WP Engine Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines WCM as the process of creating, managing and delivering content to one or more digital channels. This is achieved through the use of specific content management features based on a core repository. WCM tools are used to manage content to be delivered to websites and other digital channels. These tools are used by both IT and marketing/business. They may be procured as commercial products or open-source tools and are typically cloud-based.
The functionality of WCM solutions goes beyond the publication of webpages. It also includes:
- Content-creation functions, such as assembling content components, pages, websites, microsites and landing pages.
- A content repository that organizes different content types and their metadata.
- Library services, such as check-in and check-out, versioning and rollback.
- Security and roles, and permissions management.
- Management features such as layout and templates, menus and navigation, and workflows.
- Content and application deployment functions.
- Personalization capabilities.
- The ability to integrate, via APIs, with adjacent technologies such as digital commerce platforms, CRM, and marketing automation platforms.
- Hybrid and headless capabilities for API-driven multiexperience content delivery beyond websites and to other channels — such as mobile apps, progressive web apps (PWAs), single-page applications (SPAs), digital and voice assistants and smart devices.

SENIOR WEB DEVELOPER

WP Engine includes many tools that make my life as a developer easier. In the past I've used Git push to deploy which is extremely handy. Their UI and dashboard is well organized and intuitive and it's easy to find information such as SFTP connection details.
