What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

Everything just works. I don't need be a programmer/developer (which I am definitely not), and I can count on all the plugins working together. Any time I've had an issue (technical, billing, etc.), they have resolved the problem within the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

I got in early when they were starting out, so I was able to lock in at what is probably a better price than could be had now. Even though some hosting rates have gone up, the value keeps increasing. I will remain a happy customer for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They have streamlined the entire process of managing multiple websites. I can setup domains, hosting, and wordpress, for multiple sites all in one place. With their daily backups, and built-in staging, I can tinker to my heart's content knowing that everything is safe if I need to roll back. After trying shared hosting, I tried dedicated hosting, but the management was a bit over my head and took up a lot of my time. Whatever voodoo magic they're doing with their deployment of web resources is working wonders for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

WPMU Dev offers a lot! I have just transferred from my host as I was using the WPMU Dev pro plugins which I liked and thought it would be easier to do everything in one place.

The plugins are great but I am probably not using them to the full capacity. It's taken a while to realise what other plugins etc I can get rid of to replace with their functionality. For example, I was previously paying for a plugin that did subscriptions and I no longer need to do this as I have the forminator plugin now.

Whilst the pro plugins are great, the best thing is the customer service team. They are always immediately available and really helpful. This wan't the case with my last host. I would probably recommend transferring for the good customer service alone. It's a very rare thing to get skilled and responsive real people at a time when everyone else seems to be changing to automated bots. Please never change this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

WPMU Dev seems to be set up predominantly for people with an advanced level of technical knowledge. They offer a lot more than other hosting services, but this can make it quite overwhelming. They give you a lot more than my last host but it has been a steep learning curve. There is advice available but one bit of advice often links to another and you seem to have to read a lot to achieve things.

I am dyslexic and their text-based advice is difficult, it could be written in a more accessible way.

I'm not complaining about the level of the offer or service (that's great), but the advice seems to have been written by technical people who seem to make a lot of assumptions. The amount of things to consider and the pages and pages of guidance is overwhelming! The saving grace is the customer service team. They are fantastic and have guided me through everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

The staff on the chat line are amazing. I've been saved countless times by these guys and girls who talk me through complex applications. They are always friendly and willing to go the extra mile- including cleaning out the malware from an infected site and walking me through simple tasks like email setup. I feel like the annual fees are worth it, when i know i have someone super smart and knowledgable at the other end of the chat whenever something goes wrong with one of my blogs. Invaluable!

The plugins are also pretty amazing, and I like that they just keep getting better too. So many great little developments and tweaks to the plugins over the years, and each time it helps streamline my Wordpress plugins as I can keep them all with the same company and know they are easy to manage with the Wordpress interface or with the hub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

It's not a cheap product. I can see that might be difficult for some smaller blogs and hobby bloggers, but its worth taking the leap and spending the money on such efficient hosting providers, because of the additional help you get and the plugins. The advice alone would have cost me more if i had used fiverr over the past 12 months. So while it's not the cheapest product out there, the service and value add items they include for sure make it worth it in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before, I used a mainstream hosting provider, which was considerably cheaper, but they offered no assistance and the sites were always down. WPMUDEV has been wonderful providing amazing analytics about my sites and I can see when there are issues with uptime right away- it is vastly better managed and i feel like my websites are in safe hands with WPMUDEV.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

I am so grateful for the support team at WPMU Dev. From the plug-ins themselves optimizing my site to the expert back-ups, the service itself has been amazing. The support team has been pivotal in helping me to navigate and understand Wordpress better, and troubleshoot any challenges I have while optimizing security, storage, and any other issues that arise. They're an invaluable service and support team that has reduced so much stress, and is eager to step in to help with any need we have! Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

As a Wordpress noob, WPMU seemed complex at first - but their expert support team has truly skillfully navigated all my questions, and patiently walked me through. No complaints here :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use WPMU primarily for plug-in support, managing site back-ups, optimizing our imagery, and overall keeping the site running smooth. The plug-ins and service are superior and exactly what we needed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

As an established agency managing a large portfolio of over 250 websites, I am consistently on the lookout for top-tier support and services to meet the complex needs of my clients. Fortunately, I discovered WPMUDEV and have been thoroughly impressed with the level of expertise and professionalism demonstrated by their support team.

