Hosting has streamlined client projects and support now drives faster website delivery
Reviewed on Jul 30, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is when I have clients who need hosting for a website that I have just built. I would recommend them to go to WP Engine, and another good benefit is their support is very good, and it is very easy to set up staging websites, and they have minimal downtime.
Another good use case for WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is really to do with its backups and how it takes daily backups and also hourly backups because that has been more useful than I can imagine.
What is most valuable?
Its best feature is probably how quick it is to spin up new environments. Their support is also very good as well. Sometimes there is a bit of a queue to get hold of someone, but when you do, their support has always been great.
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform has probably been one of the best hosts that we have used. However, it is slightly more expensive, but that cost outweighs itself because the support and overall use of setting things up within the platform is much easier than others.
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform has saved us time because it is quicker to do things, but then that also means that we can add more clients to it. This has benefited both us in the sense of time and also cost. It has also benefited WP Engine to get more referrals.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes the support time or to get hold of someone is a very long time. Sometimes you can wait up to 30 or 40 minutes for someone, and you sometimes have to re-explain yourself quite a lot. Perhaps something on the front where they are able to get a quick summary of what has already been going on before spending more time asking things that I have already answered with the person before.
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is probably one of the best that I have seen so far, but there are areas where it could improve.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform for about four years, and I have used it in pretty much every agency that I have worked at, and I am even using it in my freelance jobs that I am doing on the side when I am not working in agencies.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is very scalable, and it is very easy to use from a scalable aspect.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is probably some of the best that I have seen.
In regards to WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform's staging environments, it takes about five minutes to spin it up, which is very quick. In regards to the support team, there was a time when we had a client who was having issues with the caching, and it basically was not saving data to a very specific form in the correct way. The support team literally went above and beyond to try and solve this.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before we were using SiteGround for hosting, but the reason why we switched is because SiteGround had a lot of downtime.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform's setup cost and licensing is very easy, but the pricing cost is sometimes more expensive than other hosting platforms. However, the cost of what you get in regard to the support, the speed, and the time saved sort of outweigh the cost.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did evaluate other options before choosing WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform, and we evaluated options such as SiteGround. We also evaluated Cloudways as well, which is probably on the same level as WP Engine.
What other advice do I have?
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform's governance and security is very good, and they are always seemingly on top of the security and keeping that at the forefront, which is very good.
It is good because WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform gives quick snapshots, but AI is in a position where you need to check what it gives you as the output. You cannot solely rely on it.
For instance, we started out with our WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform account as one user, and now we have 12 users on it because so many have moved to us.
I would definitely recommend getting a demo booked in with a salesperson for WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform, and they can walk you through the features and the different aspects that you will need. Depending on the size of the company that you are moving to WP Engine, you can have an account manager, and they can really help with some of the more complex issues and getting those resolved a little quicker than if you were to go with a bigger hosting provider. I rate my overall experience with WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform an 8 out of 10.

Centralized hosting has simplified managing 90+ sites and has improved visibility and workflows
Reviewed on Jul 30, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is that we host almost all of our company's websites on it; we have over 90 plus websites on WP Engine's hosting, and we use it to manage everything from staging and development environments to automated plugin updates.
A specific example of how I use WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform for one of our sites is that, as a developer, I utilize their GitHub Actions to deploy code to a development site, especially when working on a new site or a new feature to an existing site.
Delaware North has been a customer for a long time, and their customer support is the best I have ever experienced anywhere.
What is most valuable?
Some of the best features that WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform offers include daily automated backups of every site, which are valuable in case something goes wrong, and the Smart Plugin Manager feature that automatically updates your website's plugins while doing visual regression testing.
I appreciate that they have added reporting features and performance monitoring capabilities like Lighthouse scores to see how our sites are performing in terms of speed.
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform has positively impacted my organization by making it significantly easier to manage everything, allowing my team to manage all the websites in one platform where you're logged in and can manage any site you need to.
Specific outcomes I can share include overall visibility and transparency of things on a larger scale, allowing someone like myself or another team member to see the bigger picture regarding the performance of the server or the sites and all the activity going on.
What needs improvement?
One improvement I wish WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform could make is the ability to manage individual sites' users within each site since I would like to bulk manage the users specific to each site rather than just users of WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform for about six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is stable, as I do not remember any downtime over the seven years we have been with them that could be attributed to them, counting maybe just a few times on one hand.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is very scalable, as we recently upgraded our account, and the process was seamless; they doubled our memory, RAM, and everything we had to fit our current fleet of sites and ensure smooth performance.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support of WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is amazing, and it is the best in the business that I have seen or experienced.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform, we used Sitecore for all our sites, but we switched due to the massive cost per year for the Sitecore license and the need to get an outside developer for major changes or development work.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been straightforward, with pricing that I would expect, and our account manager is really great and upfront about costs without being too pushy or sales-oriented.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is to read their website, resources, documentation, and reviews; do your due diligence and believe the hype, as WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is the real deal.
If someone asked me who I would recommend, I would recommend WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform. I choose a 10 because to me, they are just the best; they are the leader in the whole space of managed WordPress hosting, continuously innovating and adding different AI solutions.
Regarding WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform's AI capabilities, I am not too sure about its governance and security as we provide our own API key and manage that ourselves, so I do not have much insight.
Regarding WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform's AI capabilities, its accuracy and reliability of output have been so far so good.
WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is deployed in our organization as public cloud since I log in to the user portal, which is just a subdomain on the WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform root domain. We utilize Google Cloud with WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform, but since WP Engine WordPress Digital Experience Platform is a managed hosting provider, we do not really get to pick.

Easy Backend and Version Control, but Performance and Plugin Conflicts Hold It Back
Reviewed on Jul 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use in the backend and ability to adjust version of the site you have saved.
What do you dislike about the product?
They sell you a server package but then it has performance issues and the plugins they give you to help speed up your site just add bloatware and conflict with plugins to cause more issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Web hosting and support to figure out whats happening is good but thats when you are able to get support.

Top-Notch Chat Support with Fast Responses
Reviewed on Jul 15, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Chat support is top notch and responds quickly when we have issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The wait times for support can be lengthy during the middle of the day, and most recently adding the TXT record requirement when pointing a DNS is a huge issue and slows us down a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine is solving a lot of technical problems for us at the server level and helping us provide better integrations for our client's websites.

WP Engine: Easy to Use Once You Learn the Ropes, with Unmatched Support
Reviewed on Jul 15, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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!
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
