lack of overhead, automation, fit for purpose, the community and the founder, very easy to setup and to use
you set it up once and run it forever Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
steep learning curve as the solution is a collection of bash scripts (comes hand in hand with the lack of overhead... ;-) ... )
the fact that publishes announcements without possibility of hiding them! this is a half joke half true but its annoying... I would like to have a premium feature that would not display this... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I discovered Slickstack recently and I gotta congratulate you for the pragmatic it has been built!
Went down the rabbit hole in the last few months trying to find a solution for deploying WP server on LEMP stacks: easyengine (doesn't seem to be alive anymore), Webinoly or paid solutions such as Runcloud hub. The thing about slickstack is that is built with performance in mind and with a set of fool-proof bash scripts, making it extremely easy to use. Lots of automations such as backups and checks, extremely fast out of the box and great support - which is usually missing on many projects like this.
Managed to get great perf (100 for almost all criteria) in Pagespeed in just a couple of hours - from discovering Slickstack to prod. Definitely recommend giving it a try! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about SlickStack is its simplicity and efficiency. It’s designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible to users of all levels. This ease of use saves me a significant amount of time in setting up and managing my projects.
In addition, SlickStack’s stability and speed are impressive. It provides a stable environment for my projects and its lightning-fast speed improves the performance of my projects, leading to better user experience and potentially higher SEO rankings.
Lastly, the level of support provided by the maintainer and the Discord community is commendable. They’ve been incredibly helpful, providing timely assistance whenever needed. This strong support system gives me confidence in using SlickStack for my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While SlickStack has many strengths, there are a few areas that some users might find challenging:
Restrictions:
SlickStack is designed for optimal performance and as such, it comes with certain restrictions. While these restrictions contribute to its speed and stability, they might limit customization options for some users.
Learning Curve:
Despite its ease of use, there can be a learning curve for users who are new to tech stacks. However, the supportive community and comprehensive documentation can help overcome this.
Dependency on the Maintainer:
While the maintainer is highly responsive and helpful, some users might prefer a solution with a larger team behind it for long-term support and development.
Please note that these points are not necessarily negatives, but rather aspects to consider based on individual needs and preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
