Pros

The support forums are a fantastic resource as well. There are quite a few people who generously offer their time to help each other.
Very efficient, easy to use, easy accounting and great support. Perfect for domains and hosting.
It is great that you can resell tons of different servers all from one WHMCS platform, although they definitely do have their favourites.

Pros

The comprehensive database, the intuitive tools, the ease of deployment - all of these are appreciated about this product.
It is popular and used by a few other businesses that we know, so we considered it and the functionality is good.
Love the email tracking and wonderful having contacts all in the same place. As a solopreneur, it is like having a virtual assistant.

Cons

Incredibly poor custoner service, terrible response time, difficult support instructions, slow communications, limited assistance with growth needs.
It is a real challenge to deal with WHMCS on everything. It is also hard to trust such a morally bankrupt company.
We will be moving to another platform that has the same features and costs much less. This company lost its way after it was bought.

Cons

Also, there is a hard limit of 1,000 custom fields, which is not something you can even buy more of, which in my opinion is a severe limitation.
Lack of industry specific columns or trackers. Lack of customization to suit the needs of the industry I was in.
There have been multiple times where we lost data and data was unretrievable.

WHMCS

WHMCS is a good all-around product at a very affordable price point.

Reviewed 6 years ago

We use it for a CRM software with the focus being Client list, Billing, Support.

Pros

WHMCS provides all the basic functionality that a typical CRM software should. It works very well as a generalist software.

Cons

The software is a very generalist software, I would like to see it be a little more advanced. Each module is rather basic and it would be nice to see a little more detail and focus be put into them.

Vendor response

Hi Michael, I'm pleased to hear that WHMCS is meeting your hosting automation needs and general CRM functionality. In the past year we've begun introducing end-to-end automated services with closer integrations in the client and admin area via our MarketConnect feature. We will be expanding the services available through MarketConnect in 2018. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review!

WHMCS

It's fine for starting businesses

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Back in 2014, as I was looking for a CRM platform that could handle hosting customers, WHMCS was the way to go. As my company grew, it was time to invest in add-ons, like integrating Zendesk, Freshdesk and Google Suite reseller portal with our system. ModulesGarden provided us the necessary functionality, but as their policy changed to SaaS, our annual costs raised by over 600%. Without doubt, WHMCS is a great platform. But without the necessary functionality, larger companies will have to invest.

Cons

Price, design and functionality. The admin panel looks outdated, their price policy has changed and the functionality needs improvement. I definitely recommend WHMCS to other my colleagues, but it's not perfect.

Vendor response

Hi there, I'm pleased to hear that WHMCS has been providing your business automation needs for several years; we pride ourselves on our longevity. Our platform is designed with some specific industries in mind and we have a number of developer resources available which allow it to be extended to meet individual needs. The policies and pricing of external vendors and developers is outside our control. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review!

WHMCS

Together with WHM, WHMCS provides a total hosting and billing automated solution

Reviewed 5 years ago

WHMCS (along with WHM) completely automates the ordering, account setup and hosting services of several of my clients, leaving them free to respond to support requests and develop new products. The overall cost of ownership has been low, and the features it provides have paid for themselves several times over.

Pros

WHMCS is very full featured and reliable system, offering just about all the tools you need to provide hosting services to customers. It can work in tandem with a server running WHM to automate the entire processs, allowing you to focus on developing new products and services. There are a multitude of third-party modules available, offering just about any features you may require (such as CRM capabilities, or specific payment gateways). WHMCS is reliable, and my clients make use of it every day for taking orders, managing products, and responding to support tickets.

Cons

The update process can be cumbersome, particularity if you have customized the product in any way, however the support for WHMCS is very good, and usually problems are easy to deal with. I do always try to update our of usual business hours, just in case.

Vendor response

Hi Martin, Thanks for taking the time to write this review. I'm pleased to hear we've been reliably providing all the tools needed for your operations for several years!
