Praised as the best composer on the market, we immediately noticed that it had major flaws. The use of our own cloud immediately revealed itself to be a major flaw because it took us up to 6 minutes to wait to be able to make a change to the text block. We installed the Virtual Composer Tester template on the site to ensure maximum compatibility but nevertheless the problems continued. Not only that, but after the last plugin update it became impossible to make any changes to the pages because trying to remove or delete a widget, even a simple text block, caused the page to crash and lose all its content. Furthermore, the cloud system slows down the loading times of the site which receives a poor score on GTMetrix. We contacted the support center but after 10 hours of waiting we received no assistance. Even though on the manufacturer's website they say to respond to everyone within 60 minutes and we didn't do it over the weekend but during the week. We tried uninstalling the plugin and re-installing the previous version of the plugin, the one that initially worked, but this crashed the entire site, forcing us to carry out 3 restore/backups of the site. Very bad experience. We hope for a refund but we are not sure we will be able to obtain it, given that support does not provide a specific "satisfied or refunded" item, nor does it provide a specific ticket to request a refund

I'm not a pro, but I can tell you this: Unlike other page builders, VC required me to bump my PHP memory settings up by 100%, from 128MB to 256MB. Never had to do this for Beaver Builder. In VC's system status dashboard, my site is never connecting to VC's AWS, account, or large data transfer. My ISP has audited the connection and there is no blockage on their end. Hmm. Sluggish. Default responsive setup is awful - my site content is using 15% of the screen width, with huge margins on either side. I don't want to have to hand-tune every page element to make it readable. Right now I can't even edit my pages. Gutenberg loads fine, but VC just sits there and spins the loading indicator. I'm done with it.

I've been using Visual Composer Website Builder for over a year now. I absolutely love how interactive it is and how I could custom my website live and easily! Highly recommend for anyone who has a beautiful vision for their website but isn't exact sure how to do it! I recently ran into an issue that came up after updating to the newest version of WordPress, where the plugin disappeared off my dashboard and my website looked like a complete mess. I reached out to the support team for some guidance and they told me exactly what to do to fix it as it was just an issue that came up with WordPress. My website was back to looking flawless in less than 24 hours! I have a lot of praise for this plugin; just try it and you will not be disappointed!

This plugin should be a founding member (or at least aknowledged as one) of the growth of Wordpress! Sure it is not as popular as before, but one thing is for sure, you build it once and it stays built and reliable!

If you are creating websites professionally this is not the plugin you want. It is very clunky and you WILL have issues updating the plugin, WordPress Core, and other plugins as well. What we noticed are the following: The undo feature isn't always available, so if you remove something and want it back, you may not be able to do it. There is no option for minimum height of a row at all whatsoever. You have to use margin and padding to emulate that or you have to hardcode it in. It puts spacing between areas where you may not want it. In order to remove that spacing you have to use negative margins, which isn't ideal. When you design a page, we have noticed that when coming back to make updates, there are areas that you can't even see anymore. It's hard to explain, but all I can say is it's totally frustrating when you can't do anything.This plugin will BLOAT YOUR DATABASE. It doesn't matter what the size is, you're going to wind up finding out that you're site is HUGE when it shouldn't be. After troubleshooting we found it was creating empty tables. We had to manually optimize it and clean out all of the excess junk it creates.It's doesn't play well with other plugins. There's no telling which ones until you finally figure it out when something doesn't play nice.
