## Reviews

### "New user and I'm hooked" — 5.0/5

> **Joseph** | *January 9, 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I was using Jetpack for years for monitoring but got sick of the bloat it had. I was looking around and trying a few monitoring solutions and came across Main WP. The amount of features it has is great in its free plan. I love too that I can handle backups with WpVivid. The fact that it has a lifetime plan was also a major draw for me.
> 
> **Cons**: For some people, it might feel a little tedious to set up as you might need to set it up on a separate domain or subdomain. I had no problem and set it up on a separate WordPress install, but some people might find it a little difficult.
> 
> I have only been using the free version for a couple of months, but will mostly update to their lifetime plan very soon.

### "Una herramienta perfecta para gestionar muchos sites de wordpress" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *October 31, 2022* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Lo mejor es que optimizas mucho tiempo, puedes actualizar varios sites de wordpress desde un mismo panel, llevar un monitoreo de los mismos, gestionar copias de seguridad. Para los que trabajamos con varios sites de wordpress es una muy buena opción. Además tienes extensiones que amplian las funcionalidades
> 
> **Cons**: Nada, me parece un sistema optimo para la gesion de varios wordpress

### "Keep track of your network of websites" — 5.0/5

> **Patrik** | *August 16, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really appreciate MainWP's overview. Easy to see, when there are pending updates. Receive notifications when a website cannot be reached. I also don't have to keep track of all logins, but can easily maneuver my way into the respective Wordpress site.
> 
> **Cons**: Most of all, MainWp lacks a good backup interface.
> 
> The combined overview saves a lot of time for the administration of the websites.

### "Essential tool if you manage multiple Wordpress sites" — 5.0/5

> **Zunaid** | *March 4, 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Managing updates and security for multiple Wordpress sites can be very tedious. MainWP is a major time saver in this regard.
> 
> **Cons**: I'd like to see a function that would allow quick creation of staging sites. I haven't found the ideal solution for this but everything else works really well.
> 
> Save countless hours by automatically running updates on multiple Wordpress sites with a single click.
