Marketer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An Essential Tool for Your Tool Box" January 27, 2022 5.0 Pros WP websites can get high maintenance especially when your old customers start to modify settings, or when their new intern is a marketing enthusiast. And the best part is that you just pay for what you use. Highly recommend it. Cons The uptime notification even for one site is a part of paid plans. Alternatives considered [Datadog](https://www.capterra.com/p/135453/Datadog-Cloud-Monitoring/) Reason for choosing ManageWP I asked a couple of people who were using it, and they all agreed that it's a "set it and forget it" service. Review Source JV Joseph V. CTO Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A MUST HAVE for admins with multiple simple installs" May 29, 2024 5.0 It has been a time saver. I am able to fine tune the individual sites and monitor any potential issues from one platform. Pros I really like the new feature that allows for enabling and disabling of auto-updates for specific plugins. Cons None. I used to have issue with auto-updates but it has since been resolved by the addition of a feature to choose which plugins to include in auto-updates. Alternatives considered [Jetpack](https://www.capterra.com/p/234833/Jetpack/)[Barracuda Backup](https://www.capterra.com/p/112950/Barracuda-Backup-Service/)[Zoho Vault](https://www.capterra.com/p/240510/Zoho-Vault/)[Jet Backup for WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/201034/Backup-Guard/)[WordPress Portal](https://www.capterra.com/p/213122/WordPress-Portal/) Reason for choosing ManageWP It has the most streamlined interface with relevant features at a better price. Switched from [Jetpack](https://www.capterra.com/p/234833/Jetpack/) Less fluff more stuff. Jetpack had too many little unwanted features and a bunch of individual 'pro' extensions adding up to tons more money and monthly billing. Review Source JD Joshua D. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ManageWP has Lost the Plot — Clients Looking for Friendlier Services" October 16, 2025 1.0 Overall, it was great until they were purchased by GoDaddy. That's almost as bad as being purchased by MicroSoft! It's the kiss of death, because you are no longer in relationship with human beings, but a massive system in which your concerns are no longer necessary — and your years of support count for nothing. It's time to find a smaller, hungrier company that cares about its customers — for instance, MalCare. Now, there's a business that cares about its customers! After 10+ years of loyalty, if we need a few weeks to square up with them, they are happy to comply, because they realize that running a small agency can be a precarious undertaking. There will be months when you struggle to make a profit, and in the end, their loyalty & customer service pay off for them. Pros We loved the first 9 years of using ManageWP, before they were purchased by GoDaddy.com, and before they lost the personal, human touch they were known for previously. They weren't perfect, but they did their best, and we felt valued as customers. Cons Once they were purchased by GoDaddy, the level of performance noticeably dropped even as their behavior became less forgiving and more dismissive. For instance — a few days late on payments? All of your account services will be individually disabled, requiring hours of setup time to re-enable. For a small agency, this is unforgivable — we don't always have time to read our emails, and after 12+ years of loyalty, it's sad to realize that not only is our business not important to them, they'd be happy to see us fail if it means a few more pennies. Whatever happened to customer appreciation? What about 10 years of supporting their business faithfully? Sorry pal.... it's the rules. It's a big club and you ain't in it. Better luck next time!

