The simplicity and ease-of-use is unmatched in enterprise level website hosting. Powerful capabilities with easy-to-use tooling and strong documentation make any task with VIP a breeze. Rarely is powerful software also easy to use, and I really appreciate the hard work that's been put in to making their tools enjoyable to use. WordPress VIP has a very robust toolset within their CLI, along with a powerful API and stellar documentation. This makes self-service and automation a breeze.
Up time
The top three things about VIP are the support, the platform and the people. The support team at VIP is out of this world. Solving issues quickly and even proactively finding them. The platform is secure and speedy. It's always up and always on. Lastly, the people are amazing. From our amazing account team to the people weve interacted with outside our team, Im always amazed at how smart and helpful they are.
The main issues we've had with the WordPress VIP product primarily revolve around traffic management. 1. There is no way to explore your traffic without using log shipping and manually ingesting the logs. We've had a lot of issues with bad traffic, but without spending a lot of time investigating logs, we don't have any way to review what type of traffic is hitting the platform. 2. Poor Traffic Management Tools - Even if we did identify errant traffic, there are very few tools to limit the types of traffic that reach the application. 3. WAF not mitigating high traffic events - We've had a few high-traffic incidents on endpoints like wp-login which caused issues with our application. These are events that should have been mitigated via an application firewall and were not.
When it came time to migrate to another platform, the existing WP VIP hooks had to be stripped out. It felt a bit like those hooks were implemented to keep clients married to the WP VIP service.
I dislike the amount of access to the server and database. I understand they have to keep things locked down but a little more access would help. I also dislike the billing model with little incentive to help mitigate bad traffic. Lastly, I dislike that WordPress cannot be a subdomain install.
