Divi vs. WordPress VIP

Divi has cornered the market on a simple, straightforward WordPress theme that gives some major integrations and functions! Now that I've worked within it for years, I have a much better understanding of how robust a system it is. It takes some practice to get accustomed to but once you "get" it, it is so fun to use. I've shown so many small business owners how to use Divi and I feel that it is much easier to learn than other themes with functions that are controlled by coding or shortcodes. I could play in Divi all day, and some days I do, depending on which projects I am working on at the time

WordPress VIP really changed the game when it comes to WordPress CMS and Content Management. A one-stop shop for all our client's business needs. We are focusing on Content Management instead of technicalities. The big advantage is the security features covering all recent vulnerabilities that any WordPress developer/user wastes lots of precious time fixing/updating. Performance-wise, WordPress VIP is definitely up there. We’ve been doing lots of optimization work over the last few years. Every client wants to score 100. With WordPress VIP we decreased the time spent on optimization significantly and now feel confident with taking more performance optimisation work than we did before. Lastly, maybe the most important for every business is the support quality. WordPress VIP runs a superb support team with phenomenal knowledge and expertise. Quick to respond and solves issues here and now. It is definitely recommended.

• Customizing the header is powerful, but making the most of it is more challenging than the rest of Divi's options

Divi is overall a great tool to use - I think I would need to spend a little more time to dig into the tool to provide more long term feedback.

There wasn't a single problem that wouldn't be solved by the WordPress VIP support team, and I had quite a few questions during the process. They were always available and provided in-depth expertise on topics I was interested in. I not only consulted problems with them but also advised on future actions - in general, I'd highly recommend getting in touch.

Divi is a far better-looking and easier-to-learn system than Elements. While Elements has flexible columns and more compatibility with third-party systems (Crockoblock), it has a far steeper learning curve. Divi had a better pricing model and was easier to use to work at speed. We also felt it was far more client-friendly for self-editing.

It would be fair to say that both are superb products that follow through on promises and have very strong marketing and teams behind them. For truly enterprise organisations though, one would be tempted to recommend WordPress VIP at this moment in time, but one to keep an eye on, Engine, is extremely capable.

• By migrating our mobile applications to Wordpress's APIs, we could remove a large portion of our technical infrastructure, which was hosted on Google Cloud, along with an additional database and a lot of business logic used to support data transformation and ingestion.
