Top Rated MainWP Alternatives
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.
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.

MainWP is self hosted rather than a SAAS product so you have and retain full control over all of your Data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some 3rd party extentions are mediocre at best, this isn't really the fault of MainWP but rather the 3rd party Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is the only Wordpress management tool I have ever tried to use. Since setting it up to manage my customer websites, a few minutes every day keeps everything up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have purchased the pro version. I am still figuring out how to use some of the extensions most effectively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use. Lots of integrations. Powerful.
I have left MainWP many times, testing other plugins and being sure i can find better than MainWP...And each time, i went back to MainWP ! Now, I have stopped testing others, as i know I'm at the right place to manage all my clients websites ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would love to be able to do the "update Elementor database" that Elementor sometimes requires but we need to log to the website to see that... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything you need to keep you various WP websites up to date quickly. And you can do so much with the free plan if you only have a few sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No complaints! MainWP is very generious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MainWP is critical in enabling my team and clients to have a simplified ability to manage Wordpress websites. Wordpress is a huge part of our business and any tool that helps us save time and stay secure is an instant buy. The team behind MainWP have continuously worked to improve the product and listen to the needs of their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've used other management services like ManageWP and there are a few features that I would like to have integrated a bit more tightly - visual diff checking for updates (with automatic backup trigger option prior to an update), at a glance vulnerability from an alternative source from WPScan now that the business model of WPScan is changing from API-usage to per site usage due to their acquisition from Automattic (just discovered this after a call with WPScan after seeking to increase API usage). Neither of these is the fault of MainWP as since it is open source, if there's a high enough interest there's nothing stopping my own dev team from implementing solutions if needed and the huge notice to the above is I haven't added them to the proper feedback channels in MainWP, so don't misconstrue the list as a fault of MainWP.

It's incredibly feature-rich and once you have the hang of how to set it up, very easy to manage all your sites within the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was a small learning curve to understand how to set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the fact that you can do so much with this tool straight out of the box. You also have the ability to select what tools you use and where you want to store informaiton. Unlike other companies that require you to use their services, and store on their servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a couple of features I'd like to see but are not there yet. The guys at MainWP are open to suggestions though so I'm sure that will happen very soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that I install it into my own WordPress instance so I have complete control. I love how easy it is to use and how quickly I can perform updates and required maintenance for my clients. I've been a paid customer since they first launched and I've not regretted it once. It's the best investment I've made for my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As I sit here and ponder what I might dislike about MainWP, replaying previous experiences in my head, I can only think of one thing and it's not really that big of a deal -- I do wish that the email reports system was more robust, perhaps a drag-and-drop report builder would be helpful.

Been using the product for years, and does what it is supposed to do, stable, fast, and simple. a more than fine product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
nothing, it's good as it is, im happy with the product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In the last 5+ years, I have used several different platforms to update remotely mine and my client's WordPress sites. MainWP. The platforms were fine.
Recently I came across MainWP Pro and I was blown away by its options, details, and functionality.
I ordered the lifetime package of MainWP Pro and cancel my subscription with other plaforms.
I added all my and my client's sites (100+), and start updating them daily. I really enjoy working and managing all the sites from there.
I have not explored yet all options, but what I see and use till now is amazing. The MainWP Pro really rocks!
I like the ability of Grouping and the possibility of the system to log me into any of the sites with a click of a button. This is really huge time saver.
The backup and staging options are also amazing plus the daily emails, suggestions, and notifications.
The Reports option is also really handy so that the email of the monthly or weekly updates are generated and emailed to me or my clients.
It is a truly amazing system, a time-saver, with great UX, and the most important very functional.
I wish I was found these platforms a few years ago, but better later than never. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far nothing that to dislike. It is amazing software. Very fast and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
