    Hi,
    I used / have used several plugins from WPMU dev over the past few years.
    I’ll try to summarise my experience below.

    Pros
    a) They have some excellent and invaluable plugins. Specifically for me:
    — Cloner
    — Multisite privacy
    — Lock posts
    — Pretty Plugins
    Have all been very useful

    b) My support requests were always responded to promptly and their tech staff seemed keen to help

    Cons
    a) Nag notices. If you haven’t installed their ‘hub’ plugin (that attempts to centrally manage all your WPMUdev plugins) it pushes it on you most pages. I had to get another plugin just to remove it

    b) Although the support requests were answered, the advice given wasn’t always that useful. As an experienced dev I’d often want fairly ‘high level’ tech help which wasn’t always forthcoming i.e. I sometimes felt I knew more than they did

    I would suggest subscribing for a month (it’s free for a month), see what you use, and then decide if it’s worth the cost.

    I would highly recommend subscribing to their newsletter which I actually find very informative – they highlight key news in the WP world and beyond.

    I’ve used WPMUDev plugin Membership 2 Pro. Their support is mostly forum based through their website. All in all it was pretty good, I talked with users and developers to get explanations on how to extend the specific plugin. The membership itself give you access to a whole library of plugins which is nice though I only used one.

    Eventually though Membership 2 Pro didn’t quote make the cut with what the project needed between available hooks and ease of use, cancelled my trail membership and I don’t really feel the necessity to renew. I think if you can pay the membership and see yourself using many of their plugins on client projects to recoup the cost, their membership cost may be worth it. Otherwise, the WordPress repository has a lot of choices for similar plugins.

    This is just my experience with WPMUDeve though.
