What do you like best about MainWP?

The fact that it doesn't force me into using another ecosystem of plugins or tools. I can use my preferred plugins that I always use, and there's an extension that supports it (hint: if you use one of the 'main' ones - it's probably covered). It picks up on these data feeds and can splice them into reports for clients.

Updating plugins and themes seems flawless. Integration with pagespeed is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MainWP?

While MainWP has ticked all the boxes, it took me a solid day or so to set it all up. This includes getting through their extensions, reading the docs, and the absolutely heinous Google Analytics setup process (sorry guys, but it's a total PITA). The reports also look pretty average. Basically, I needed to manually extend the reports side by editing one of the existing templates, and implementing my own styles and font. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MainWP solving and how is that benefiting you?

I went through all of the testing. Umbrella WP, WPMU Dev, ManageWP, WP Remote, and so on. What I found is that most of those other platforms were charging a high price (e.g. WPMU wants you on $1200+ p/a! Granted you get a lot of value, but still), and only covered about 60% of the functionality I was after.

Just to be clear - all of these platforms have the capability of updating your site remotely, and most of them allow you to whitelabel the plugin. The missing link for me was:

- Integration with Analytics

- Integration with Wordfence

- Large control over reports

I was initially turned away from MainWP as you need to self-host it (what a pain?!) - however, it sort of makes sense now that I've got it up and running. Spin yourself up a new hosting environment - set yourself plenty of RAM/CPU resources - and give it a shot.

The end result is really great though. The reports look schmick and as good as WPMU Dev's reports - but without needing to commit to their ecosystem of plugins. I'm really excited to see what the MainWP team pulls together over the next year or so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
