Powerful, secure, and excellent for running my agency and hosting my clients with
What do you like best about the product?
Top feature is being able to have my template site with all of my settings, base code, etc. all ready to go. And can create new sites for new clients directly from that template site in one click. Such a time-saver right from the beginning.
I can also upgrade to my own server and host all my clients on their super convenient platform with quick ways to manage their sites, restore sites, deploy back and forth from a staging site for each client, and most importantly never worry about security of my client's sites because it is so tight and always backed up with quick restore points. And then the speed enhancements like CDN and server cache are great as well.
Support has always been very responsive and helpful with any needs as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
They do disallow a few plugins due to performance degredation and/or security, but I prefer faster, more secure sites so haven't had any really problems with it. Also wish I had a way to set up my own cacheing exceptions. Currently support has to take care of adding those.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think I touched on it already. But systemetizing new site setup for new clients (by duplicating template sites) and easily manage many client's sites are big ones.
Also the reason I originally looked at it was the security. That is my original top concern considering the issues on other hosting providers I've been with.

The best Wordpress hosting out there
What do you like best about the product?
Everything. Speed, security, backups, updates,...
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is somewhat high, but you get what you pay for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I always had issues with speed and when my site was breached in the previous hosting service I had (on the Linux level), I decided to switch due to lack of responsiveness.
Never had such issues at WP Engine. They give me the peace of mind I need for the third year in a row.

Use them. Don't go anywhere else.
Great service
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to be able to call WP Engine or live chat any time of the day or night. The support staff are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
It's only the safety and security that WP Engine provides that enables me to run hosting packages on behalf of clients with confidence. The Staging environment is particularly useful and easy to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! (it's expensive, but I think it's worth it)

Managing hosting for clients.

Always amazing service and support
What do you like best about the product?
WPE is there to help, whenever needed, and always gets any issue I have resolved quickly and easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mandatory cache while in development can cause some issues. The cost can be a hard sell for clients who only look at dollars. But see below.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I maintain and work on a lot of wordpress sites. WPE offers the best managed hosting I have used, which keeps wordpress secure yet still fully functional. The benefits of this are time and money saved for my clients, time and money not spent, say, unhacking a site, or, manually reinstalling WP or reverting to older versions. WPE has saved me many hours, and my clients literally (at least) hundreds of dollars just this year alone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for wordpress hosting, IMO they are the best. They cost more, compared to cheap hosts, but, the time and money saved with the build-in features alone will more than make up for the cost difference.
Without question, the best WordPress host on the market today
What do you like best about the product?
WordPress is everywhere for good reason — it works, and it's easy for anyone to get started. But anyone who has used WordPress at a enterprise level knows it also comes with many limitations.
Thankfully, WordPress seems to be 'growing up', and WP Engine is right on the cutting edge of this effort. Top-notch support (both live chat and phone) by engineers who actually know what they're doing, developer-grade tools like git access and automated staging deployments, and of course bullet-proof infrastructure with regular updates.
I have used WordPress on both standard servers and other 'Managed' hosts. WP Engine has always come out at the top, and I now bring any new projects here by default.

What do you dislike about the product?
I appreciate that blacklisted plugins exist to keep the platform healthy, but for this price I expect some degree of leeway (and a better process for reconsideration when plugins are updated).
The default caching configuration is generally sensible, but some especially advanced implementations will require working with the support team since there are no user-level configuration options.

Headache-free hosting for various web properties. We don't have to spend time thinking about infrastructure and security.
The best managed WordPress hosting platform I have come accross
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like best about WP Engine is that they have excellent support. I've used them for over 2 years in a corporate website setting and they have never let me down. They make my job a lot easier and the price point is more than affordable.
I also like their daily backups, system for creating FTP accounts, and easy-as-pie process for adding certs to the site (you call them and they do it for you).

What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about WPEngine. If I were to stretch for a criticism, i would have to say that they could do a better job marketing themselves. I've seen a lot of review sites that don't include them when they should be at the top of the list. I would think that there is room for some differentiation with regard to product offering as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There was a time when an organization needed a back-end web developer and/or system administrator to ensure that all web systems ran properly. With WP Engine that is no longer the case. I have found that the combination of a WordPress CMS and WP Engine enables front-end only administration in most cases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Even though WP is the most popular WCMS by far, worldwide, some professional organizations are still hesitant to use it for their primary web presence. WP Engine alleviates the anxiety associated with doing this. I would recommend most businesses to give it a try considering to price of entry (which is pretty low).
Best Wordpress Hosting. Period.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that WPEngine only focuses on Wordpress hosting. When a company focuses on just one CMS, then you get experts on that CMS. Everything just works and if you have an issue, their chat support is quick and thorough, solving your issue quickly,
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not really much not to like. Their pricing is higher than most, but it's well worth the value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WPEngine stays on top of security risks on the Wordpress platform and heads those off. There is also tremendous value in being able to spin up a Wordpress instance in the matter of minutes which makes building websites extremely fast. The automated daily backups are also like an insurance policy on your site so in the rare case you blow up your site, you are not spending a ton of time backtracking and recovering.
Simple powerful hosting for amazing security for your WordPress creations
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of use and security which we use daily, issues can be rolled back instantly and new designs and development can be worked on in staging before deployment.
New deployments are quick and easy to release and all options are right there in the dash like php My Admin.

What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is higher than other solutions but this is something which we sell to our clients as a premium product. We sometimes find caching issues on some sites where we have to keep purging the cache to ensure changes are revealed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My previous hosting was on a virtual server which I managed via Plesk which was time consuming and at times difficult to manage. Back ups are daily with WP Engine along with the use of staging which we use to test new creation before deployment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When looking to host your WordPress website WP Engine gives you the confidence that your creation is going to be safe and secure. With daily backups, instant roll back and staging sites this hosting supplier truly is the only supplier to consider.
Thrilled with WPEngine
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy, but still great access to all the back-end stuff I need like PHPMyadmin, SFTP etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to migrate with one step, but feels like that is asking a lot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple Wordpress sites on Amazon AWS
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, great price, feature set and support.
My day job is in marketing communications; I freelance for small clients developing custom themes
What do you like best about the product?
Stellar service. Not only do they explain the issue and how it's resolved, but they actually do it for you in many cases. I have yet to get support like this from any company of any kind. Support usually answers quickly and follow up when necessary. Aside from the support, the platform is just snappy. I have noticed a big difference when switching sites to WPengine. Even though I'm a relatively small fry, their service treats me like VIP.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing is LiveChat wait time during peak hours is creeping a bit longer, but this is obviously a sign pointing towards an uptick in business. That uptick is because WPengine is a great company to work with and rely on for critical hosting needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Excellent support, which mitigates any issues or downtime as quickly as possible. I never feel like I'm put on the back burner, and this makes me look great for my clients. Also, when sites respond and load quickly, it saves me precious time that I'm able to put out other fires with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As of 4/2017, WPENGINE provides excellent hosting, is regularly introducing new and useful features, and it's all backed with stellar support. Whether you're a small fish or a huge company, WPENGINE always seems to deliver VIP-level product and support. Very High Quality.
