Pantheon vs WP Engine
Pantheon® was built to serve Drupal customers and they later added a WordPress solution. That causes their engineers and support employees to be spread across two separate technologies.
At WP Engine, our 600+ employees are focused on bettering one platform; WordPress. We focus exclusively on WordPress speed, reliability, security, and scalability, so you don't have to.
Why do companies of all sizes choose WP Engine over Pantheon?
It's literally like having an army of WordPress experts on your side.
WP Engine knows how to optimize for WordPress and it shows everyday!
Swift replies, but also very open to feedback and eager to improve. Almost like unicorns!
