Simple & Straightforward

I've used other tools in the past for managing lots of websites. Both hosted and self hosted. WP-Umbrella makes everything very simple and straightforward to use. Easy to understand dashboard and very nice reports to send to clients.

Surely the best WordPress maintenance plugin

I'm using it for a year on 5 websites and will progressively migrate all WordPress websites to WP Umbrella. It's really simple to setup, it simply does the job. It is not free but all job needs to be paid especially when it is well done and time saver. If you have 1, 2, 10, 100 websites to manage updates and much more, do not hesitate longer! Thank you guys for your great job!
