ManageWP vs. Terminalfour Digital Engagement and Web Development Platform

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.

It's an extremely flexible solution. It can be a nightmare to work with if not properly planned out or fantastic if well thought out. If you have a team and an application owner with a plan it's a great option.

• 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 can be a bit buggy with media library management.
• The html editor can act pretty wonky sometimes with the html it translates things into.
• The navigation builder tool is pretty confusing.

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.

I was not part of the decision process, but I was very happy with the choice to use TerminalFour.

Incentivized

• 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

• Increased employee efficiency.
• Happier internal customers because changes are much easier than they used to be and we can often empower them to make their own changes to their websites.
• For our application owner it's become a huge project that consumes all of his time. Not ideal but it's working for now. Knowledge sharing the more intricate pieces can be really difficult.
