User Testimonials
	Flywheel	ManageWP
Likelihood to Recommend	WP Engine Flywheel is particularly well-suited for hands-on WordPress managed hosting. It's also perfect for developers who build site's locally on Local and then want an effortless way to import them into their managed hosting environment. Flywheel particularly excels in scenarios where a customer needs managed. WordPress hosting that handles daily backups and offers test and live environments for a reasonable price. Incentivized Jennifer Blair Creative Director and Owner Read full review	ManageWP 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	WP Engine Customer Service User Interface User Experience Creative Support Incentivized Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Read full review	ManageWP Managed Wordpress Updates - ManageWP allows you to update all out-of-date themes, plugins and core files on all your websites with the click of a button. Automated Backups - ManageWP allows users to setup an automated schedule of backups (including free monthly backups). Maintenance & Development Mode - ManageWP allows users to place a specific site into Maintenance or Development Mode, allowing them to block users from accessing the site with a click of a button. Incentivized Darien Chaffart Associate Pastor Read full review
Cons	WP Engine Flywheel is more expensive than many hosting companies Incentivized Duncan McMillan Director Read full review	ManageWP 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. Incentivized Gary Williams President & CEO Read full review
Usability	WP Engine No answers on this topic	ManageWP 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	WP Engine Compared to WP Engine and Pantheon, Flywheel offers the most affordable and easy-to-use managed hosting platform for WordPress websites. I actually prefer Flywheel's UI a bit more to WP Engine's. Media Temple simply doesn't offer an affordable hosting option that particularly caters to WordPress websites. Flywheel has become my favorite among managed hosting platforms that are targeted on servicing WordPress developers. Incentivized Jennifer Blair Creative Director and Owner Read full review	ManageWP 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. Incentivized Matt Heerema Director Read full review
Return on Investment	WP Engine Fast/easy to create new sites with blueprints Easy to work locally with Local Incentivized Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Read full review	ManageWP High positive ROI as it has saved us doing manual updates on multiple website It has helped us scale our careplan offerings to service more clients Helps with automation and admin time Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
