Chose Elementor
I use Optimize Press on a business website. It has a conceptually similar WYSIWYG page builder. They provide a sales funnel capability with their theme, which is why I use them.
Chose Elementor
I have used the built-in Gutenberg content builder and Visual Composer before. Neither of these are truly "front-end" page builders. They allow you to build with blocks the content you want, but you can not see it live as you design it. That is the true value Elementor has …
Chose Elementor
Thrive Leads and thrive architect is a pain to update, they've changed version and name in recent years. I am unable to update because every time there was an upgrade or new release of the plugin it caused issues with my website's functionality which has left me stuck updating …
Chose Elementor
I previously used Wix with another company, and when I switched companies, the company I switched to was already using WordPress/Elementor. I could have switched the company to Wix if I had wanted to, but I enjoy the flexibility that Elementor allows, something that Wix isn't …
Chose Elementor
I want WP Bakery back.
Chose Elementor
I ended up asking Elementor for a refund so I could use another theme. They were quick to refund me and ask what they could do better in the future. I ended up choosing OShine, which worked great for me, but now I wish I would've gone with Oxygen as it seems to be a little tiny …
Chose Elementor
Elementor is relatively cheap and easy to use, but comes with a number of performance issues which ruin the experience in the long run. Right now, we've switched to Webflow and unbounce for the same ease of use, but with improved performance
Chose Elementor
We wanted to use WordPress and not depend on the Tilda with annual fees, so we installed wordpress and bought a template on Envato market, and the selected template already had a built-in Elementor, which I just tweaked to fit my needs. Also we don't want to learn a completely …
Chose Elementor
Elementor stuck out as the clear leader for their online support and ease of use. WordPress has started to adopt some of the core features of WordPress, which means that they must have been good and seen as a clear necessity, but the Elementor still has the clear lead on …
Chose Elementor
I tried a couple of website builders for Wordpress and Visual Composer was the only other that I considered using. Elementor is a better product like the price difference proves. I will choose Elementor whenever possible because it makes sense from a business perspective.
Chose Elementor
Before Elementor, I developed our site using the WordPress plugin Divi. While the editor was great, I found that the site load times (even with image optimization) were unacceptably slow. The Elementor editor is on par with Divi (better in way[s], less intuitive in others), but …
Chose Elementor
Before using Elementor we used Divi by Elegant Themes, and the biggest improvements are in load speed and reduced bloat. Elementor editor loads faster and makes web design a more enjoyable process. I would highly recommend Elementor over Divi. It’s also helpful that Elementor …
Chose Elementor
We've used everything from Divi to Brizy to Gutenberg and beyond. For us, Elementor ticks all the boxes. Though Divi has its fanbase, it doesn't allow a client to switch easily down the road whereas Elementor does. Divi and Elementor were our final two choices as we went …
Chose Elementor
I am not finding the builders that I have used in the past in the prepopulated area. The builders that we have used in the past include Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Instapages, as well as the classic editor and Gutenberg. I will say that Beaver Builder is probably a close …
Chose Elementor
I tried Visual Composer and Divvy and no one is at the level of Elementor. It is very intuitive and easy, highly recommend.
Chose Elementor
Elementor is relatively inexpensive for the features offered. It's simpler than some competitors and allows teams to play around with site content without overwhelming them with sophisticated features.
Chose Elementor
WP Bakery and Divi both serve similar needs, but we have chosen to go full-tilt with Elementor due to the excellent infrastructure, support, and value it brings.
Chose Elementor
Elementor is superior to other page builders I have used previously, including Divi and Beaver Builder, and are easier to use than hosted options I have previously used, including Squarespace and Wix. It allows for more flexible designs for advanced users and a more intuitive …
Chose Elementor
  • Divi
  • Site Origin

Chose Elementor
I started out using Elementor first and invested in the paid plan and then when I needed to move my website to a new host I was unable to use my previous paid plugin so I decided to try out Brizy. After being stung but Elementor I decided to not invest in Brizy and use their …

I would recommend this for the ease of use and price. It is a good value for any website developer or designer to be able to create multiple websites a year with super simple coding. If you've got a way to speed up your website without using WP Rocket, then it's even better! I think this software is specifically made for someone with a coding background and would recommend that you have a background with Wordpress to make using this software even easier

Pros
Elementor
  • Easy to implement different sections of a page such as images, text blocks, forms etc.
  • There is a range of example pages available for you to change to suit your brand or to provide some inspiration
  • It is easy to add custom CSS (or similar)

Cons
Elementor
  • More Enterprise Features would be nice
  • More integration with 3rd party form plugins like Gravity Forms
  • Sometimes it gets confusing working with template features like headers. Editing in one place may accidentally affect the entire site and it is not always clear.

Usability
Elementor
Elementor is one of those website builders that is really easy to get started with. The drag and drop features make it easy to create attractive and creative webpages for even the non-website designer. Some of the features available are not easy to find or easy to discover when you first start using Elementor. Practice makes perfect.

Support Rating
Elementor
There support is slow and at times can be frustrating and this is why many prefer to air out their frustrations within the Facebook group community. I tend to give up as when I'm working on something and something goes wrong I need the help straight away. I do not have the patience to wait anymore.

Thrive Leads and thrive architect is a pain to update, they've changed version and name in recent years. I am unable to update because every time there was an upgrade or new release of the plugin it caused issues with my website's functionality which has left me stuck updating old versions that don't work anymore. With Elementor i haven't had this issue.

Return on Investment
Elementor
  • Elementor has made it possible for our non-profit to stand out in the non-profit space in which we operate. Our website was highly flexible and looked great, which provided confidence to our donors.
  • Elementor has never been a weak spot in the security of our website. We've had several attempted attacks against our website and yet everything was remained locked down.
  • We have only used the free version of Elementor, so it has kept our costs low and allowed us to have a professional looking website, but being able to put more money towards our charitable cause rather than IT.
