CommonSpot vs. ManageWP

I do actually think CommonSpot is pretty well suited when the organization that you work for requires very specific parameters on site design. It was very clear what could be used and what could not in the design of individual department pages. The other thing I think CommonSpot is best suited for is website content management done by people with little or no website content management experience. It's very intuitive and easy to use and thus, easy to train people on.

It is well suited to anyone that has a Wordpress website, whether it be an individual or a company managing multiple clients sites, its an easy way to manage, maintain and keep your website running smoothly and secure.

• I think CommonSpot's greatest strength is its ease of use. It's relatively intuitive in it's usage, so it therefore makes it easy to train new people to use it.
• Within my usage of it, our options were limited, which again added to it's ease of use.

• ManageWP consolidates important WordPress site management services into on dashboard.
• ManageWP makes backing up, cloning, and restoring websites so easy.
• ManageWP provides a simple, easy to use interface.

• Commonspot needs to improve on its authoring feature. It is impossible to author on more than one page at a time . (One must always click on "View work on all changes") before switching between pages otherwise, the changes will not be saved.
• CommonSpot does not support sharing the definition of any custom element or any template layouts. Therefore, one must recreate these in each site.
• In Commonspot, a user who has to manage content in multiple sites will have to log in to each site to see and act on any actions.

• The reports could be prettier, more templates in order to avoid having to customize for each client so heavily.
• It would be nice to see if recommended plugin updates are actually production and not beta versions.

I had no previous background in content management, and found it very easy to use. If I could figure it out, I am pretty certain that just about anyone else could as well.

It's very straightforward for basic use, but less you dig in more for advanced use. Seems like it would be approachable to the average person.

Commonspot works in tandem with Zendesk very well to accomplish tasks an an efficient manner.

ManageWP is definitely the best in class product for WordPress website management. There are other tools such as InfiniteWP that do similar things, but don't have as complete an offering. Other options like WPEngine are also for hosting and we are not interested in that element. I think that ManageWP is the best tool out there for what it does.

• Free platform - many of the provided features are free, making it very useful for companies who want to keep costs low.
