ManageWP vs. MODX

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.

In my opinion, MODX is usually the choice of a developer who wants to build out custom designs that create really interesting web pages, but when it comes to being easily used and edited by your marketing team, you can run into a lot of issues and end up making simple changes a more involved process.

• 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.

• Custom design capabilities.

• 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.

• Content Blocks - I mentioned this as a strength, but it also has its quirks. There are times that things do not function properly within the content blocks we have set up.
• More Customization - The ability for the average user to customize more without having to know a ton of code.

It is the CMS we use the most, not because we know it well but because we literally tried many of other CMS and this one did it for us.

However having said we really do not like the one shoe fits all approach. E..g for eCommerce we usually use PrestaShop etc. if a specialized CMS can do a task rather use that.

However for a general CMS [MODX] is hard to beat.

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.

Great and easy to use for both the coder and the end user. Especially if setup correctly by the coder.

We have not had it go down due to bugs etc. especially when comparing it to other cms out there.

Damn its fast. really good page speed out of the box.

Great community support on slack.

If you have a paid plugin great support also esp from modmore

If you have cloud hosting MODX support is fast and all servers are optimized for MODX

Good system

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.

The other company that we looked into was WordPress and all of the features that it offered our organization. What MODX offered to us from development to everyday use just made more sense for our organization as a whole. WordPress is still a great CMS platform, just not exactly what we were looking for.

Very scalable. e.g. in the [MODX] manager you can manage multiple websites at once without having to login else where. it is very convenient and this way resources and be easily managed and shared.

• Reduced update times - allows me to check for updates on all our sites once a week without spending countless time logging in and updating each one manually.
• Free backups - allows me to have redundant backups just in case other systems fail, without any effort.
• Free platform - many of the provided features are free, making it very useful for companies who want to keep costs low.

• The positive impact that MODX has had on our organization is that it has allowed us to generate more organic traffic to our site.
• We are also able to push more paid advertisements to our site on our lead generation landing pages.
