We use Elementor as our primary website page-building tool. It serves us on multiple brand websites across our entire organization to reduce our time producing web pages and even allows non-code-savvy team members to update and manage pages. It is easier to understand and work with than Gutenberg has been for our team.
Pros
Front-end Page Building
Landing Page Development
Easy Webpage Content Management
Cons
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
I suggest Elementor to anyone looking to build a website especially if they are already locked into using WordPress. Elementor is the absolute best companion for easy page building for all levels of WordPress users. Unless the person I'm referring this to has a large development team that is very well versed in WordPress I strongly advise them to use Elementor.
I purchased Elementor at the beginning of this year to design a new website for my business. I have experience with computers, coding, and Wordpress so I thought this would be a good fit. I was excited to see that it's more block code and that many designers use Elementor to create websites for their clients.
Pros
Block code is very easy to work with.
They don't have support, per se, but they have a whole big group of users on Facebook who are great at helping each other out.
They have some templates you can use to just get going if you're in a particular industry that would probably work well with a template!
The price is really not bad for how much you get.
Cons
Elementor is a bit slow compared to other block coding that's out there now for Wordpress websites.
It also does not work well with WP Rocket and WP Rocket will break your site.
There's a lot of searching through their website when you do miss something and can't figure out how to get it to work.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
