Free migration service
Switching to a new management platform can be a very costly process when it comes to time and resources. To make it as easy for you as possible, we offer a free migration service.
From websites, to tags and clients, our expert team handles everything for you, including checking that your first backups are correctly processed. We are ensuring a smooth transition so you can hit the ground running and start enjoying the benefits of WP Umbrella immediately.
WP Umbrella offers GDPR-compliant, reliable incremental backups that save only the changes made since the last backup. This prevents site bloat and saves storage space. You can schedule backups to run daily, weekly, or monthly, with an optional hourly add-on, depending on your needs.
Unlike Jetpack, which has hosting restrictions on platforms like Pantheon and stores data globally, our backups are encrypted, easy to restore (in one-click), stored in EU-based data centers, and come with a 50-day retention period for added peace of mind.

*Every core feature is included in WP Umbrella's monthly price of €1.99 per site. Capabilities marked "Security add-on" are part of an optional add-on at 2€/$2 per site per month.
Jetpack is known for its security tools like brute force protection and site scanning, but it lacks the crucial capabilities needed for proactive site protection. In contrast, WP Umbrella's own Security add-on includes a firewall with virtual patching (powered by Patchstack) that actively blocks known vulnerabilities in themes and plugins even when updates aren't available, a network-learned malicious-IP blocklist, attack detections with evidence, and daily malware scanning.
Security hardening (XML-RPC lockdown, user enumeration blocking, login rate limiting, security headers) is included free on every plan. The add-on adds a malicious-IP blocklist learned across the whole WP Umbrella network and a firewall that blocks common attack probes. WP Umbrella continuously monitors vulnerabilities and errors across plugins, themes, WordPress core, PHP versions, and SSL certificates and sends real-time alerts via Slack or email to keep your sites secure at all times.

Jetpack has plenty of features, but it's not designed for WordPress maintenance. When it comes to keeping your sites running smoothly, WP Umbrella takes the lead.

WP Umbrella makes it simple to demonstrate the value of your work with automated, white-label reports focused on maintenance tasks. You can customize them to include updates, backups, security scans, and any custom work done.
These reports can be scheduled weekly, monthly, or quarterly, and branded with your logo for a professional touch. Jetpack offers a basic reporting feature, but it's focused on business operations and general site insights, not on detailed, maintenance-specific reports.
