Overall Satisfaction with ManageWP

We use ManageWP as a simple dashboard to oversee all our companies websites. Currently it is only being used by our web development department as an easy interface to login to our websites (as it bypasses 2FA requirements), update our websites plugins & themes, and watch or any issues on our sites.
  • Managed Wordpress Updates - ManageWP allows you to update all out-of-date themes, plugins and core files on all your websites with the click of a button.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.
  • Client Access - ManageWP advertises "Client Access" for web developers, however this feature does not seem to work as expected. Instead of allowing clients to access the site via ManageWP, it simply groups sites into a folder with the client's name.
  • Reduced update times - allows me to check for updates on all our sites once a week without spending countless time logging in and updating each one manually.
  • Free backups - allows me to have redundant backups just in case other systems fail, without any effort.
  • Free platform - many of the provided features are free, making it very useful for companies who want to keep costs low.

ManageWP is well suited for anyone who manages websites and is tired of manually logging into multiple sites to perform updates. It provides a simple dashboard to review sites, see any issues, perform backups, check your site security (and review past checks), check our site performance (and review past checks), monitor uptime (paid) and more.

ManageWP is not required if you only manage a single website, however it still simplifies the update process for single-site admins.
