They take control over your website

Dan Stein (20).
Posted on 15 July 2017

Functionality

Its overcomplete, it has many nice features built in, and thats the plus. The downside is, thats its a massive, bloated, costly software.

Ease of use

You need no documentation to use it. Its quite intuitive, thats good because documentation lacks of information.

Support

You will not get any support, if you don´t let them log into your site. If you and your client allow this, that support is 90%.

Documentation

You never will get any insight here - its quite incomplete.

Value for money

If you use it for 1 site and never want to fix anything on your own, its worth its money.

I used this to: I wanted a easy blog with good SEO. Easyblog is massive and bloated. It makes callbacks. It has a massive 7-Step Installer, but often you have to download a preinstaller first. Many updates failed last year. You never get support, if you dont give access. Bad choice for MACs.

Owner's reply: Hello Dan,

Thank you for taking the time to post a review for EasyBlog! We value your feedback and it is definitely something we need to look at in terms of troubleshooting a site. Our support team is always fanatic about getting issues resolved and the fastest way for us to troubleshoot any issues at all is to login to the site to see if there are any conflicting plugins or extensions.

It is certainly not an easy task for us to identify any conflict without having access to the site. It's almost like troubleshooting an issue with your eyes closed. Nevertheless, I will convey this message to our next team meeting to find better ways to fine tune this process.

If you require any help at all, please feel free to reach out to our priority help desk and we'll see if there's anything that can be done without having remote hands on your site.

Thanks again Dan!
