DevKinsta Demo - Ben Townsend (LayerWP)
Being able to pull sites hosted with Kinsta, push them to staging, and create a local environment has made my life so much easier. Reviewing plugins/themes and endlessly putting them on domains is now a thing of the past. Even if you're not hosting with Kinsta, I'd recommend the tool.
DevKinsta Demo - Paul Andrew (Speckyboy)
I tried it... and loved it! I was still setting up my local environment using XAMPP, like a cavemen! It's a game-changer for me.
DevKinsta Demo - Eric Karkovack (Speckyboy)

"Package to develop a simple WordPress page with good tools"
What do you like best about DevKinsta?

The best thing about using the developer is its simplicity, immediacy, and how economical and easy it is. Additionally, they provide you with effective tools for managing your own email and databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevKinsta?

What I miss is a bit of lack of freedom if what you like is programming and customizing your work and projects. Also, it is not as effective in terms of positioning and SEO as would be noteworthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and solid way to test web development locally"
What do you like best about DevKinsta?

It's very easy to spin up a site and test out new ideas, develop new sites or components or test updates before launching a site or making major changes to functionality and not worry about breaking anything. Importing a Kinsta hosted website is just a couple clicks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevKinsta?

It does use Docker, so you'll need a computer with plenty of resources. More of a Docker issue than an app issue, though. I had the same issue with Local (by Flywheel). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very useful, but can be a bit tricky to get it set up."
What do you like best about DevKinsta?

DevKinsta gives me the ability to develop websites locally, quickly, and efficiently. It's easy to use. Open the application, and it checks to make sure it has everything it needs to run correctly; you're off and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevKinsta?

As easy as it is to use, it took some effort to get it set up and running correctly. I had to install and uninstall multiple times to get everything working, and I had a hard time finding much help online for the issues I was having. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"WordPress Development Environment for Linux!"
What do you like best about DevKinsta?

I think the most valuable part of DevKinsta is that everything you need to build a WordPress website is part of DevKinsta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevKinsta?

This isn't a dislike, but I would love to see a version for .rpm-based Linux distributions that doesn't require the manual install and configuration of Docker. Right now, the .deb-based release installs Docker for you. But, as I mentioned, this isn't a negative, and I believe that as DevKinsta on Linux becomes more popular, this will happen.

"Quick & easy"
What do you like best about DevKinsta?

- One-click downloads to get a live site onto your local machine means you have more time to complete the task e.g code changes, updates etc

- Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevKinsta?

there isn't a way to share local sites with trusted colleagues but they have said this may become a feature!

I also would like to have the option of pushing the local site straight to staging, rather than having to create a staging in the dashboard, then pushing local to staging after it's created. it confused me at first until I read the knowledgebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
