CEO/Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/16/2021 "MainWP Does What Your Host Should Be Already Doing" 3.5/5 What do you like best about MainWP? Managing multiple WordPress applications is quite common these days. From businesses with multiple purposes to independent hobbyists managing multiple blogs. MainWP helps you consolidate all of the management involved with managing such applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MainWP? There are no unique features that you can't already get with another WP manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MainWP solving and how is that benefiting you? Maintenance and upkeep with WordPress sites can be tedious work and MainWP helps solve that by creating a simplified environment where you can monitor these applications as well as execute any required updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Response from Marc Benzakein of MainWP [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/mainwp-review-5209332/official_response/edit) Hello Jake, We appreciate the honest review and just wanted to drop a few lines. Yes, the web hosting industry has evolved and you can manage applications but they should be hosted on their hosting. However, with MainWP, one can manage WordPress websites on other hosts as well. Let's say, your MainWP Dashboard is hosted on hosting A, but a few websites on hosting B, a few on hosting C, and so on. All you need is to install the MainWP Child plugin on hosting B, hosting C, and so on having MainWP Dashboard on hosting A you can manage all of the websites from hosting A, this includes 1-click login to all the connected Child sites. So this is different as compared to what hosting providers are offering. And, unlike other WP Managers, MainWP is open-source & self-hosted along with tons of optional extensions to empower your MainWP Dashboard streamlining your website management workflows. This ensures that your client's important data like credentials are private, secure, and in your control instead of a third-party SaaS-based solution. https://mainwp.com/protect-your-data/ If we talk about the feature-set, I believe no one is offering "Lighthouse" to audit all connected websites at once on a single screen. Have a look at all the extensions. https://mainwp.com/mainwp-extensions/ Above all, our engineering team is busy developing some exciting extensions which others aren't offering. Will be out in a month. Stay tuned! These are a few things that our users love and MainWP is the only WordPress Management plugin with 2000+ Five Star Reviews on WP.org Thanks again for the honest review.

Media planner Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/29/2021 "MainWP gives you full control" 4/5 What do you like best about MainWP? This plugin is very comfortable, familiar, and there is no need to learn how to use it from scratch. The setup is easy, and you can use it for optimizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MainWP? I have nothing I dislike, maybe only the fact that it is not suitable for shared hosting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MainWP solving and how is that benefiting you? I'm saving time by managing multiple websites without login into each of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For shared hosting, this is something we do not recommend in a long run. Many shared hosting providers have their own pros, cons, limits, etc. which may result in a slower experience. But, we do understand this and you can enable an option to optimize MainWP for shared hosting. Have a look at this KB: https://kb.mainwp.com/docs/how-to-optimize-your-mainwp-dashboard-for-shared-hosting/ Once again, we are more than happy to have you & looking forward to continuing this relationship for the years to come.

The interface -- it makes everything so easy and simple to do. Allows me to aggregate everything into one organized spot and keeps tabs on stuff more efficiently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MainWP? I've had a couple of glitchy instances where things don't appear properly or register changes -- but again, with a free plug-in, beggars can't be choosers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MainWP solving and how is that benefiting you? Keeping all of my sites in one spot and easily accessible. Before this it would take a huge chunk of time to keep tabs on everything and check on all my wordpress sites -- this this I pop onto the dashboard and see what's what and can control the basics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That's so kind of you! I'm sorry for the glitches, this could be for multiple reasons. Most of the time it's related to the hosting. If you are hosting the MainWP Dashboard on shared hosting, I would encourage you to enable the option to optimize the MainWP Dashboard for shared hosting. Have a look at this guide: https://kb.mainwp.com/docs/how-to-optimize-your-mainwp-dashboard-for-shared-hosting/ And if it continues, feel free to get in touch with our support team.
