Great timesaver and excellent support

This is definitely the best way to upgrade Joomla. It is easy to install, understand, and use. Support is outstanding. I had an issue that ended up being a Joomla problem. Support was persistent and patient in helping find the problem.

Excellent choice!

I tried this extension, because I had a lot of problems to upgrade my joomla site from 2.5.16 to 3.x.x

With this extension, the update became too easy! I'm a rookie, but this was a piece of cake.

Panayiotis has been born to make our lives easier!

Thank you!

Thank You SP CYEND!

Migrating from 1.5 to 2.5+ is not for the faint of heart. This process is timely and can be complicated. Purchasing this extension is well worth every penny, and the support team at SP Cyend will stay with you every step of the way. If you run into issues, an email to Sp Cyend and they will promptly get back to you with as much support as you need.

Ask yourself: **WHAT IS THAT WORTH TO YOU**

Important - If you are upgrading Community Builder, YOU MUST go into you PhpMyadmin first on the DESTINATION site (_user table)and create all fields and columns so they match exactly with your source (_user table)database table. Do this before you attempt the CB extention transfer.

Thanks again SP CYEND Support Team!!

This is a must!

I don't usually take the time to write reviews. But in this case i told the develope, Panayiotis Halouva, I would. I accidentally purchased their other extension SFTransfer because I was too in a hurry to read what it actually did. I wrote an email asking about a discount perhaps since the original program didn't do what I needed. Instead he replied with a copy of SFUpgrade for free! I was astonished. I installed this extension and literally within a couple of minutes I had the new 2.5 site up and running. There were only a few items from an FAQ extension that didn't copy over properly. But that minor. This extension probably saved me a weeks worth of time migrating individual menu items, articles, etc...on my client's very large website. I can't recommend this extension and the developers of it enough!

SP Upgrade - a great migrator

all migrators work around same principle but spupgrade did a very neat job of migrating over joomla/k2/vm around 600 products without any hitch except for the vm images which i would do one by one. no prob. but you see spupgrade did a fantastic job regarding content, layout etc. so neat and perfect . the support guy Panayiotis - wow - never gave up- paid around $50 singapore dollars for the extension - worth every cent.

Had a problem using it online to bring over my 1.5 website at first but i think that was because i didn't migrate the user, sections, categories and articles at the same time. I moved it to my offline xampp localhost and the migration worked out great. Easy enough to use and gets the job done when used properly. Also I emailed the creator about a problem i had and had quick and good support.

Unbelieveably Good

Not only is SP Upgrade very simple and efficient but when I needed some technical support, Panayiotis came to my rescue. All in all I highly recommend SP Upgrade.

A simple migration tool that works

After wasting days on a 'free' migration tool that I couldn't get to work (nor could many others judging by the forums)I paid the modest sum for this one.

It installed and just worked without any problems including migrating the Agora Pro database.

I also liked the concept of migrating into a fresh system that you can test and adjust first before implementing it on the live system.

Magic!

1.5 to 3.1 - Great

I had to migrate my joomla site from 1.5 to 3.1 due to security issues. Rebuilding the whole website will have been a migthy task that's why I decided to give SP Upgrade a go.

I follow the instructions and the migration occured but for some reason a couple of items failed (I think my site is a bit old an intricate). Since I couldn't use the migrated 3.1 site I was going to ask for a refund.

Cyend were professional in their approach. They offered me the possibility of a refund but also offered to help me sort out the issue with the migration.

In the end they sorted out the problem and now I have a working 3.1 site on which I will have to make some adjustment but the migration saved me lots of works.

Totally recommend them. They were responsive in a timely fashion, concise and effective in their approach.

Thanks guys!

Essential upgrade tool

Without this update component, I would never have been able to migrate my sites to 2.5

One or two connection issues between different hosting companies where the old and new websites were situated, but each time I needed help my request was swiftly dealt with by Panayiotis.

A lot of work has gone in to this component which has made updating my websites relatively simple, and easily worth the modest cost.
