What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

Full house service capabilities so that we don't need to employ those extra staff to handle technical queries. They are great at technical support for Wordpress. We like that we can hand off a lot of services to WPMUDEV. Wish they would charge Australian dollars instead of USD, because the exchange rate is horrendous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

Lately WPMUDEV has started charging for additional services which were included in the past. While I understand the commercial reasons for this, it is a bit cheeky for those that have been longtime investors in their platform and services.

New email service offerings on the hosting plans are not up to other company offers. For example, they only offer 100MB accounts and IMAP which cannot compete with other hosting companies email services provided with hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WPMU DEV solving and how is that benefiting you?

Employing unnecessary staff. Reduces our agency overheads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

Swift and never shy of rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in. Ever ready to solve problems and share ownership of the issue with you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

Having to say what I dislike about them - that's a time waste trying to dream up something that just doesn't exist Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WPMU DEV solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm a self-confessed hoarder of WP plugins and some project are well in excess of 100+ installations. This often leads to sticky issues surrounding compatibliity. Whenever there is a clash which causes a crashing-halt to productivity, I call on the help of WPMUDEV. Their WP developer experts never fail to humble themselves to helping out with my sometimes menial requests and switch my project to being back online. Priceless intervention and when it matters the most. Thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

The Live Chat support is fantastic. They usually go above and beyond to assist in more complex matters. The only support I have experience that has rivaled this was with WP Engine's Enterprise plans, but WPMU DEV is a considerably cheaper alternative with a more rounded and always expanding service offering.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

I rely on the entire collection of WPMUDev's products and services for my freelance work. It's worth the cost in every way. The best part is the excellent and easily accessible support, which has saved me time and headache more than once - with a special mention for Fida, who helped me with a down site tonight.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

I only wish I could link to my bank's credit card payment system for customer invoicing which has lower fees, rather than using Stripe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WPMU DEV solving and how is that benefiting you?

The dashboard management makes it easy for me to manage all my clients' sites from one place, saving me time and effort. And I feel secure knowing that WPMU's technical support is so easily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

WPMU's Alfredo L. was a ohenomenal help to me today. I was freaking out about some broken images that were a cause of a new Woocommerce update that conflicted with my Flatsome theme. I'm NOT a developer and run a very small fledgling company (for now). On my checkout pages, the credit card icons were not displaying, which could cause a potential customer to be skeptical about the legitimacy of my site. He walked me through a number of scenarios, provided screenshots that helped me undersatnd what was happening and spent quality time on my issue.

Needless to say, he fixed the issue and was a pleasure to work with. If he is representive of the rest of the WPMU Dev team, then I highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

The only thing that I found to be slightly agitating was trying to find how I could get into live chat support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WPMU DEV solving and how is that benefiting you?

I believe that I just stated that in my review of today's problem and issue that was solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

When you run a small business, the need for easy-to-use product with stable and quick support is big!

Every time I contact WMPU DEV their support teamis patient, answering all questions, and even offer to do some technical stuff for me.

It's great to have their manuals and how-to-guides, but sometimes the time isn't there to read through them. Then it's nice to have support that explains short and simple what to do, and if needed they go in and help themselves.

Thanks for a great service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

Nothing I have experienced, not even after 2-3 years of using WPMU DEV on different sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WPMU DEV solving and how is that benefiting you?

Specially DNS issues, and also when migrating domains and websites they are always very helpfull. They help me prep the migration and complete it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

What I like most is the ability to quickly and easily perform maintenance actions on multiple sites at once. I don't like to enable automated plugin updates on client sites since this can lead to broken functionality on occasion. Instead, I manually update once per week unless there is a security risk which requires me to update sooner. With the WPMU DEV Dashboard, I can select all updates across all sites and update with one click. It's amazing.

It's a very similar situation for security, performance, SEO, and backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

I wish that there was the ability to manage non-WordPress sites to some extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WPMU DEV solving and how is that benefiting you?

WordPress sites require plugins to enable certain functions with ease, however, there are often updates, security risks, performance impacts and more associated with each plugin. This tool allows me to manage all of these aspects with ease.

One of the most useful features is being able to automate tasks and receive reports after. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

The tech support is superior. Working with 5 other hosting companies, I have never experienced such comprehensive tech support. For hosting and domain support all the way down to website troubleshooting. They are very patient and full of knowledge and quick. Aside from them having a ton of features making their service almost priceless, I would still choose them over them competition just because of their technical support alone. They have saved my projects life many times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

No full control over what you can install and store on your hosting server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WPMU DEV solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing a way to streamline the onboarding of new clients very effectively. A new client can purchase their hosting, domain, webmail and professional retainer services all through your reseller site. Eliminates the need to walk clients through the complexities of other companies websites while receiving a profit as well for your hard work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

I started with the formulator plugin to create applications for people to fill out online. Super easy to install and very manageable. I ended up upgrading and getting the full suite of plugins after I realized I'd been slowly installing them over the years. Easy and makes my website more relevant as I learn more how to use the tools. I had to use customer support for a simple thing I didn't understand and they were super cool and didn't make me feel stupid. I'll probably use it frequently to help people find my website. The whole suite integrated directly into my wordpress site and looks and feels natural. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

My wife thinks I'm a tech genius and wants me to do more website stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WPMU DEV solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed an easy way to add an application form to my site. I needed it to be legally binding and send pdf copies to both parties. This was an easy and friendly solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
