"Blesta v3 final will be released on August 14th."

Blesta v3 will hopefully be viable..a few months from now. They kinda half-assed the release just to get it out the door.

I can't feel it, just feels to empty/

Blesta is horrible performance wise.

@darknessends what is your opinion, I have only used one of them so I would like your opinion? or is this yet another 1 line thread you start asking for answers while contributing nothing and never returning to update the thread?

darknessends

Here I am updating the thread @AnthonySmith - brother.
I have used both of them, other than the order page I found blesta more good. With the V3 out which I am about to use in few days I would like you guys to try the trial and see if it is good enough against WHMCS. I have not compared them deep enough.

Well I can't use sisow - iDeal with blesta so that pretty much avoids me from using them.

Interesting, is there good third party module support and API documentation?

darknessends

Yes, check out their website, supports solus built in.

I will try it one of the areas that I hope it can out perform whmcs is that in the payable, most of the time your not too sure of your cost to do business with whms if you pay bills there is no way to run a budget inside of whmcs and I like the milt company feature....

So blesta was overhyped after all? Who has switched?

Blesta definitely has a bit of ways to go. I personally wanted to jump the HostBill ship due to the ever changing prices and update policies now. I'm also not sure how much longer my $80/yr will hold up. Poor business planning on HB end.

Back to Blesta.. It does still lack compared to modern day billing systems. I personally think v3 took way to long to come out and it made them a few years behind the curve. I did buy the license but most likely will wait and see what 3.1 or 3.2 holds. I did love the fact the code was open and even started scaffolding some custom modules but decided it wasn't worth it at this point in time (time wise). As a sidenote, i wish they would of went with Smarty for templates as their current solution has so much PHP in HTML its redic.

MrObvious

You can use either smarty, or php. If smarty, just rename things to .tpl, or if you want to use php, .php.

Like I said though, v3 feels rushed out the door, things don't work properly, the order forms are stupid, there's no backend management for administrators (ip management is the big one here) etc.

It just wasn't ready for release, because it's barely even usable.

Yes and still developing. Blesta is open for third party modules and very friendly to their creators. We are finishing work on module cPanel Extended For Blesta which should be released within no longer than 2 weeks.
