    Awful Service

    Updated: Sep 02 2020
    Summary

    Awful. Stressful. Waste of money. No support, nothing ever done in real time and you can't even talk to a person on the phone. BEWARE!

    Positive

    Design. There literally are no other pros. The site lags forever and you can not even talk to support on the phone.

    Negative

    Slow slow slow, lagged. I hated the fact they don't come in for support until 9:30 PM EST so if your site is down and you are in the USA, you're just completely left to hang. My site is down for 15 hours now and they tell me 24-48 hour response time. BEWARE!!!!!

    Hi Jason! We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our product. We appreciate your feedback and we want to address your concerns. First of all, our source code does not slow down your platform as it can be hosted anywhere. You can host it with any hosting service that meets your needs and budget. It depends on how you scale your platform and optimize your resources. The performance issue may be caused by many reasons, not the source code itself. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our support hours. We are based in a different time zone and we try to provide the best service possible within our working hours. We understand that this may not be ideal for some customers and we are working on expanding our support team and availability. Lastly, we value your satisfaction and we want to help you resolve any issues you may have with our product. Please feel free to open a support ticket with details about the problem you are facing and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope to continue providing you support.

    Very expensive and bad service.

    Date: Mar 18 2019
    Summary

    Do not make the mistake that we made. It costs you money.

    Positive

    It looks nice....but only looks.......... .

    Negative

    Two big problems that make this script or platform VERY expensive;
    - support: after you have bought it, you have a few months support. You ask something, it taes several days for the answer, that mostly is not an answer to what you asked. You lose a lot of time and after a few months they stop support, unless you pay further support.
    - customization: if you want to personlaize the script /platform you have no other choice than asking it to the people of phpfox. This can become very expensive. BUT, the biggest problem is the fact that EACH time that they launch an upgrade, you have to ask them again to do that customization and of course, this will not be for free. We bought this platform a few months ago and there have already been 3 upgrades. Money, money money!
    Looking on Google other people also have problems with Phpfox

    Hello Johan V. Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with our product and service. We value your opinion and we want to address your concerns. First, we apologize for the delay in our support response. We were experiencing a high volume of requests and we are doing our best to assist every customer as soon as possible. We offer free support for the first year after purchase. After that, you can either choose to renew your support subscription or access our extensive documentation and community forums for help. We understand that customization is important for your website. Our product is designed to be flexible and adaptable to different needs and preferences. However, customizations require coding changes that are not compatible with our updates. That is why we recommend using our customization service, which ensures that your customizations are properly integrated and maintained with every update. We charge a reasonable fee for this service, which covers the time and effort of our developers. We appreciate your business and we hope that you will give us another chance to serve you better.

    A bunch of thieves based out in vietnam pretending they are in the usa beware.

    Date: Jun 20 2019
    Summary

    Stay away go for other open source of better quality like UNA or social engine or Elgg.

    Positive

    Nothing but issues from the beginning... all they do is apologize and tell you to send them the feedback which they queue while charging you for support and never do anything... They have no major update or vision... It's probably one person working on the code....

    Negative

    Stay away from this bunch if thieves and crooks unable to fix any issues or lying about everything they do or sell. They have no business acumen and no work ethic, they actually despise their western clients.. And there is nothing you can do but post bad reviews since they are so far away from any kind of liability.