Freelancer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One dashboard for all Wordpress websites monitoring" August 15, 2022 5.0 For my most important websites I have daily backup, paid security check and uptime monitoring. Incredibly affordable. I get a simple overview of released updates and alerts about important security patches. I don't have to visit every single website but get a good overview from Managewp. Pros An incredibly stable service to easily monitor and maintain Wordpress sites. Updates and backups are easily managed and I can easily roll back an update that went wrong. Incredibly affordable and many basic features are free. Been using them for almost a decade and they just keep getting better. The support is amazing, thumbs up! Cons The reporting system would need an overhaul. Difficult to make attractive to the end customer and takes a long time to modify. Switched from [MainWP](https://www.capterra.com/p/239908/MainWP/) Better overview with Managewp. Don't have to dedicate a website for the administration. Managewp have better backup and security services. Review Source Ralf T. Webdeveloper and Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Managing 50 WordPress sites" October 19, 2021 5.0 I used to update clients WordPress sites manually. And at a certain size I was no longer able to do this and needed a simpler solution. ManageWP allows me to check, update and backup all sites from one single dashboard Pros From one single dashboard I can upgrade and update all my WordPRess sites. Cons There is nothing I do not like. Its one of the rare perfect tools Alternatives considered [Jetpack](https://www.capterra.com/p/234833/Jetpack/) Reason for choosing ManageWP A lot cheaper and far easier to use as well. And it works every time. Review Source Abby B. Agency Owner, Web Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Managing multiple WordPress sites - cannot live without" June 28, 2021 5.0 Absolutely amazing. Any time I've needed support, they have gone above and beyond. Not always super fast to get back to me, but when it's been urgent they have responded within a few hours. Pros The pricing structure is awesome - you only pay for what you need and not for extras you don't need. There's a ton you can automate - set and forget. There's SO MUCH you can do - all from one place - more than just update plugins. The "Clone this Site" is my favorite - when All-in-One WP whatever fails/timeout - when Siteground's Migrator times out - ManageWP's Clone feature ALWAYS works. Cons really my only complain is the notification when a site gets disconnected from ManageWP, or when it returns a 500 instead of 200. I NEED to know this info ASAP. Reason for choosing ManageWP There's really nothing else like it. Esp not with the options to leave some sites on basic/free stuff and have other sites suped up with all the bells & whistles. Review Source Tony S. CEO Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "MANAGEWP is awesome. Its like a spce ship control panel." October 10, 2022 5.0 It is an excellent tool for any wordpress owner and will definitely save you time and for anyone with multiple sites it is a lifesaver! Pros while it is great for single sites, I manage hundreds of sites and as the CEO it makes my job easy to track our clients, protect them and provide great feedback every month on what we did to maintain their site. Cons None that I have found so far. I have 342 sites loaded in this plugin and it allows me to categorize my types of sites and makes it easy for me to track clients and inhouse sites. Reason for choosing ManageWP functionality, ease of use admin panel and pricing Review Source Mike B. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easiest way to manage many WordPress sites" February 16, 2022 5.0 I manage over 40 WordPress websites and I could not do it without ManageWP Pros This is an easy way to manage many WordPress sites, with the power of WP Manage. Manual installation: It's straightforward and quick - just follow these steps! Auto-backups and so much more. Cons Can't think of any, there are so many different features that are useful Alternatives considered [WPMU DEV](https://www.capterra.com/p/234645/WPMU-DEV/) Reason for choosing ManageWP Price and feautures Review Source Bill H. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Must Have Tool if You Manage Multiple Websites" November 24, 2020 5.0 Without manage wp, I'd have to spend hours logging into each website individually every week to update themes, plugins, and to monitor the security and health of the website. ManageWP means that process takes minutes. I can also moderate comments on multiple sites and so much more. It's an essential tool. Pros ManageWP makes it easy for me to oversee updates, performance, security, backup, and management for over a dozen websites. I love that I can get paid features on an ala carte basis for my business and client websites as well as oversee personal blogs and other less critical websites and only pay for the features I need on the websites I need them for. Cons While it's great to have a 20k foot view of all the websites I manage, in some cases, a wide-angle view isn't the best. For example, the master traffic/analytics view shows all sites combined and there's no ability to filter out particular sites or group them. If I managed a group of websites for one particular company, it is nice to see if traffic is trending up or down overall. However, if I'm also managing unrelated client sites, that statistic is useless. Review Source KV Kobus V. Owner Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product" May 8, 2023 5.0 Pros Easy to administer and manage. Also customisation is very easy and user friendly. Cons Not really. Very comprehensive platform. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Responsable de Marketing Online & e-commerce Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Una Buena herramienta si gestionas varias webs de wordpress" November 13, 2022 5.0 Pros Lo que más nos gusta es que desde un mismoPanel puedes actualizar los plugins de todas las webs que tengas de wordpress, además de crear copias de seguridad en tiempo real y restaurar las copias con un solo click. Una fantástica herramienta. Cons Es una herramienta 10, no hay nada que me disguste de esta herramienta, llevamos años trabajando con ella Review Source MF Montse F. diseño web Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Genial herramienta para pequeñas agencias de mantenimiento web" June 15, 2023 5.0 Lo llevamos usando años y sin ningunproblema , ni de fiabilidad ni de rendimiento. Pros El control y report posterior de las actualizaciones de los sitios web de WordPress. Luego tiene funcionalidades que pueden activarse por cliente, lo cual es muy cómodo y afecta solo a ese cliente en su cuota de mantenimiento. Cons Que no sirva para Prestashop por ejemplo. Review Source AS Aitor S. Owner and self employed Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to manage multiple websites" December 18, 2023 4.0 Pros It is easy to start updates in multiples websites with one click. You also have a lot of useful plugins as backups. Cons Pricing. There are free alternatives that perform the same basic function. Alternatives considered [MainWP](https://www.capterra.com/p/239908/MainWP/) Reason for choosing ManageWP ManageWP was the fist software I used to manage multiple websites so I already have some websites configured. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Partner Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I resell and use this daily." October 6, 2020 5.0 It has been game changing for customer uptime there is no going back and rebuilding. Pros This is our favorite service out there. The absolute thing that makes you look like a superhero is the online backups. One click restore when a client messes something up makes you look like a genius. Cons I can not name a single con with this product at all they give you a very generous about of product for the money. Review Source CE Chris E. Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reduced our churn rate and increased our margins" July 28, 2021 5.0 Pros It reduces the amount of work we have to do and makes managing 2 to 100+ websites a breeze. The white-label reporting feature has reduced our churn rate by adding a visual to the "behind the scenes" work we do for them each week. The overall use of ManageWP has also helped reduce cost so that we can provide more services and affordable prices. Cons The product/company was acquired by GoDaddy. That is my biggest complaint. If there was another product that compared to it on the market, we'd probably switch, but there is not. It is still the industry leader! Reason for choosing ManageWP Price and features.

