Do We / Don't We, That Is The Question ?

[INNOVOT]

At present we are a WHMCS (full owned, unbranded license) customer, but unsure for how much longer.  Some may ask why ?  Well in past incarnations I was a developer so do like to poke around in code and cobble things together if need which is difficult with a full encoded software suite.  Does that really matter now ? Yes and no; having a billing system which works is the most important feature to us, but we do have edge cases where we need to work outside of the box and that is where Blesta seems to fit well.  Is that the only reason we are looking elsewhere ? No, we have paid for extra modules/plugins, whether they be from WHMCS themselves or third party but sometimes it a real PIA to get any support.  We did purchase their LiveChat module but as they appear to not want to upgrade it to the latest version we have installed https://livehelperchat.com/ which is awesome, and was found on this forum so thanks  For our business we need to be able to do a few things

 

• Register domains with OpenSRS
• Ability to code/or procure module for Asterisk provisioning billing
• Ability to code/or procure module for Zimbra provisioning and billing (what we have already purchased http://www.modulesgarden.com/products/whmcs/zimbra_email/features)
• Ability to manage PowerDNS (http://www.solutedns.com) are working on that

So not a huge list but one that is important to us, so would welcome suggestions on how we can achieve it ?

 

And not forgetting feedback from the community as to whether Blesta would be the right move from your own experiences.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

 

ps. One other point, which also fits into the encrypted source code debate, please consider your own instead of ionCube so that http://hhvm.com/ may be used!

Thanks for the information. In terms of OpenSRS, there is already a community developed module which you can grab here.

 

In terms of other modules, there are several good developers on the forum here including PauloV, Naja7host, and ModulesBakery (www.modulesbakery.com) that may be able to help.

 

I was looking into Asterisk integration a bit yesterday, I'd love to have it myself, but I don't think the MG Asterisk integration does provisioning does it?

 

In terms of HHVM, PHP 7 (Out in Nov) is probably going to end up effectively replacing it. Still, I will say, you may be able to run Blesta on HHVM in the near future.

regarding powerdns I had whmcs hack for subdomain registry and will port it to Blesta but I'm afraid it will be for our very custom need only
