Amazing software, probably one of the best!
Outstanding! I enjoy every feature this software has to offer, no complains at all.
- No word will express how good this app is
- Probably one of the most reliable ones out there
- I use it for my WordPress blog and it is extremely fast, responsive and offers amazing features on the go, right from your phone
- Nothing so far, it has been absolutely amazing and a pleasure to use

Valuable features, once free, now expensive
It gave me good ideas of things to code myself instead of being on another subscription. For someone not wiling or able to develop their own similar features it is a great product.
- They set the standard for several of the features offered
- They used to be free but over the years they have started charging for nearly everything
- You have to constantly keep it connected to their site
- Nearly every little feature comes with individual monthly costs
- I'd be more likely to buy something and own it rather than pay rent

A test run after not using it for years after everything became monthly paid subscription.

It's good but it's slow
The experience itself is good. It makes it easy to manage multiple sites at once, it makes it easy to manage your plugins and themes, to copy, migrate and backup. It also has great security and monitoring functions, with spam control in the comments. The problem is that many functions come from servers external to your site, this increases the latency, also its core is quite heavy even for local functions, it seems to drag an elephant. We didn't get a good performance in SEO analysis with it, maybe precisely because our focus was not to put a powerful server to serve the site. If you have the budget and multiple sites, it's sure to be a great solution.
- The good thing about JetPack is that it is from the same root as wordpress, and it has many additional functions that the wordpress core does not have
- The good thing about it is that it's a Swiss Army knife to manage a site collection
- It has improved a lot since the first time I used it, at least many functions were added, perhaps copying ideas from other plugins
- But still I find it very slow, it seems something extremely heavy (painfully), it seems to connect to external servers with a lot of latency
- Everything is time consuming to be done there
- Dashboards are also confusing
- The idea is good, but I can't consider it a good implementation
- It might be better if you use your site on a cloud provider with a good budget, if there are resources left it might be worth it, but for shared hosting or with VPS with modest resources it won't do

Today we have several situations: simple sites we use manual backup, complex sites or migrations we use UpdraftPlus, more expensive sites with good servers we use JetPack to manage.
Why they chose it
"As our first focus was backup and security we tried alternatives, but the alternatives were all focused on another function, not nearly all the functions of JetPack."

Jetpack
The jetpack WP plugin helps our web design department to remain productive by offering our websites tremendous SEO page speed boost. It's a plugin we can't do without.
- Jetpack (by Automattic) provides a variety of helpful solutions for its WordPress users and including which is Jetpack boost and a few others
- We use it regularly to enhance the performance of our web pages and have them run better
- Jetpack boost helps us to reduce excessive server requests by constantly regenerating large CSS files and compressing them into lighter ones---this helps boost our website speed Insights
- Vaultpress backup & JetPack protect help us to add an extra measure of security to our websites (for data loss, web phishing, malware, etc) and client's in combination with WordFence and this really helps out
- The Akismet anti-spam add-on helps us to stay safe from dangerous, annoying, unsolicited, and overwhelming comments from anonymous WordPress users
- This works pretty well when associated with the VaultPress & Jetpack protect add-ons
- With jetPack, we can create awesome tiled galleries, responsive carousels, and many other nice decorative features
- Our marketing team strongly relies on JetPack CRM and social for a better experience
- They create weekly posts ( on schedule) and utilize them for ad campaigns on Google, Bing, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedInThe plugin itself (JetPack) despite all its add-ons is lightweight and runs smoothly and the cost of using it is very low
- I really recommend it
Nothing wrong with Jetpack apart from JetPack boost which sometimes can take a longer time to generate CSS files for a particular website
Switched From
One major reason why we had to switch from using these individual plugins to an all-in-one compacted plugin is because of the bounty space they occupy on our virtual servers beside this are many other reasons which are all associated with their individual behaviors.

A truly awesome (free) WP plugin!
Overall, my experience has been generally good. However, other plugins perform better in particular areas - ie. for SEO, or contact forms. But of course, the benefit of Jetpack is it's all in one.
- The core plugin is free - there are options to upgrade though
- The visitor engagement stats are an important part of marketing data
- I like that it's a tried and tested (ie
- trusted) plugin - so it's updated frequently and you can rely on its quality
- It can be a little overwhelming at first as there are SO many features
- It's not always easy to find the exact thing you're looking for
- Navigating it takes some getting used to

My all in one web Pack
It helps us to boost our website's speed performance and for a free plugin, I would say- it isn't a bad option at all.
- Jetpack helps us to reduce load balancing and slow loading issues
- The JetPack boost extension is my favorite
- We use it for SEO-related tasks
- It's somehow lightweight and very effective
- This plugin helps us to lazy-load images, compress Html, and minify javascript files as well as CSS & SCSS
- It also provides accurate Insights about the responsive nature of our websites (desktop and mobile) and automatical suggests sectors that need improvement
- The plugin is easy to use and its freemium version offers lots of impressive features
- There is Nothing bad with the plugin so far

An Essential Tool for Wordpress Sites
Firstly, let me say that Jetpack is a fabulous tool for all blogs. From the way that it handles spam to security and load time, it's a lifesaver all over the place. With that said, if I had to choose something to nitpick about, it would be the way that it can sometimes take over parts of your website. It's usually small things, but it can set automatic picture sizes, or override style settings, which can cost hours in hunting for resolutions. One of our mantras with wordpress websites is "When it's broken, disable Jetpack first". It's just a piece of software that thinks it knows best, and while sometimes it does - it would still be nice if it just didn't default to being in control. That complaint aside, the hours it will save you in spam filtering, image resizing and site speed optimization are worth any angst it may cause from time to time.
Full of light-weight features to improve your website, not terribly expensive for the feature list, has a really great free options with tons of value
Can sometimes conflict with other plugins or themes, has a tendancy to "takeover" certain aspects of your site without your knowledge

JetPack is Essential for Website Security
I have been able to improve how I use my forms and advertising methods, measuring results from Jetpack. However, the greatest benefit has been the site security.
- With Jetpack working in the background, I can calmly perform my marketing duties
- Jetpack keeps me informed on traffic, updates, threats, and functionality of the website
Some image management programs on Jetpack may result in the absence of images or media on the pages when needed
Why they chose it
"Jetpack came recommended by a staff member."
