a solution that could provide backups, automated updates, and secure hosting services, and I found WP Engine. WP Engine does most of the maintenance work for my website and has freed up a lot of time, which I use to concentrate on other parts of my business. The marketing department has scaled up with hosting services from WP Engine.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend WP Engine if you want to host and manage WordPress websites in one place. It is ideal for WordPress, and your website will have faster-loading pages. There are different hosting plans to choose according to your budget.
