iControlWP

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 72% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Sure, free for 15 days, but there is no free plans for individuals after the trial. This extention is made for companies, not individuals.

   I love having all my clients’ websites in one place with all WP & security management settings accessible. This WordPress Site Management system is all around awesome, and their support is better than any I’ve experienced. If I have a problem or a question, they are quick and thorough in responding and seeing any issue resolved.

   Running a number of sites with associated staging sites, this management system just works. Keeps all the sites up to date with one logon and interface. Copes with sites with dodgy plugins that don’t play well – love the Shield Central profiles, makes sorting this so easy – and the support is quick and courteous, even when the problem is another plugin not doing what it should.

   After good a bit of research into WordPress Security Software, I decided to check out take the 14-day free trial of iControlWP. I opted for the ‘Agency Pro’ package as it includes all the add ons and the daily backups. I am really impressed with this plugin and am only sorry that I didn’t start using it earlier. The installation was really very easy and the plugin has already helped us close a lot of vulnerabilities (many of which we weren’t aware of) and add additional layers of security to our client websites. In a very short space of time, we’ve managed to streamline our WordPress maintenance and greatly simplify our workflow and increase our security.

   By far the BEST admin kit for administering multiple wordpress sites along with their security product called Shield. It’s a one-stop resource to cover all and administer ALL your wordpress sites from one incredible dashboard. I highly recommend to anyone. Also the customer support is excellent.

   I’ve been using this system for a little while now with around 35 sites. I found the backup side of system works more reliably than some of the other backup plugins I’ve tried in the past (backupbuddy / duplicator etc.) – you never know how good a backup system is until you try to restore and this system has not let me down. When it comes to offering maintenance to your clients it’s very affordable to be able to pick and choose which features you need. It’s definitely worth trying out the free 30 day trial and see how you get on.

   As my title states, the only regret I have is that I didn’t find this plugin earlier! What a time saver for a small company like mine. We manage multiple websites as a webmaster for small companies and I used to do all the updates and backups manually. iControlWP enables me to backup my clients continuously and keep up with updates in a timely manner all with a White Label support interface. And support is phenomenal! Thank you!

   Not only is the product amazing, but I am blown away by the customer service and attention to detail. I had the smallest of issues. Real small. I was treated like some king who was spending thousands of dollars with them. We are also talking instant response at ANY hour of the day (once at 3 am and once at 5am).. Unreal. I don’t often write reviews, but not only is the product flawless, these are guys that you can stand behind and know they have your backs. I sound fake because I am that thrilled..
