Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There is no positive side I can mention. From the team to the overall software, everything is incredibly unprofessional.

Cons

  • The system is burdened by an outdated architecture and a terrible codebase. When it comes to customization, most plugins are outdated or incompatible, and the themes are a chaotic mix of templates filled with intertwined, outdated Javascript and PHP code from a decade or more ago.
