Efficient and fast backup tool for WordPress nevertheless lacks some power-user features
Pros: I like being able to quickly create a backup and upload it to Google Drive, where I have lots of free space. On good hosts (not GoDaddy, in other words) and small-to-medium sized sites, the backup process takes just a few minutes.
If I have to move a client's site to another hosting service I rarely use plugins like Duplicator Pro. Most hosts now offer free transfers and I have better things to do with my time. Some hosts provide quick and easy transfers that require a little bit fo input by me, and that's fine. Cloudways, for instance, uses VaultPress, which I have to install and enter a few settings and some information, press a button and everything is very quickly taken care of.
My favorite use of Duplicator Pro, rather than as my go-to manual backup solution (which is UpDraftPlus) is to create core templates for quickly getting a new site ready to develop.
I've created a couple templates in Duplicator Pro and I have packages ready to install, complete with WordPress/WooCommerce installations and all the basic plugins I need. I customize them according to which page builder I'm using with a new client as well as what custom functionality they require.
This is MUCH easier than building a basic site from scratch every time, installing plugins and settings. Ugh. Never again.
Duplicator Pro makes this easy.
I also like how I can choose the file format for packages. I needed to use this feature when package creation kept failing on a slow, shared host. (GoDaddy, again.
Cons: For my needs as described above, Duplicator Pro is perfect at the Personal license level.
Power-users will miss a few features from other premium plugins. UpDraft, for instance, allows for incremental backups, copying and storing only the files that have changed, making for much quicker and more efficient backups as well as saving space. Duplicator Pro doesn't have this feature.
Overall: I'm grateful that Duplicator Pro allows me to create customized WordPress installations so I can get started designing much quicker.

The best thing about Duplicator Pro is the fact that it automatically updates your data with serialized data when you are exporting the database over to a different domain name. This is a huge time saver when we are doing wordpress backups and migrations.

Definitely give them a try. They have a free version so you can test everything out.

The Duplicator Pro Plugin saves us a lot of time migrating wordpress websites to different servers. It also serves as our primary backup plugin to make sure we always have an up to date version of our website in case something goes wrong.

"Duplicator Pro - great plugin for migrating wordpress websites"
What do you like best?
It works, even on less-than-optimal shared hosting providers. The interface is intuitive and easy to follow. When there are problems generating a duplicator package the troubleshooting steps that automatically appear are also helpful and generally solve the issue without much fuss. There are a lot of options available to both WordPress users and developers who are looking for easier ways to move sites around, and Duplicator Pro works well for us.
What do you dislike?
The installer script tries to process the zip file before it allows you to input database credentials. If you didn't specify the destination details when the installer was created, this is slightly inefficient. It's a minor point and probably somewhat subjective, but I liked the older versions of Duplicator that allowed you to pre-fill the settings even in the generated installer script versus requiring those already be specified when the package is created.
Recommendations to others considering the product
Try the free Duplicator version to get a feel for things, when you encounter situations where the free version is not sufficient, you should give the Pro version a shot. We have not been disappointed!
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Duplicator Pro saves our team substantial time when migrating, deploying, staging, copying, or otherwise interacting with WordPress installations. It eliminates a lot of the troubleshooting & unnecessary workarounds that moving between different environments usually takes. The options available through the plugin make it robust enough to accommodate all of the situations we've thrown at it so far -- it has already paid for itself in time savings compared to other options like manually copying databases and files around.

"Un ottimo strumento per migrazione e clonazioni wordpress"
What do you like best?
Con questo programma si possono clonare e fare backup di tutti i siti in wordpress sia in maniera automatica che in maniera schedulata e programmata e sia per siti in locale che on line. Ottima la funzione che permette di usare come storage di backup sia Dropbox che Google Drive. Inoltre il programma è molto facile da usare, intuitivo e permette di poter usare come spazio di backup quello esterno al dominio interessato risparmiando cosi spazio che potrebbe essere limitato.
What do you dislike?
Sinceramente c'è poco da dire che non mi piace. Il programma provato funziona bene sia in termini di funzioni che come facilità d'uso. Se proprio dovessi segnare qualcosa che non mi piace posso dire che ci sta poco materiale informativo e guide in lingua italiana.
Recommendations to others considering the product
Per chi non ha mai provato duplicator pro consiglio di guardare dei video guida che si trovano su youtube che spiegano bene tutte le funzioni del programma prima di usarlo.
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Si possono duplicare e clonare siti in wordpress sia singolarmente che in massa. Utile la funzione clonazione in caso occorra fare dei test sul sito in cui si sta lavorando. Il costo del prodotto è molto bassa e la licenza per la durata annuale costa circa 100 euro in base alle funzioni. Molto comodo per chi è abituato alle comodità di installatron sugli hosting con cpanel e si trova a dover lavorare su piattarforme sprovviste di installatron.
