My integration of WordPress VIP

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use this product for content management and analysis. This choice was made partially because of the enterprise security features available . We were also interested in the professional services but did not wind up using them as we originally intended. We saw the integration with CI/CD and Git as a big advantage as well. Support options also seemed to be superior to other options as well.

Pros

  • Security is a big one.
  • Integration with GitHub
  • Availability

Cons

  • Wish integrations/plugins were more comprehensive
  • Expensive
  • The REST APIs are okay.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well I think its ability to deal with high traffic environments is great. As a major Fortune 500 company we can certainly drive a lot of traffic. Also having developers able to integrate tools with it through the plugins, APIs, and git are really useful. I personally use Git quite a bit, but I am more of a developer than someone who uses this platform day in and day out.

Wordpress VIP Review.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WordPress VIP is used for hosting / infrastructure of our websites theCHIVE.com and chivemediagroup.com. In addition, we use Wordpress VIP for API data associated with our daily posts. The API data is ingested into our native apps on Android and iOS

Pros

  • Keeps us informed of upcoming releases/patches associated with the Wordpress Platform.
  • Introduces us to products/companies/Wordpress plugins as necessary when new business needs arise.
  • Amy and Allie are excellent at managing the relationship; speaking with them on our monthly calls is a pleasure.

Cons

  • The only issue we have had is access to the TTLs in DNS, and we are unable to change those.

Likelihood to Recommend

We are a small business, and not having to employ resources for DevOps associated with Wordpress Hosting, monitoring, and scaling is well-suited for our company. The team's responsiveness when we have issues with the website is fantastic. The pricing model on HTTP requests has become costly for us as we use Wordpress's APIs for our mobile applications, causing us to think about better storing and caching information in local storage. Hence, a "chatty" app or website might not best suit the HTTP request pricing model.

IT JUST WORKS -- no matter the traffic spikes and volume when content goes viral.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are handling large-scale traffic from Google when it spikes. We have extensive social media profiles on Facebook and get much traffic from Google News and Discovery. This means that traffic can be very unpredictable, and we need to make sure that our servers "just work" when there is a spike in traffic. Any downtime is lost revenue literally by the second. WPVIP ensures everything is running, no matter the traffic volume, and running/loading fast!!

Pros

  • Fast support when there are issues.
  • They always want you to be happy.
  • Scale is not an issue for traffic, it just works.

Cons

  • I wish there were insights on making our website use fewer resources and performance recommendations for my web developers.

Likelihood to Recommend

For websites that get a large number of concurrent visitors and have the potential for traffic spikes from Google or social media, WordPress VIP "just works" and is reliable!

- We use VIP to host certain content that is super performant and handles our social marketing use cases.

- It is easy to work with when we are coordinating with 3rd parties to create and publish certain content.

- Configurable and easy to collaborate

Pros

  • User management
  • Core use case, host content and deliver performance pages
  • Simple and easy to work with

Cons

  • Too many different dashboard formats
  • Everything should have the same look and feel.
  • The admin portal looks different than the user content portal

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited:

- Smaller independent page/content hosting

Not Well Suited:

A real VIP experience

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been using WordPress VIP for almost 2 years now. At my work it is used to manage and create sites for different types of companies. It is easy to use and very adaptable to different needs. Even when it needs development to adjust it to the client’s requirements, the platform is robust and has many options to create.

Pros

  • Great hosting experience
  • Tools for marketing purposes
  • Many solutions integrated to WordPress VIP

Cons

  • Import data can be difficult
  • Customer support platform could be improved
  • High cost for small companies

Likelihood to Recommend

It is appropriate for larger companies due to the pricing. But as the performance is really good, having options for smaller organizations would be a great idea.

Fastest and most secure WordPress platform

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We recommend using WordPress VIP for enterprise clients. The stability and security offered by WordPress VIP is second to none.

Pros

  • Security
  • Uptime
  • Speed

Cons

  • VIP Dashboard
  • CLI commands
  • Documentation

Likelihood to Recommend

I would say it is less appropriate for 5-15 person organizations where there are no technical contacts and organizations where go to live speed is the most important feature. Since GitHub deployment is being utilized at WordPress VIP, it might take a bit longer to deploy new features.

Super online support

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WordPress VIP has an outstanding team and understands the needs for high-level enterprise sites. They provide superior support to both development partners and clients and go above and beyond for support. I highly recommend using them and their team.

Pros

  • Enterprise Level Hosting
  • Support
  • Web Development
  • WordPress
  • WooCommere

Cons

  • There packages could be expanded

Likelihood to Recommend

They really help us get Tampa Zoo in a good place with hosting infrastructure and stability. They provided high and low-level support where it was much needed.

Really good support and performance

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use WordPress VIP to provide our clients with a stable hosting platform. We switched to WordPress VIP after facing issues with downtime and slow customer support with other platforms. WordPress VIP fulfilled our expectations on these subjects.

Pros

  • When you open a ticket, support will respond very quickly
  • You won't encounter any problems concerning downtime
  • Performance isn't affected by increased traffic

Cons

  • There aren't any smaller hosting packages for organizations with lower budgets
  • Plug-in updates through the repo can be somewhat tedious
  • Timezone issues with support can happen occasionally

Likelihood to Recommend

Regarding their competitors, VIP is really suitable for larger clients with more demanding technical needs. Performance doesn't drop no matter the size of the project. Not thinking about downtime or performance dropping allows you to focus on other aspects of your role and deliver overall higher quality to your clients in larger projects.

Expertise at the enterprise level

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We’ve been working with WordPress since 2011, so naturally, technology and innovation underpin everything we do. We’re one of fourteen WordPress VIP Gold Partners and the only agency in the UK to hold that accreditation. We use WordPress VIP as it gives the enterprise-level clients that we deal with the security, speed, and scalability they require. We work on many projects that require non-technical teams on the client-side to be able to undergo training to launch their own content, pages, and even sites. WP VIP helps us facilitate that.

Pros

  • Scalability, right up to the enterprise level - massive traffic spikes are handled without a hitch
  • Updates - many of the core elements are updated automatically
  • Their performance monitoring is excellent, the 99% uptime speaks for itself

Cons

  • n/a

Likelihood to Recommend

When we are dealing with clients at a certain level, they look for confidence in the solution's security and the power to achieve high levels of scalability. From a new-biz standpoint, WordPress VIP has the reputation and stats to reassure clients and bolster proposals from our side as an agency.
