What Users Really Think of mySites.guru

Every review on our reviews page is from a real person with a real name. No anonymous testimonials, no paid placements. I wanted to pull out some of the recurring themes.

People stop thinking of it as a subscription

This is the thing I hear most. Alexander I. runs an agency and told us mySites.guru feels more like infrastructure than a subscription at this point. Stephen Dillon at Invisible Stuff has been paying for it for over 10 years and says it’s the best value tool they have.

Ten years is a long time to keep paying for something. No one does that out of inertia.

The time savings are real

Anne Notarthomas at eKamria uses it daily for one-click logins, backup scheduling, uptime monitoring, and general maintenance. She says it saves her untold hours every month.

Daniel Östgård manages about 200 Joomla and WordPress sites and describes it as saving “oceans of time.” At that scale, running updates manually would take days. Through mySites.guru it takes minutes.

You don’t need to be technical

Nick Lucas is a CEO with 7 sites. He’s self-taught, not a developer. He told us mySites.guru showed him security problems he had no idea existed. The audit tools flag issues in plain language, so you don’t need to know what a CVE number means to act on them.

That said, developers get plenty out of it too. Adam Haworth moved his agency from WP Umbrella because he wanted more control over security, specifically. He got it.

Does it treat Joomla and WordPress equally?

Most management tools are WordPress-only, or they bolt Joomla on as an afterthought. mySites.guru treats both equally, which matters if you have a mixed portfolio.

Emanuel manages about 50 Joomla sites and says the tools cover almost any use case he’s thrown at them. Krisztina, a freelance Joomla developer, has been using it since 2015. She originally signed up to clean malware off a server full of hacked sites, then kept using it for day-to-day management. Andrés Restrepo works primarily with Joomla 5.x and says it changed how he works.

What did WPMayor rate it?

WPMayor.com did an independent review and gave mySites.guru 4.6 out of 5 stars. Worth reading if you want an outside perspective.

Where can you read all the reviews?

These are just a few. The reviews page has them all, or you can leave your own whether or not you are still a customer.

For a harder look at the numbers, we counted what all ninety of this summer’s reviews actually mention. The most common thing was not a feature.
