Awesome WordPress hosting
What do you like best about the product?
Awesome WordPress hosting with great support. The support is killer-good. Also their deployment workflow is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The email notifications regarding deployment status never seem to make it to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting for a site that is stable, reliable and has environments for development,QA and production.
Very Helpful Support, Intuitive Interface, and Powerful Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Out of all of the features WP Engine offers, hands down my favorite is the git integration. Allowing things to be version controlled is of upmost importance. And then to one up that, version controlling multiple environments (staging/production) makes me day-to-day much more headache free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't really run into anything that I didn't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wordpress hosting for our website and all associated files.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the effort to set up your git workflow. You won't regret it and you'll be able to build/deploy so much quicker.
WPE - The best hosting platform for WordPress sites
What do you like best about the product?
Secure, simple to use, industry best for support.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you fall a the bottom end of a predefined hosting plan pricing per site for hosting is pretty high compared to other hosts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Downtime is zero, hacks are non existent, hosting is powerful, and backups are automatically done daily. It's taken 80% of the stress out of the evils of cheap hosting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up and don't look back
Great Hosting Provider!
What do you like best about the product?
WP-Engine is incredibly easy to use and setup. They have a website migration tool that automates the process of moving from your old server to the new WP-Engine server.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm a customer for more than 2 years and I am yet to have a complaint about the WP-Engine platform. Great support and a rock-solid system that just works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a WordPress theme developer and I host my various themes and plugins on a WP-Engine Multisite network. I receive 40k+ visits per month and all sites perform perfectly.
Very Happy With Our Move to WP Engine!
What do you like best about the product?
Working with the friendly and knowledgeable technicians. Help is always a quick chat away!
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, there is nothing that we've found to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We love working with a company that is specific to the WordPress platform. This is primarily what we use for our web clients, so it helps to work with a company that's so focused on doing that really well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're moving over from another hosting provider, the migration process couldn't be easier. If you do have any snags in the beginning or along the way, their chat feature is super responsive and the techs are always able to help out. I feel they go above and beyond expectations.

Website Hosting
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's worth it.
I personally despise WPE, There technical support is crap and working with their servers is a pain
What do you like best about the product?
The only thing they have going for them is they offer somewhat performant servers if you're willing to pay for an enterprise type account.
Their one click staging and backup is pretty useful.
Their one click staging and backup is pretty useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
everything!
Their support staff are terribly unhelpful. In the past years every time that I have had to log in to talk to their support for some reason they are about as helpful as a spoon with no handle. They constantly tell me that simple things like running a wp-cli command are outside of their scope.
The restrictions they place on their customers is beyond painful. They don't let you do anything. You can only deploy with SFTP and git, which is a joke.
On top of all that, it is difficult to test your code in staging because they actually have a different configuration in staging than in production.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
none. The only thing WP Engine has helped me profit from is migrating their existing customers onto better platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Carefully consider if they are right for you. There are other, much better offerings in the managed WordPress area. Make sure you consider them.
Powerful, secure, and excellent for running my agency and hosting my clients with
What do you like best about the product?
Top feature is being able to have my template site with all of my settings, base code, etc. all ready to go. And can create new sites for new clients directly from that template site in one click. Such a time-saver right from the beginning.
I can also upgrade to my own server and host all my clients on their super convenient platform with quick ways to manage their sites, restore sites, deploy back and forth from a staging site for each client, and most importantly never worry about security of my client's sites because it is so tight and always backed up with quick restore points. And then the speed enhancements like CDN and server cache are great as well.
Support has always been very responsive and helpful with any needs as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
They do disallow a few plugins due to performance degredation and/or security, but I prefer faster, more secure sites so haven't had any really problems with it. Also wish I had a way to set up my own cacheing exceptions. Currently support has to take care of adding those.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think I touched on it already. But systemetizing new site setup for new clients (by duplicating template sites) and easily manage many client's sites are big ones.
Also the reason I originally looked at it was the security. That is my original top concern considering the issues on other hosting providers I've been with.

The best Wordpress hosting out there
What do you like best about the product?
Everything. Speed, security, backups, updates,...
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is somewhat high, but you get what you pay for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I always had issues with speed and when my site was breached in the previous hosting service I had (on the Linux level), I decided to switch due to lack of responsiveness.
Never had such issues at WP Engine. They give me the peace of mind I need for the third year in a row.

Use them. Don't go anywhere else.
Great service
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to be able to call WP Engine or live chat any time of the day or night. The support staff are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
It's only the safety and security that WP Engine provides that enables me to run hosting packages on behalf of clients with confidence. The Staging environment is particularly useful and easy to use.
