"Outstanding Support and Strategic Guidance from Anna P"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

We had a fantastic experience we had with Anna P's support. She took the time to address all of our concerns and questions thoroughly and understood our questions even when they were vague due to our own confusion. She also provided excellent strategic advice on how to best utilize the platform. Additionally, she researched and shared a comprehensive list of resources and articles which are extremely valuable and will be critical in helping us manage our site successfully moving forward. Her intelligence and dedication to her work were very clear to us.

On top of all of that, it was so pleasant communicating with her! She has made a significant difference for our business as we navigate away from a full-time developer team, and we are very grateful for her expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

It is very technical and confusing for someone without a developer background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consistently 5-Star Chat Support"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WPEngine is consistently helpful through their chat support. Today, I received help with two sites in one conversation. I rate them 5-Stars... every time!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hands down the best customer service, especially when their system occasionally has flaws.... they are always ready to get to the root of the problem and get it fixed. But even when I have issues that are really on my end... in the Wordpress site, they try to bend over backwards to help me fix my problem.

We've been hosting sites for our clients on WPEngine for over 10 years. We've had other companies try to take our business, but we always turn them down.

Love Love Love the dashboard and how it works. It didn't take me long to learn how to use it 5 years ago, when I joined our company, and I have been able to update my knowledge over the years as the system changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The one thing I don't like... Is the semi-yearly call to ask me to upgrade my servers to a more expensive plan. but they are not insistent, they try to be helpful. And their explanation of "use of resources" was so vague in these calls, I had to do my own research to find out what they really meant. No one in their sales team could really explain it.

but since that is my only complaint about WPEngine, I give them 5 stars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Zwirko of WP Engine

Thank you for taking the time to share your review and feedback, Jeffrey! We greatly appreciate your long term advocacy and we're glad to hear about your positive experience from our support team! We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to them.

"Super Reliable Hosting with Room for Support Improvement"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I like WP Engine because it's super easy to use and very reliable. It provides a super reliable hosting environment ensuring our client sites are always up and online. I find it really easy to manage updates, security, and site monitoring, which takes care of the overall health of our client sites. This ease means I don't have to think about the infrastructure, and I know it's secure, which gives me peace of mind. Additionally, the initial setup was incredibly easy; creating an account, migrating sites, and updating everything is straightforward. The support and infrastructure are great, making WP Engine valuable to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Sometimes the support could be faster. It can feel like we're waiting too long to get a response. I also find it annoying to have to repeatedly say I want to talk to a human. An option to bypass the AI agent in the support channel would be nice because sometimes I just know I need to go directly to a human. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Zwirko of WP Engine

Thank you for taking the time to share your review, Sam! We're glad to hear about your positive experience using our platform. We continually work to improve our processes and we appreciate your feedback on support. We'll be sure to pass it along to our team!

"Automatic Backups and 24x7 Support Make This a Standout Choice"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

There are a few aspects I appreciate: the automatic backups provide peace of mind, and having access to a 24x7 support system is very reassuring. Additionally, the Git deployment feature is quite useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

There are two main issues I have encountered. First, I am unable to run cron jobs directly on the server, which limits my ability to automate tasks as needed. Second, I cannot easily view server resources and utilization at a glance, making it difficult to monitor performance efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Zwirko of WP Engine

Thank you for your review, Kuldeep! We understand the value of automatic backups and 24/7 support, and we're constantly working to improve our services to meet our customers' needs. We'll be sure to pass your feedback on server resources and cron jobs to the rest of our team as we evolve our systems and processes. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out!

"Exceptional Support That Feels Like Part of My Team"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I’m using WP Engine to run the hosting portion of my new business. My rep and anyone I’ve ever talked with on chat has always been nothing but informative and helpful. They truly feel like an extension of my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The going live/adding a new domain process feels a little clunky. I’m never sure if the standard practice of running a search and replace is running or not. I often have to chat in to resolve dns issues going live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Zwirko of WP Engine

"Super Simple, Streamlined Hosting with Fast, Helpful Chat Support"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Super simple and streamlined hosting solution. It's quick and easy to get website hosting set up and if you run into any issues, getting in touch with support through chat is super fast and they are always very helpful. We also haven't had any issues with downtime from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

It is perhaps not the most robust hosting platform - if you are running complex sites, you might need a hosting solution with more features or power in their hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Zwirko of WP Engine

"Exceptional Support and Effortless Site Migration"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Exceptional support staff. The responses given were personal and detailed to the situation at hand. Migrating my site was a super simple task. There were only a few, slight bugs in the process, but they were easily squashed by the amazing support team. I do greatly appreciate that they are well trained to Europe and U.S. standards, making communication also a breeze.

Also, any changes I needed made that I did not have access to were done promptly by their team. I mainly needed WPEngine due to its ease of setup in a multisite environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Not much here to be honest. I think the plugins are not needed as their are cheaper alternatives available, but otherwise very great experience, and our old site that we migrated received ~2 second increase for FPL and massively increased our LPL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support and Intuitive Dashboard"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine has a seamless customer service that always ready to help on a 24/7 hours schedule. They never hesitate to offer help.

It has an intuitive dashboard that promotes high speed reporting and insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I feel disadvantaged by this tool lack of emails hosting. It leads us to incurring more cost to purchase a third party tool for email hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Attentive Support with Simple Setup"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I found the customer service at WP Engine to be exceptional. Their team was attentive and fast to respond, which helped us quickly identify and solve an issue with a plugin. They demonstrated great problem-solving skills by helping us determine that the problem was with another plugin and not the custom fields plugin we were using, which saved us a lot of time and frustration. Additionally, I appreciated the simplicity involved in the initial setup of WP Engine, which made transitioning to their service straightforward. The wonderful customer service, along with the simple setup process, left a positive impression on me, and because of these experiences, I would highly recommend WP Engine, giving it a 9 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

They could not at the time we moved hosting handle a multi-site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Zwirko of WP Engine

Thank you for taking the time to share your review and feedback, Sharon! We're glad to hear about your positive experience with our support team and using our platform so far!
