We love that it's in one integrated dashboard and, especially, that we can now get visual regression tests of the home page before committing an update. If an update breaks the layout of a site, WP Umbrella gives you choices to roll back the changes or do other interventions. It also allows us to white-label the work we do for other agencies. The reports are the best feature. Our clients love to get that report and it helps us keep at least one monthly touchpoint with them, which often results in additional paid work. We can monitor uptime and performance as well as PHP errors. It's an extra source of backups and enables hourly backups for busy e-commerce sites. The support team is responsive, professional, and helpful. And they have a robust features and fixes suggestion process that results in new features and fixes being rolled out regularly. The company communicates regularly with its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's getting better, but for the past year, as WP Umbrella has had growing pains, the configuration and operation have been a bit of a learning curve. Plugin updating features were spotty in reliability. It sometimes loses connections to various sites and we have to do a bit of troubleshooting and contacting support to sort it all out. But support has been amazing and very responsive. The "Custom Works" log that gets added to the reports has an issue with being off by one day from what we enter vs. what is shown in the report the customer sees. Backup restores aren't always reliable due to connection issues, but we can always get the full backup as a zip if the in-tool restore fails. Bulk updating across all sites at once is tempting but not recommended until there's better stability overall, and it needs to be segmented by labels so that clients with different update schedules don't get them too soon or too late.
