"Excellent WordPress Hosting"

4/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

I really appreciate th clear, user-friendly dashboard that make managing multiple client websites a breeze. The layout is intuitive and the clean design helps me navigate all the essential features without getting lost. Additionally, their tech support is great! They are pretty fast to respond in support chat, and their support people mostly know what they are doing. Nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

One thing I dislike about WP Engine is their tendency to upsell additional services that our clients don’t really need. Sometimes, the upsell emails are framed in a way that makes it seem like there's an issue with the site that need to be addressed, setting off an unnecessary alarm for clients who then contact us with their concerns.

"If you use WordPress, you need WP Engine!"

5/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

Updating sites is brutally simple and streamlined allowing me to update our 100+ sites without logging into a single site unless there are issues updating a particular plugin. Support is very good and responsive with either chat or calls. Copying and creating sites is also staggeringly simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The only complaint I can think of is that it can be unwieldy when trying to navigate to a particular site within WPE when you have 100+ sites. I realize we likely aren't the norm with that number of sites, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Way Overpriced"

1.5/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

Customer service in the beginning was strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Customer service fell off as they grew. They also prssured me into much higher pricing levels. My new host charges 1/6 of the fee for the exact same hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
