Un cambio a mejor después de tantos años con ManageWP
Llevo muchos años utilizando ManageWP y, después de dar el paso a ModularDS, puedo decir que el cambio ha sido para mejor. Estoy muy contento tanto con la herramienta como con el soporte que ofrecéis. Se agradece mucho que escuchéis el feedback de los usuarios y que vayáis incorporando mejoras de forma constante. A nivel de posibilidades, la verdad es que no hay color. ModularDS me ofrece todo lo que necesito y, además, contar con un soporte tan cercano y atento marca una gran diferencia en el día a día. Así que poco más que añadir: Muy satisfecho con el cambio y encantado de seguir utilizando ModularDS. ¡A seguir así! 😄

A solid control panel for Wordpress
It's not more than 1 year that i'm suing modular consistently on a daily basis. It helped me as a freelancer to efficiently manage more sites from a SAAS based tool. I tended to use self-hosted panels, but recently i decided to quit with them as there were a lot of security related to wp and having sites connected could lead to a chain attack that i want to avoid. Modular is well planned, the UI and UX is clean and the support prompt and always helped with i reported issues (smalll), plus they were able to fix them in a very short timeframe and none of the reported ones were critical. The pricing is also affordable and scalable, so it can only recommend it, plus it's EU based which is a big plus for me, being based in ITALY. Well done modular, i hope you keep nailing it!
