What do you like best about MainWP?

I like being able to make multiple users on different sites at the same time, checking versions of plugins and themes, the Sucuri scan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MainWP?

Clunky/difficult to navigate interface, not intuitive all the time. Doesn't allow you to add your own staging sites. Wordfence options don't match options in plugin. Can't download pdfs of reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MainWP:

It has good potential, but it's not a magic fix for everything. Also clunky to set up and use at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to access sites from a central location. Better tracking of vulnerabilities and critical updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
