## Reviews
### [Awesome platform for multi site management](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-platform-for-multi-site-management/)
[artroom74](https://profiles.wordpress.org/artroom74/) May 1, 2026
I have been using SiteSkite since its release, and whilst there have been a few
minor issues along the way (many simply due to my hosting), the developer has been
the most responsive you could hope for. Actively pursuing me for information to
resolve any problems and checking in on how things are working. He’s also keen to
take on board suggestions I have put forward for future features. I’m currently
managing over 40 sites on the platform and it’s making their management so much
smoother, and is improving literally every week.
### [Probably the most feature-rich and affordable SaaS for WP management](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/probably-he-most-feature-rich-and-affordable-saas-for-wp-management/)
[stephenzhao](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stephenzhao/) April 27, 2026
I have been using SiteSkite for several months. The overall experience is quite
good. I know it’s pretty new compared with other tools. But since I got it, it has
released a lot of new features and is keeping improving. I give a few examples below.
All WP management tools on the market have an uptime monitor. But perhaps only SiteSkite
offers a domain expiration checker. I suggested this feature to the team. They really
listened and added it 2 weeks later. It includes a Sandbox/Blueprint feature, which
I really like very much. It’s like InstaWP or a cloud version of LocalWP. The testing
WP development environment is very fast and handy. I used MainWP and WP Umbrella
before. MainWP is self-hosted and depends on a lot of 3rd-party addons. It made
me frustrated to deal with numerous issues when I used it. And I don’t think it’s
a good idea to manage other WP sites using another WP site. WP Umbrella, a SaaS
tool, is not bad, but it is just too simple and the development of new features
seems stale. SiteSkite is also affordable. The product team deserves my respect.
I recommend it to WP agencies or small business owners who run web design studios.
### [Best WordPress recovery tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-wordpress-recovery-tool/)
[spydev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/spydev/) April 16, 2026
I am using SiteSkite for some time, I like almost all of it functions specially
backing up data on my own cloud drives, issue detection but the most capable features
this plugin have is recovering your site without changing any codebase or wp acesss.
Also I like their recently launched feature of managing the siteskite by using AI(
claude or GPT). I do recommend SiteSkite to manage the wordpress website, it will
make your life easier.
### [Outstanding Multiple WordPress Monitoring](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/outstanding-multiple-wordpress-monitoring/)
[justnajm](https://profiles.wordpress.org/justnajm/) April 15, 2026
I can monitor multiple sites at once now, that is extra ordinary, thanks for the
quick AI support.
### [Exceptional Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exceptional-support-85/)
[gieri](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gieri/) March 4, 2026
Awesome WP Backup and Management Tool for Solo Users and Agencies.You can see the
quality of a product when you need support.And the support was extremely responsive
and fast, after I had some problems creating backups. I like the possibility to
use my own backup targets/clouds.Also the Vulnerability scanner and site performance
test are very helpful features. Backups are necessary and you will sleep better
with a plugin like SiteSkite 🙂
### [The best site management plugin for agencies with incredible support!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-site-management-plugin-for-agencies-with-incredible-support/)
[tariqthaqeeq](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tariqthaqeeq/) February 21, 2026
As someone managing multiple client websites, SiteSkite is a breath of fresh air.
The bulk update feature works flawlessly, and the ‘BYO Cloud’ backup option gives
me total peace of mind knowing I own my data on Google Drive or S3. The interface
is modern, fast, and doesn’t feel bloated at all. One of my favorite features is
the automated reporting. It generates detailed logs of exactly how much work I’ve
done on the website, which makes billing and showing value to my clients so much
easier. Most importantly, the support is top-tier. Even the CEO jumps in to help
if you run into a problem! They truly listen to their users I’ve asked for custom
options several times, and most of them were actually available in the very next
update. If you want a professional, scalable way to manage your sites with a team
that actually cares, this is it.
