"Easy WordPress Management with Stress-Free Visual Regression Testing"
5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Its easy to setup and manage WP installations, including updating plugins with their SPM tool. Their visual regression testing puts me at ease when setting updates to run by themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Right now it would have to be their API, it still lacks some features but I believe they'll get there eventually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consistently 5-Star Chat Support"
5/5
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.

"Exceptional Support — Polite, Responsive Tech Team That Solves Problems"
5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Their tech team is always so helpful. They look into things and provide help and solutions depending on the situation. They are always polite and so helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

That you are not able to delete profiles unless you are the main admin. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to have that capability but in reality I understand why they don't have it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Premium Hosting with Speed and Reliable Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I really value the speed and reliability of WP Engine's hosting. It's premium hosting with the best and fastest servers we've ever used, and we've tried many different providers before. Another aspect I like is the partner program tools specifically built for agencies like ours, making it easy to access all our clients with one-click logins instead of dealing with various individual logins. The automated nightly backups are a big plus as well, letting us be more creative with our websites and ensuring that if anything goes wrong, we have a safe spot to roll back to. I also appreciate the ability to clear caching with just one click, which makes testing and development a breeze. The fact that WP Engine offers these essential tools right out of the box saves us dozens of hours per website, which is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I think navigation could be a little easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review, Jordan! We're glad to hear about your positive experience with our platform! We also appreciate your feedback on navigation and we'll pass it along for consideration for future improvements.

"Best-in-Class Support with Fast Access to Real People"
5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

The support is the absolute best. I have worked with almost every hosting company and nobody else even comes close. You can get a real person on chat in usually less than 5 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Sometimes if I have a real issue and I reach out to my account manager, they try to upsell me rather than fix the issue. I have also had a dozen account reps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OK for starting with hosting, pricey for scaling"
3.5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

It's been a while, but after their Studiopress acquisition, you can use tons of Free Templates from WPEngine (which otherwise you would generally had to pay - considering the template quality) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Pricing gets way higher as you scale, apart from that they're awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Peace of Mind Hosting with WPE—Easy to Use and Stress-Free"
5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Peace of mind and ease of use. WPE takes the stress out of hosting solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

As they have grown and begun to implement AI support, the human support access time has increased. The support is great when you get it still, but you have to wait longer to speak to a person. 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, Tyrus! We're glad to hear that our platform is able to help take the stress out of hosting for you! We appreciate your feedback on our support systems; we'll be sure to pass this along to our management team as we consider process improvements.

"Excellent WP Engine Support That Quickly Resolves Security Hiccups"
5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine’s support team is excellent. Even with a tricky WAF false positive, the agent stayed engaged, investigated multiple angles, and helped me find a workaround so I could get unblocked quickly. Support felt knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

At times, the security layer can be a little too aggressive and flag false positives, which can slow down straightforward tasks like replacing files. Still, when this does happen, support is responsive and helpful, so it feels more like minor friction than a major problem. 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! We're glad to hear about your positive experience with our team, and we appreciate your feedback on our security. We'll be sure to pass your review along to our team for consideration as we work to improve our platform.

"Powerful, Developer-Friendly Hosting—But Pricing Can Be a Hurdle"
3/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

What I like best about WP Engine is the balance between performance, reliability, and developer-friendly tools. Their managed hosting takes care of updates, security, backups, and caching, which saves a lot of maintenance time. I also appreciate the staging environments, strong support team, and seamless integration with WordPress workflows, especially for agencies and teams managing multiple sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

One downside of WP Engine is the pricing, which can feel expensive compared to standard hosting providers, especially for smaller websites or startups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super Reliable Hosting with Room for Support Improvement"
5/5
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.
