Best Wordpress Hosting company - in the world.
What do you like best about the product?
Support: Best in class. They are quick to respond, they do not use call centers and are extremely knowledgeable and proficient. They do not upcharge to fix most issues and are very helpful in every aspect.

The only caveat is the price. They are not by any means the cheapest hosting, but the service and reliability of uptime make it a non-issue the majority of the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having any issues with them whatsoever. The main benefits are speed, reliability, support structure, and the fact that they are US based all insure for great service.
Solid Hosting Option for WordPress
What do you like best about the product?
WP Engine offers a reliable hosting platform with excellent customer service. It's easy to connect with support by chat and their staff is both friendly and helpful. The website management dashboard is easily navigable and it's fairly easy to find everything you need to manage your various websites. We have 11 sites currently set up on WP Engine and we've been very satisfied with its performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. We're very satisfied with the product and service so far. You will pay more than you would for some of their competitors, but the value they provide is worth it to us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have 11 websites set up on WP Engine and it has been a great resource. It helps us keep our WordPress sites up-to-date and provides a secure, reliable backup for all of our websites.
WPEngine does not seem to care
What do you like best about the product?
Customizability in features and offerings.
What do you dislike about the product?
- All views expressed in this review is my own and not represented of the company --
Well, where to start. We've taken over a WPEngine plan that was in the responsibility of our DevOps team and in our initial contract, we were overcharged in our plan based on our actual consumption by 300% and had a poorly-designed hosting architecture, which WPEngine failed to tell us about due to it being "competitive." We've been having issues that cause outages on our production sites, and this is due to WPEngine's implementation of different WordPress tools and functions such as updates - something essential for moving to a WP MSP. To top it all off, our account manager doesn't know how to help us and is recommending that we go to advanced support plan (more money) to fix architectural issues of there implementation of Wordpress hosting for us - not ideal. It just doesn't seem like the account manager cares that they might potentially lose our business and it really is a bad experience all around.
I came from a WordPress hosting company and SaaS agency so this review might be biased, but boy oh boy this is horrible.

Hosting, that's about it. Managed services are poorly architected.
Rock Solid Hosting with Attention to Security and Performance
What do you like best about the product?
WPEngine routinely updates its infrastructure to make sure that your site is running on the best-fit version of PHP and WordPress. They encourage and auto-update installations to keep you from lagging on security, and if you have a plugin with a known security issue, they notify you. I feel like my sites are safer on WPEngine. I have also never had a problem getting their support people on chat, and they work hard to resolve whatever issues arise.
What do you dislike about the product?
You pay for what you get. WPEngine isn't the cheapest solution out there. Recently they've also been adjusting their models and offering new services which don't quite fit my use case as well as the older models. They've been good about respecting existing customers and keeping us where we're happy, but at some point, I'll probably have to reevaluate our package with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've solved our website hosting and been able to grow and develop our presence. Like I said above, I feel more secure on this platform, and I still have lots of room to grow and develop our web presence in whatever directions we need to.
Nicely organizes all of our sites into one succinct place.
What do you like best about the product?
Able to see everything in one dashboard. Works so I can simply log in and update everything at once rather than keeping hundreds of usernames and passwords on sticky notes around my office.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup of everything wasn't as easy as I would've liked, but still very intuitive all things considered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping all of my sites organized, up to date, compliant, and top of mind. Without this program I would surely forget about some backburner sites we tend to.
The best hosting specialized for WordPress websites
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple managing the websites, everything is on one click such as free SSL, free CDN, backups, staging-production sync...
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very expensive for hosting a small number of websites. there is no cPanel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In addition to hosting more than 200 sites on VP Engine, we managed to restore the deleted instance after few days and that saved the reputation of our company.
Easy Multi Site Management
What do you like best about the product?
The automatic updates for plugins with a visual check for errors
What do you dislike about the product?
manual creation of Dev, Test, and PRD sites
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily manage multiple client sites and keep their WordPress up to date and secure.
OK for starting with hosting, pricey for scaling
What do you like best about the product?
It's been a while, but after their Studiopress acquisition, you can use tons of Free Templates from WPEngine (which otherwise you would generally had to pay - considering the template quality)
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing gets way higher as you scale, apart from that they're awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits of using WPEngine include how you can enable SSL & CDN etc., quite easily.
Plus, moving things between Dev, Staging & PROD environments make the Development, Testing & Implementation process way more manageable.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a Hosting Service, where the Support Team is always there for helping you in case you face any issues; then give it a try :)

What do you like best about the product?
Their platform is specifically designed for WordPress sites. The servers, security — all of it is specific to this platform, which makes for a fast and extremely secure network.
What do you dislike about the product?
We honestly don't have any complaints about WP Engine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine's easy-to-use dashboard makes it easy to pull backups before making WordPress updates. The inclusions of an SSL certificate with the site provide great value and savings to our clients. Their customer support is timely and extremely helpful.
I use WP Engine on a daily basis. Great product!

WP is easy to navigate, easy to use group think, and easy to build out pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes WP will jump down pages when i'm editing or saving which causes some frustration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Website building specifically. We host nearly all of our pages on WP. The benefits are WP is fairly easy to use, and complex pages can be made in about 10 minutes.
