WP Engine is the most advanced and intuitive Wordpress hosting and management platform we've used.
What do you like best about the product?
WP Engine's admin management is organized intuitively and automatically takes care of many of the issues that typically take marginal to extensive time and effort to solve on other platforms such as updates, migration and formatting. The hosting services, propagation and and migration have been virtually flawless. The WP Engine support is exceptional with regards to accuracy and responsiveness.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few if any negative aspects to the WP Engine platform. As the service grows it can sometimes be a chore to find an "available" development URL in the character count allowed, but this is typically very easy to solve with an alternate URL. There could be an additional service plan between the 10 site license and the 25 site license, or able to incrementally allow single site licenses to be added to bulk packages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine allows for transferrable and non-transferrable development sites that are say to access by clients for approval and surprisingly easy to migrate to other client hosting services or simply pushing live with WP Engine hosting using the base domain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have tried other services you know the challenges. Give WP Engine a try and you'll be immediately impressed with the admin management, speed and support of WP Engine.
Done for you!
What do you like best about the product?
You Don't have to think about speed and security of your website. WP engine takes care of Backups, looking after speed or plugin issues. And their service team is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their service is premium, but their pricing as well!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using WP Engine for my Website hosting a podcast as well as for my membership sites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great Service, very reliable, and high speed.
I'll Never Use Another Web Host Again
What do you like best about the product?
It's hard to pick just one thing I like best, since WP Engine is packed with features, but if I could pick one thing it is their amazing support. They are all experts in WordPress and will help you fix your website (even if it's your fault that it's broken). Even Rackspace doesn't come close to the level of service they provide.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike. I've been surprised a few times when a few side applications I am developing in the directory disappear without warning, but now I know it's an automated malware removal. Now I just notify them to protect any special subfolders I am working in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use WP Engine to manage all of our non-profits websites for marketing and lead generation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WP Engine is more expensive than your entry level hosts, but if you depend on your website significantly to stay in business, it's better to pay a little extra to ensure your website is secure, loads fast, and is properly backed up every night. Since we moved from Rackspace we started saving money right away, but even if we had upgraded from something like Host Gator, the investment would have paid for itself in a year, just to free up my time from managing all the websites.
WP Engine helps me sleep at night
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent support which is professional, fast and reliable is where WP Engine excels. Comibined with a great user interface, great uptime (99,99%) and competitive pricing makes WPE the perfect choice for our business.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to pinpoint a dislike, we've been over the moon with WPE so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine solved all problems surrounding hosting Wordpress sites. Hosting Wordpress sites is a very specialized sector of hosting websites as WP sites need to be constantly watched for security updates. WP Engine simplify that process immensely as well as providing excellent support and of course the most important factor, great uptime.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Elite hosting solution for wordpress sites. 99,999% uptime, pro-active service and support is real time, fast and professional.
The Best Hosting For WordPress
What do you like best about the product?
The support is great. Love the fact that they don't do email which just slows servers down, especially with spam.
What do you dislike about the product?
The back-end admin area is still confusing. With live sites, Transferable sites and staging sites, I'm still confused.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting clients on their own accounts with hosting has helped as opposed to my company hosting them through WPEngine.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CND built in. Backups built in. SSL built in.
Gold standard in WordPress hosting
What do you like best about the product?
Singluar focus on WordPress, nice simple administration UI and continuous improvement.
What do you dislike about the product?
It' more expensive than many other options, but ultimately for good reason so I don't mind the extra cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My website is a revenue producing site, so uptime and performance are critical. WP Engine is fast and super stable (I've had no downtime in the 3+ years I've been with WP Engine that I'm aware of) so I've never had to worry about the site performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely receommended. You won't regret the decision. One thing to add is that WPE has the people, funding and momentum to invest in continuous improvement. The performance of my site has seen a couple of noticeable improvements over the last few years as WP Engine has invested in better infrastructure and technology.
Our Go-To For Reliable and Fast Managed WordPress Hosting
What do you like best about the product?
The speed, performance and reliability of the hosting. I have to mention the tools included as well- specifically the ability to copy installs and the fully automated site migration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being that it's managed hosting it comes with a few hindrances like no SSH and configuration limitations, but that is not a WPEngine limitation, it comes standard with Managed Hosting and is necessary to maintain the positives of the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an agency we service, support and maintain well over 30+ WordPress site installs at any given time. WPEngine provides scalability and reliability to efficiently support our major and minor clients alike without increasing overhead on my support staff.
The game changing benefits to agencies like mine are:
Daily & on-demand backup / restore points
Automatic updates
One-click staging and production replication and deployment

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't believe that WP Engine is the right for a business or company that only has one or two websites. I don't think the cost-benefit efficiency exists for that case. However, if you are a company, freelancer or otherwise who needs to professionally support your websites and others, than WP Engine is the correct product choice for you.
I know the cost is up there, but compared to the competition in the marketplace, is it worth it and unbeatable.

Prompt Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like the 24-hour support and the initiatives to incorporate testing tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the most inexpensive option. You have to purchase hosting in blocks to get a discount meaning you're paying for space even when you're not using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reliable managed hosted that has superior security.
Managed Wordpress Hosting at its best.. Fast, Secure and Easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use to set up and maintain. The amazing customer service with great customer support people. The fact that the site is secure because it's maintained by professionals without having to pay for a professional full-time myself!
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that I don't have root access to my server to install some custom things.. but if I did, then the site would not be as secure and most likely not as fast, so it's a tradeoff I'm willing to live with!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WPEngine allows me to build and maintain a solid website that is becoming a social network with users able to share and comment on the news media and political landscape and WPEngine allows me to pull all of this off very inexpensively!
Rock solid infrastructure with outstanding support from real people.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about WP Engine is the support, hands down. Everyone from front-line CSRs to the higher tiers goes above and beyond to help resolve issues, and they're all extremely nice in the process. They live and breathe WordPress and that deep understanding of the CMS' application layer is very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having additional data centres available would be useful—particularly in China.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The managed service nature of WP Engine is a huge value add for our business. We're able to scale up our infrastructure quickly and in a very lean manner. I can rely on their team to maintain the infrastructure so my team can focus on building product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You'll be glad you did.
