    If you are a WordPress development shop, or host a number of WordPress websites, this is for you. Even if you only have one website but are looking for an easy way to make updates, schedule backups and keep track of the maintenance of your site, this would be a great tool. The cost is reasonable and it saves time, while adding peace of mind with "Safe" updates.

    Cons
    Acoustic
    • The organization of the application is poor and some elements could be more easily accessible not buried in menus.
    • There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.
    • Does not work well with our IBM applications as well as you would expect, which seems a common issue with IBM products.

    • The reports could be prettier, more templates in order to avoid having to customize for each client so heavily.
    • It would be nice to see if recommended plugin updates are actually production and not beta versions.

    It's very straightforward for basic use, but less you dig in more for advanced use. Seems like it would be approachable to the average person.

    Prior to ManageWP, we utilized InfiniteWP, a free (with paid extensions), self-hosted alternative. We found the interface to be unwieldy, and the paid extension pricing to be a bit confusing. The headache of maintaining the software and server infrastructure to run the platform, overshadowed the cost savings for us.
