Duplicator Pro Reviews & Product Details

Duplicator Pro is a brilliant utility for backup and restore. It has a simple design and has a help wizard to carry out the backup processes. I also like because it is possible to schedule backups. Also, it connects through API's with cloud storage platforms such as Dropbox or OneDrive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the cost of Duplicator Pro to be very high for the number of site licenses it offers per subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I manage a website for a non-profit, and have to make regular updates to the site, as well as save copies in case of host/server issue. Duplicator Pro has been my go-to resource for the last 15 months, and I'm quite happy to renew it each year because I know it will save me both time and effort should I be faced with issues where I need to restore/deploy a site quickly.

I obviously like that I can save a website or parts of a website, depending on configuration within just a few moments. This software also makes it easy to download everything I need to take with me, and to present the whole job to the people I work with in an easy-to-understand format that I can show as well as teach others to use for themselves in their own deploys.

I specifically appreciate the amount of control I have with regards to the backup of a site, and the options I have during the re-deploy phase. I also like that during this phase, I can log in using the account cpanel, and point to the username and database that I want to affect, rather than hope and pray I got the correct information.

I'm very happy with Duplicator Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did dislike that I had to upgrade to Pro to get full functionality to save/upload a larger database.

The re-installation process for a website can be a bit of a challenge the first few times as well. It took me some time to be comfortable to test and try some of the features offered because the walk through that the website published at the time of deploy didn't delve into some of the options. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with Duplicator Pro, and I would purchase it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very flexible and easy to use system, which allows me to easily manage licenses between multiple client sites and resources. I also like how I can hide my business license key from clients whom I use the software for, so I know that I'm the only one that can access the actual license. Reports of when scheduled backups succeed or fail has become a critical part of my backup infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Truth be told, I have not run into any issues with the application itself, or the licensing system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to change domain names and install without re-creating a WordPress environment make this plugin the only one I've ever used or recommended to others. Even when tech support at the new host is unable to migrate a web site, I have been able to do it successfully. This plugin works and is easily worth the cost of the pro version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have had some trouble storing the package directly via FTP, but that may be because of the new server's naming configuration. I also tend to forget the correct steps if it has been too long since the last time I used the plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Duplicator pro, for the most part, has a very easy to use interface that requires minimal effort to actually duplicate a website for migration purposes. Using duplicator pro generally has saved me a lot of time and headache with site migration. I particularly like that all I mostly have to do is create a package, upload it to a new site with a new database and specifically follow a basic kind of tutorial. Other methods for manually duplicating WordPress websites really were frankly very daunting and the tutorials that exist to really walk you through the process manually leave kind of much to be desired, definitely contrary to popular belief.

There is nothing that I dislike about duplicator pro other than that it seems to require updates almost all the time, which for the most part is quite significant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I migrated my entire wordpress site from Bluehost to Digital ocean in minutes. I don't have the skill set to migrate databases on my own. Duplicator Pro allowed me to migrate my sites to a faster, more robust server with zero issues. I was even able to change the URL in one case when I went from a staging site to a live site. Many WP developers use a localhost to build sites before launching, this allowed be to build the site on my actual server with a dummy URL so the client could see his site before going live.

Duplicator Pro makes moving bigger WordPress websites simplicity itself. We were stuck moving a large client site with the fremium version - but after upgrading to Pro, it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Using site licences across is simple and flexible - we can freely move licences between multiple client sites, to use them exactly when and where we need to.

We've been using Duplicator Pro for a year now. I don't remember any niggles upgrading or getting the licence registered, so were up and running really quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that with very little tweaking for most of my WordPress clients' sites, I can download complete encapsulated copies, and then be able to re-deploy the backup with minimum fuss, covering both files and database. For migrating sites from one server to another and even one domain name to another, Duplicator Pro has proved indispensable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very occasionally there are environments (available server/Apache packages) which Duplicator Pro has some issues re-constituting sites when re-deploying, but usually there is a work around. Also, I do sometimes forget to turn off WordFence Security first and not doing so will interfere with re-deployment and cause a headache until re-done. There should likely be a built-in warning (or I am not seeing it). Some of the "Notices" are more critical than others and the differentiation between them could be better.

There are actually many things I like about Duplicator Pro but at the top of that list is the ease at which I can take one of my backups and the installer file and within a few mouse clicks, have my site installed on any new host and/or new domain. Flawless! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a tough one to answer but the only thing that comes to mind is when I first began using Duplicator Pro, it had a bit of a learning curve. Once I viewed the tutorials and set up a couple of different sites, it was no problem at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't even know where to start trying to migrate a site from a WAMP dev site to a live production linux server. But doing so with Duplicator Pro makes the process accessible for those with less than years of experience working with server technologies. Even if there is an issue with the migration the support forums make it easy to work through the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't worked with Duplicator Pro long enough to have run into any issues that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
