"Exceptional Support That Feels Like Part of My Team"

5/5

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.

"Super Simple, Streamlined Hosting with Fast, Helpful Chat Support"

4/5

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.

"US-Based Support That Digs Deep and Delivers When Needed"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Being one server, a bad bot will take down all sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support and Effortless Site Migration"

4.5/5

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.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem we had was mutli-site capabilities in the WP ecosystem. As all of our dealers use WP, it was a simple decision to move to this platform. As we have a Software Engineer on-staff at Cigarette Racing, we plan to rebuild, and in some cases, build, their sites utilizing sub-domains, so brand image, UI/UX are familiar, yet distinct across the dealership network.

It's an extremely trustworthy web host that offers great support (which enhances its trustworthiness). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Every time there's a new account manager, they hit me up with emails about "problems with my account usage," which, in the past, led me to agree to calls with them that culminated in an attempt to upsell me to a higher-priced package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

This tool offers more security on our word press site which always targeted by hackers. It offers security by managing security updates, scanning malware and also backing up our data to reduce chances of being hacked.
