With over 260 Joomla websites linked at the time of writing this review, MySites.guru has been an essential part of my web design agency client support tools for many years. Knowing all websites are monitored and easily updated in one central location is something I almost can't consider in terms of the time it would take to manage all of this manually. In the rare occasion I've had to ask for support, Phil replies almost faster than I reply to my own clients, and that is almost unheard of! For the fixed monthly cost, it really is a no-brainer to have as a standard tool if you support your client websites on a long-term basis.

We are using mysites.guru to monitor and manage about 50 Joomla websites. The provided tools are quite powerful and cover almost any use case imaginable. Especially the backup management combined with Akeeba Backup is significantly improved. If you need to manage multiple Joomla or Wordpress sites, I can definitely recommend using this service.
