alot of hard work went into this because there is very little like it

Buyer Beware!
by LynnR321·5 years ago

I have been a loyal customer of CMS Commander for several years now. It was a straightforward backup tool which was about all I needed -until it quite working. I’d get it fixed and then an upgrade or something would happen and it would break -without any warning to me that it was broken. Which is not good with backups! Support, which is on an opposite time zone from the US, is slow to respond and difficult to navigate to find your own answers. The plugin update tool seems to work about 50/50 of the time.
The worst part is that if you use their service and get an annual license, which auto renews each year -without any notification via email to you- is that they will not refund any part upon cancellation! I asked for a prorated refund and this is what they said, “You are of course free to cancel your subscription at any time but please note that for yearly payments a partial refund of unused time is not a possibility. The point of the yearly payments is to offer you additional savings but at the cost of a longer time commitment.”
I’ve set my calendar to watch the upgrade this next year so it doesn’t slip by! Until then I’ll have to bite the bullet and put up with sub-par backup services. ManageWP with their $2/per site, per month backups is a MUCH better consistent service and deal!

Perfect Tool to manage my WordPress sites
by beat.k·8 years ago

Compared to other tools with CMS Commander i have all the options that are important to me in one single plugin: backup, site cloning, updates, even bulk plugin transfers from one to another site and many more. Clear overview of all my sites, settings, plugins, themes. With a simple and transparent subscription who covers all the great functionality, without extra plugins and subscriptions needed for some functionality, as it is with offers from the competitors.

The best tool for managing multiple WP sites.
by buzzfish·9 years ago

I manage a lot of websites for clients and I have researched and tried many different WP management tools. CMS commander works amazing and gives the most bang for the buck. Responsiveness of the support is great.

OMG you read my mind
·10 years ago

I logged into my CMS commander account today looking to see if it had a very specific feature I need. I was thinking of moving to another manager if it was not there.

The coolest thing happened. I log in daily. But today. When I logged in looking for this special feature, there was a huge announcement at the top of the screen that the feature had just been added!!!

You read my mind. thank you thank you thank you!!!

Edit: It just keeps getting better. New (useful) features all the time.
