Great team and Great service
by brendank·2 months ago

I’ve moved all of my remote management of my WP sites to Modular – have been using it for approximately 12 months or so and they haven’t missed a beat. I had a small plugin conflict with a coming soon plugin recently and the team identified and repaired the connectivity issue within a few days. Awesome support from Hector and the team, and the plugin/service definitely makes managing a large number of WP sites simple – easy recommend from me.

Excellent monitoring plugin — reliable alerts and peace of mind
by Dimoteca·2 months ago

We’ve been using the Modular plugin to monitor uptime and performance across multiple WordPress sites, and it has been consistently reliable. Setup was straightforward, the interface is clear, and the alerts are fast and actionable—exactly what you need when something goes wrong. It’s become a key part of our maintenance workflow and gives both our team and our clients real peace of mind. Highly recommended for anyone managing WordPress websites professionally. Also, the fact that clients can see the automatically generated reports reinforces the value of our maintenance service.

Just keeps getting better!
by Morten Ellegaard Larsen·5 months ago

I jumped on a LTD license a while back, hoping that it might grow into something useful. And my, was that a great decision!
I’ve now moved every site over from a competing service and I’m not looking back. By now almost all my wishes are met and the rest is coming soon.
This solution saves me a ton of time on a daily basis handling the backup, update and maintenance of 50+ websites. I’m a very happy customer!

The only way is up!
by updesignme·6 months ago

This is one of the most excellent tools I have used in a while. It works, and it works well, and it saves a lot of time, and it makes money. The interface is easy to use, and it really is effective and efficient in what it does. If you maintain several WordPress websites, look no further, this is the tool to make your life a lot less stressful! Easy management, quick overview and awesome reporting to help clients see all the effort that goes into keeping their sites running smoothly. The only way for Modular DS is up! Thank you for a great product and great support!!

Incredible useful with excellent support!
by jugibur·11 months ago

I’m really impressed with how well Modular DS is designed and how well it works!
For some time now, I have even been able to restore an automatically created backup directly via an FTP and database connection!
My support requests were all dealt with very quickly, competently and in a friendly manner – exemplary!

I also think it’s great that there is a public roadmap where you can vote on which features will be implemented next.

All in all, I’m really impressed!
I hope that Modular DS continues to grow and that many more people discover this useful service!