Pros Que puedes gestionar múltiples sitios webs con WordPress desde un dashboard único, lo que mejora la eficiencia del tiempo. Cons Le diseño de la herramienta es un poco anticuado y algo confuso al principio. Review Source SE Stefanos E. Cloud consultant, trainer and author Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ManageWP review" November 17, 2020 4.0 I have been using ManageWP before its aquisition from Godaddy. I am very happy with its overall approach to managing multiple sites of Wordpress from a single pain of glass thus minimizing the overall administrative effort. Pros I enjoy the efficiency ManageWP provides by allowing to manage all my Wordpress sites from a single Web-based interface. Also it is good to enjoy a lot of free features, such as the security scan and the free backups. Cons I would like to see more features available in the free plan, such as for instance the site uptime notification feature. Also sometimes there are issues when trying to connect with certain WP sites if not using the ManageWP connection plugin, especially when the WP site has a custom login URL which replaces the default wp-admin URL.

December 1, 2023 4.0 Pros It's very easy to setup and makes it very quick to update large amounts of sites at once Cons The system can take time to sync if you have alit of sites Review Source Suley T. Digital Marketing Manager Graphic Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing tool for managing WordPress websites! " April 11, 2022 5.0 Love it - saves time, makes it easy to keep track of your projects and best of all, its FREE for the basic features which suits me down to the ground. Pros I found out about ManageWP from a YouTube video I saw, and have never looked back since. It's made managing multiple WordPress sites so easy for me and has saved me multiple hours each week. Cons Sometimes the plugin seems to disconnect from the WordPress website, but that could also be down to the hosting provider going down as opposed to ManageWP. Review Source SP Simon P. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Superb software for remote management of multiple websites" April 6, 2022 5.0 ManageWP allows myself as a developer and offering maintenance services on client websites to do so with ease. The amount on offer with the free version is exceptional - can maintain plugins and themes, run security checks, performance checks and monitor uptime. When looking for a solution, ManageWP ticked all the boxes and saved a lot of time and effort. Pros Very easy to implement and use. Performs tasks with absolute minimum of fuss. Huge timesaver when maintaining and updating multiple websites. Offers a lot in the free version that other competitors charge for. Cons Occasionally get error messages suggesting the website or plugin has not been successfully updated, when checking the website, update is complete. Review Source WO William O.

May 5, 2022 5.0 I am happy with ManageWP, it is inexpensive, and does things for me automatically most of the time. Pros In one spot, I can access and manage all of my WP websites. This is so much easier than logging each separately. Cons I don't think I have a CON to mention. I works great, for me! Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing ManageWP Using WordPress solo, I had to login into each of my websites separately. With ManageWP, I log in once and can do everything I need to do. Review Source KB Kristi B. CEO Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does the job. " December 9, 2023 5.0 It does the job, would be awesome if more user friendly. Pros Alerts and downtime monitoring are critical to our work.

SaaS Admin Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for update deployment across multiple sites" August 15, 2022 5.0 ManageWP has saved my backside on multiple occasions with backups and the ability to restore. Pros LOVE the ability to see what needs to be updated across multiple sites and deploy updates at once. Cons Honestly, while there may be things that could be better, when you can't think of anything to write you know you have a great product to support your needs. A good iOS app would be nice.