Their support staff are highly trained and have provided exceptional assistance in resolving any issues that arise. I am confident in their ability to manage any WordPress-related challenges that my clients may face, no matter how intricate or technical they may be.

In addition to their exceptional support, WPMUDEV offers a wide range of useful features, including powerful plugins and themes, uptime monitoring, and more. These tools have significantly improved my team's productivity and efficiency, ultimately saving us time and money.

Overall, I highly recommend WPMUDEV to any agency or individual looking for top-tier WordPress support and services. Their team's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to customer satisfaction are second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

Few things:

- there is no webmail yet

- there is only 1 email account included in quantum plan

- we can't set a lower php version than v8 on quantum plan (some cases require a lower version) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WPMUDEV is solving a variety of problems for me and my clients. As an agency managing over 250 websites, we face a range of challenges related to website maintenance, security, and performance optimization. WPMUDEV's suite of tools and services has been instrumental in addressing these issues, providing us with reliable and effective solutions that save us time and resources.

One of the key benefits of WPMUDEV is the range of professional plugins they offer. These plugins provide a wide range of features that are not typically available through standard WordPress installations. For example, they offer plugins for automated backups, malware scanning and removal, performance optimization, and much more. These plugins have been instrumental in streamlining our workflow, improving our site's functionality, and keeping our clients' websites secure.

In addition to the plugins, WPMUDEV also offers a range of other tools and services that have been beneficial to us. For example, they offer uptime monitoring to ensure that our clients' websites are always available to visitors. They also offer access to a team of WordPress experts who can assist us in resolving any technical issues that arise.

Overall, WPMUDEV has been a game-changer for us. Their suite of tools and services has allowed us to better manage our clients' websites, improve site performance, and enhance the overall user experience. I highly recommend WPMUDEV to anyone looking for professional-grade WordPress plugins and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

WPMU DEV support is second to none, over the years I have had dozens of conversations with support staff & it is rare that they can't resolve an issue or at the very least point me in the right direction to get my own answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

One main feature that is missing from WPMU DEV as an agency owner is the ability to have a team member be able to access the chat support to resolve problems for my customers. This means I am always inserted in the middle of troubleshooting processes as the account owner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Reliable hosting without shared hosting. It's nice to have a solid host that is backed by 24/7 instant support. I am never worried I will end up in a situation where I have to wait until the end of a weekend or until business hours the following day to get a resolution for a customer site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Deivydas Bumblis of WPMU DEV

Hey Brian,

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

There is a 24-hour live chat, with real knowledgeable experts at hand (not salespeople like other companies). The support you get from WPMU when you use their plugins and also their hosting is exceptional. Had a conversation with Luigi Di Benedetto on the live chat today, he was available immediately and resolved my issue in less than 10 minutes. I've never left a G2 review before, but a service like this compelled me to leave one! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

Nothing, but if I had to choose something, and I do because G2 forces you to, their suite of plugins if quite expensive if you are just running them on a single website. That said, for the support you get, I think it is worth every penny.

I did also report a bug in one of their plugins 'formulator', that makes it incompatible with the site 'clone' feature (also a wpmu feature). I reported that bug almost 2 years ago and I never heard back, so I have no idea if the bug was ever resolved or not. Either it was resolved and no one told me, so a follow-up would be nice. Or it is still not resolved, which also not great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The managed hosting is great, it means I don't have to worry about any of the settings or records or configuration. The support that you get it like have a developer team on hand 24/7 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WPMU DEV?

WPMU DEV offers all in one service with all the plugins needed. I have been using Bluehost until now, and I've had to have accounts on different platforms to accommodate my website needs. Moving to WPMU DEV was the best decision! I'm not a tech person, and I worried it might be too complicated. It's not difficult; the best part is that the customer service guys are amazing. Whatever I asked for help with, they've been so helpful!

I would highly recommend WPMU DEV to anyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WPMU DEV?

Everything looks very complicated at first for a non-tech person.

However, there are articles for everything in the Help section, and the customer service is great. The chat is 24/7, and the guys are speedy and competent in every aspect. They have always been ready to help me with all my queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm using WPMU DEV hosting and all the plugins. The customer service guys helped me change my hosting provider to them, improve the website speed, and solve all errors I've had so far. The guys even let me know about options with the hosting plan that I wasn't aware of, like a free multisite that can help me with the website management and hopefully increase my Google visibility once I've completed the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
