"The best plugin you can use for managing downloads on WordPress"

Pros: It is easy to set up and update. It helps keep a track of all downloads that have occurred over a period of time and also allows version control (display only). Pairing it with a CDN like bunny.net makes downloads seamless, while also providing the necessary stats. Updating to a new version of the download is easy.The ability to create a shop page to monetize downloads without needing to WooCommerce is a great plus.

Cons: Some design aspects of the download page are very rudimentary. Maybe this allows for greater flexibility to make it fit our website's design.

Reasons for Switching to WordPress Download Manager: The manager was broken. It would create loops to the same download page without providing actual downloads. It also did not have password protection (multiple passwords) that WDM offers.

"Powerful and Flexible Wordpress Plugin for Managing and Tracking Digital Downloads. "

Overall: WordPress Download Manager provides detailed analytics and reporting, allowing me to track the performance of all the downloads. I am also able to monitor the performance of my payment gateways, which is very important.

Pros: The software is easy to use and has a variety of useful features. I like its integration with popular payment gateways such as PayPal and Stripe. This makes it easy to sell my digital products directly from my WordPress site, without the need for an external platform. Additionally, the plugin supports multiple file types, including audio, video, and documents, giving me a greater flexibility in the types of files I can offer for download.

Cons: The customization features could be improved. I also got some compatibility issues with some themes.

Reasons for Choosing WordPress Download Manager: I choose WordPress Download Manager other these alternative products because it satisfies all my needs and requirements.

"Great product, a bit complex to setup and to many plugins to buy extra"

Overall: I used it for years, and it's very powerful, but lately I'm moving all my clients to options that are cheaper, have plans dedicated to agencies and include more features in their plans.

Pros: It has been for years "the standard" in wordpress file management plugins.

Cons: It has become very complex and bulky and they have to many plugins you need to pay also just to do basic stuff.

Reasons for Choosing WordPress Download Manager: because at the time it was better

"Très bon logiciel de conception de site "

Overall: J'utilise WordPress pour mes clients, des sociétés pour qui je crée des sites internet . Je forme donc les entreprises à WordPress. Et si je dois intervenir à distance , je prends la main pour des modifications. Je conseille WordPress à mes clients mais parfois on m'oblige à utiliser d'autres interfaces.

Pros: WordPress est très populaire. On peut travailler sur différents supports, que l'on soit sur tablette, un téléphone portable ou PC. On peut personnaliser le site selon nos besoins grâce à de nombreux choix en termes de personnalisation et l’ensemble des plugins à disposition. Même sans grande expérience de codage, on peut créer un site professionnelle ce qui permet de faire un investissement moindre pour un résultat professionnel.

Cons: Parfois certains plugins qui ne sont plus supportés.

Reasons for Choosing WordPress Download Manager: je le trouve simple d'utilisation et un large éventail de fonctionnalité aide à la création d'un site professionnel à un cout moindre .

"Great for Managing Your Website Add-ons"

Pros: Using this tool is very easy and straightforward and it does exactly what it's intended for.

Cons: Initially I had some issues with the interface glitching out, but that could have been a result of my outdated browser, as it was no longer an issue post update.
