Divi has it all
Comments: I am satisfied with it. My experience is good. The Divi is stable, and I like it more than Elementor. It's just my opinion. I created many websites and landing pages with Divi, and every time is a unique and beautiful feeling to be a creator. I can make a site very fast because of the library option to save my layouts and modes. I love the import-export option as well.
Pros:
It's easy to manage. There are a lot of valuable options. You don't have to be a connoisseur to use the options, but a designer's prior knowledge of the Divi is recommended. The truth is that with Divi Builder, you can easily make a masterpiece. It has a unique design and simplicity that easily achieves harmony and a popular look. Everything is in the service of good design, and if you are not a person who enjoys creating, there are ready-made templates that you can insert into the page with one click. They are easy to edit. So, Divi is a simple, good-looking, handy Theme, Builder and it has it all ready to help you with your work.
Cons:
Everything is good when Divi has no strange things between you and your success. If you experience that builder is not equal with frontend look after you exit the builder, you can try some things to fix. You can contact support, but you probably know all the tricks if you have been a user for more than a month. Support won't give you anything you didn't find through Google search. But, you are not alone if you don't mind giving someone access to your site because they will ask for it if you want help, and nothing became helpful before. So, the support is good and, at the same time, maybe not educated enough to help you without admin rights. Divi sometimes has bugs that can be annoying, e.g., you can change the look on mobile, but sometimes Divi changes it also on PC.

For me the best choice ...
Comments: I use Divi for about 5 years, so the evolution of Divi was and is amazing.
Pros:
We mostly use figma or xd to develop the UX/UI design of the website an its very easy to implement the design in Divi. The broad range of modules/functions etc. makes it very easy, the new included AI helps sometimes for creating content. With the VIP support all problems (mostly caused by me or my team 😅) are solved within minutes.
Cons:
It' s like every software – there's always that little fear, when updates are released ...

Customization Powerhouse with a few Performance Hiccups
Comments: Overall Divi is a good site builder we use Elementor as well and they each have advantages and disadvantages. The main thing is using the system the clients find easier to keep up with.
Pros:
Some negatives of Divi include performance issues on larger websites, using shortcodes makes theme switching difficult, and plugin conflicts and issues with mobile responsiveness are high on the list.
Cons:
What we appreciate about Divi is most clients say it is easy to use, can be customized without code, and has pre-made layouts and plugins. Works for both beginners and experienced users.
Alternatives Considered:
Has a lot of quirks but very economical
Comments: Even with the quirks, I still recommend it and like it. It has helped me and my business out tremendously by keeping costs low and the time to build sites low. My customers like it because it makes it easy for them to make little adjustments without me.
Pros:
The pricing and licensing are the best. They are coming out with a lot of major updates that are bringing more value to the theme builder. I love the theme builder options of being able to target certain pages for specific templates. It helps speed up the process of building sites so it keeps my rates low for customers. It offers a lot of design options so I can make unique designs quickly.
Cons:
I don't like how quirky it is. There are some things that are so glitchy that it has become normal to expect from Divi. The header jumping issues are pretty bad. The header building options are very limited. The text options are unreliable. It will add extra lines and spaces randomly. It is slow to initiate the builder and it is very slow when changing responsive screen sizes. Maybe it is because my computer is a little older. :(
Great user experience, plenty of options, brilliant designs
Pros:
The wide range of possible use cases, easy handling of all these options
Cons:
sometimes difficulties with GDPR conform technical connections
