Best of Class for WordPress Sites
What do you like best about the product?
With WP Engine, sites rarely go down, migration is easy, and they provide a ton of great tools for managing your sites.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little more on the pricier side compared to standard hosting packages, and bandwidth can play a larger role in your plan than you may realize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With tools like WP Local, WP Engine makes building and deploying sites in a consistent and controlled environment straightforward. Daily backups ensure if anything ever goes wrong, you can click a button and go back to before the issue arose.

I have been using WPEngine for my WordPress hosting needs for the last six years and have been extremely satisfied with the service. The platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it simple to manage client websites. The customer support team is also top-notch, always available to assist with any issues or concerns.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's worth noting that some users may find the pricing higher than other hosting providers, especially for small or personal websites. Additionally, WPEngine only supports WordPress and doesn't offer other website-building options. This can be an issue for users who want to use a different platform or have multiple websites on various platforms.

Some of their caching can interfere with Woocommerce, but this can be overcome by asking them to exclude certain pages from their caching.

Always my go-to vendor
What do you like best about the product?
WP Engine is always there to help us navigate complex hosting environments and monitor our sites. Can't recommend this platform enough for all of your WordPress hosting needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
A rigid devops or webops process is not implemented with WP Engine and this can be tricky depending on how much control your individual developers have to push new code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine support is always there, 24/7, and it's huge. They go above and beyond to help us understand the situation and always work with us until the issue is completely sorted.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solved security loopholes with WP and page load issues clients would have.
Solid product, great support, lacking some developer-friendly features
What do you like best about the product?
WPEngine's support is some of the best I've come across in the tech space, and I've had a very positive experience with their pre-sales team, looking to identify solutions that work for an agency hosting hundreds of sites. The hosting is solid and performs well, and I've never had a security breach on a site hosted with WPEngine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although WPEngine has definitely improved its advanced developer tools over time (such as remote Git deployment, MySQL access and WP CLI/SSH access), the infrastructure is very opinionated and makes more advanced deployment scenarios difficult. Notably, the speed of the SSH gateway is slow compared to competitors and git isn't available within the remote shell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting hundreds of WordPress sites, from simple "brochureware" sites to high traffic WooCommerce stores.
Over promised and under delivered
What do you like best about the product?
Adding new websites was simple but their cloudflare integration (that costs 250/m) was a complete waste of money and just an upsell. I highly recommend not purchasing any of their addons
What do you dislike about the product?
I was promised a scalable server for my growing web agency when I signed up for hosting with WP Engine. Only after I migrated 45 websites over to their hosting platform, I found that my server was not scalable. Every website on the server I paid $750/m for was painfully slow within the WP Admin area and every time I tried to reach out to support, I didn't get answers and got passed off to the next support person. Support ticket after support ticket and it took months for them to get back to me with no solution. When I tried to contact my sales rep about it, he at first blew me off by saying he would look into it, and then it took a couple of months later (after I followed up several times, he setup a call between myself and his boss. The call fell short, and they said there is nothing they could do to help me other than 'look into temporarily increasing the server performance".
Understanding that the team at WP Engine did not care about my sites or my 750/m, I migrated everything away to Gridpane and a custom server setup that is actually scalable. In my opinion, WP Engine is not worth the money. They have gotten too big and have forgotten about the smaller agencies and customers that got them to where they are. I highly recommend checking out other hosting options before you move more than one website over to WP Engine.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They solved no problem and offered no benefit to me and my agency. We ended up leaving WP Engine after less than 6 months of use because of lack of performance and support
