"Automatic Backups and 24x7 Support Make This a Standout Choice"
5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

There are a few aspects I appreciate: the automatic backups provide peace of mind, and having access to a 24x7 support system is very reassuring. Additionally, the Git deployment feature is quite useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

There are two main issues I have encountered. First, I am unable to run cron jobs directly on the server, which limits my ability to automate tasks as needed. Second, I cannot easily view server resources and utilization at a glance, making it difficult to monitor performance efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Zwirko of WP Engine

"A better hosting experience (but could be better)"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Smart Plugin Manager is really great for my clients who lack a dedicated employee to maintain plugins. Another nice feature: the warning system to alert customers when a plugin is found vulnerable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The support is now more AI-driven, which I understand too an extant, but there are times when you need to speak with a real human and that is more difficult to achieve now. Also, I think they should expand the storage allotment for basis accounts. It's tough to run dev and staging environments without going over the quota. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Zwirko of WP Engine

"WP Engine: Easy to Use Once You Learn the Ropes, with Unmatched Support"
5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine has a real ease of use once you learn the ropes! And in a worse-case scenario, the support is unmatched with prompt and helpful support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I don’t think I have enough experience with it yet to say what I dislike. That said, I do wish it were a bit easier to reference previous tickets when I’m dealing with an issue on the same site and chatting with support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support That Feels Like Part of My Team"
5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I’m using WP Engine to run the hosting portion of my new business. My rep and anyone I’ve ever talked with on chat has always been nothing but informative and helpful. They truly feel like an extension of my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The going live/adding a new domain process feels a little clunky. I’m never sure if the standard practice of running a search and replace is running or not. I often have to chat in to resolve dns issues going live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super Simple, Streamlined Hosting with Fast, Helpful Chat Support"
4/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Super simple and streamlined hosting solution. It's quick and easy to get website hosting set up and if you run into any issues, getting in touch with support through chat is super fast and they are always very helpful. We also haven't had any issues with downtime from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

It is perhaps not the most robust hosting platform - if you are running complex sites, you might need a hosting solution with more features or power in their hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"US-Based Support That Digs Deep and Delivers When Needed"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I am not trying to research and debug all the issues just by myself. I have a US based support system who can look deeper into the server than I am able and offer help and support when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Being one server, a bad bot will take down all sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support and Effortless Site Migration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Exceptional support staff. The responses given were personal and detailed to the situation at hand. Migrating my site was a super simple task. There were only a few, slight bugs in the process, but they were easily squashed by the amazing support team. I do greatly appreciate that they are well trained to Europe and U.S. standards, making communication also a breeze.

Also, any changes I needed made that I did not have access to were done promptly by their team. I mainly needed WPEngine due to its ease of setup in a multisite environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Not much here to be honest. I think the plugins are not needed as their are cheaper alternatives available, but otherwise very great experience, and our old site that we migrated received ~2 second increase for FPL and massively increased our LPL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
