"Simply The Best"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WPEngine's support is second to none. They are always willing to help and have solved many complex problems for me. The uptime is very good as well, we never worry about our sites not being up.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

To some it's the cost but to me it's a premium product and you get what you pay for honestly. It's worth the cost to me. I do wish you could have a little more control on the backend.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WPEngine provides reliability and support for sites which can be complex. They make what can be very complex much easier.

"The best platform for hosting WordPress websites worry free."
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine has flexible options that help agencies resell, scale, and receive top notch customer service. We also appreciate the tech which has provided optimal speeds for our sites as well.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

This is a little weird, but as you start to fill up dedicated servers, finding a way to affordably accommodate one or two sites as you grow your base of hosting clients can be challenging.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are solving the problem of needing a reliable host to accommodate multiple WordPress sites but they are also helping with their plugin update tool which helps keep the sites up to date.

"WP Engine makes it easy to manage multiple websites with valuable customer service"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I like being able to login to the WP admin through the portal, having a development and staging site, and being able to easy access high quality help with issues as they come up.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I wish hosting costs were cheaper, as always,but frankly we do get a good product for the price. I had some trouble a year or so ago with legacy staging, but it's been fixed.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to easily show my clients development versions of their sites before going live. It also has a seamless connection with domain registrars to set up a connection with your domain instantly.

"Always my go-to vendor"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine is always there to help us navigate complex hosting environments and monitor our sites. Can't recommend this platform enough for all of your WordPress hosting needs.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

A rigid devops or webops process is not implemented with WP Engine and this can be tricky depending on how much control your individual developers have to push new code.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine support is always there, 24/7, and it's huge. They go above and beyond to help us understand the situation and always work with us until the issue is completely sorted.

"Takes the SysAdmin work out of wordpress"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine makes it so that I have a hosting partner for wordpress.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I wish there were a dedicated account manager like there is when you have a Shopify store.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine allows us to work with WP sites without needing to pay additional resources for hosting/monitoring/sys-admin, etc...

"Hands Down, The Best WordPress Hosting"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

From their top notch support to their rock steady servers, we've never had any issues - we continue to love and grow with the platform as a company thanks to their scalability, pricing, and future optimizations (such as Atlas).

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

For a single site, the pricing can seem high, but for an agency - it's a great value. On real room for improvement is tied to version control and GitHub integration, but this appears to be getting better in the future with their headless and Atlas builds.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scalable and high performance websites for ourselves and our clients.

"Hands down preferred hosting for WordPress"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Their chat support is always available and ready to help whenever you need it. Many of their techs go above and beyond, helping to troubleshoot and identify issues. Overall, the hosting service is great — stable, secure and reliable.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Some recent changes to chat support require extra steps to get connected with a human, which is a little annoying. As a pro user, I've typically already done initial research & sleuthing, so by the time I open chat support, I'm ready for a person. Not a deal-breaker, but a noticeable difference from their previous chat structure.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

I provide hosting solutions for my clients, both through my own Enterprise account and by referring my clients directly to WPE. As such, it's important that my recommendation be met with quality, reliable service. WPE helps to make site maintenance & management turn-key, so I can best serve my clients.

"WP Engine Is the Best WordPress Web Host I've Used"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I've used many different web hosting companies in the past, and once I experienced WP Engine, I moved ALL my clients over to them. Their platform is secure (they disallow certain plug-ins), their hosting is fast (needed to keep Google happy), and their tech support is the best I've ever experienced. I know my way around WordPress pretty well, but when I get stumped (which is rare), their support is right on it.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

They're pricier than everyone else, but you get what you pay for. I'm happy to pay the difference and refuse to use any other hosting company.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine has provided the solution to many issues I've had with other hosting companies in the past: web server speed, security and tech support that is available 24x7.
