"Fast, Attentive Support with Simple Setup"
4.5/5
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.

"Solid product, great support, lacking some developer-friendly features"
3.5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Their offering has evolved over the years, but it's still technically solid and their customer service still surprises me with how helpful they are - it doesn't feel scripted or performative, which is rare in this space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I know the architecture is set up how it is for a reason, but I miss having greater control over the different pieces of my hosting stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Not enough done to handle bad bots and enormous amounts of dynamic hits/ requests from the same IP 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 platform so far. We understand bad bots pose serious threats to sites and that bot traffic, whether good or bad, impacts websites significantly, affecting search engine visibility, security, and user experience. We recently expanded our Global Edge Security tool to help site owners get a better view of bot traffic, as well as limit or entirely lock down access. Please check out the linked article for more info on bot management! (https://wpengine.com/blog/bot-traffic-management-guide/)

"Excellent Uptime and Support from WPEngine"
4/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Our sites are hosted with generally no issues with uptime whatsoever. WPEngine has consistently provided excellent support and hosting services and has thoroughly assisted us with several issues that we have had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

My only honest complaint is the support chat no longer makes a sound when you are not actively tabbed into the window anymore, making it easy to miss updates from the support chat if you are, say, working on another task while talking to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
