Outstanding tool, excellent support.
by marpomultimedia·2 years ago
I’ve been using Watchful to maintain over 200 sites for quite a few years. The service they offer is invaluable in terms of efficiency and workflow to keep the sites secure and ensure backups are timely. Their support and service is always knowledgeable and polite and they go above and beyond to solve issues, even when the issue isn’t necessarily their fault.
