eSyndiCat Pro Directory Software

Author:

I liked the design and features of their software. If they could follow the normal disciplines and fix the bugs and provide actual tech support it would easily be the top selling product. However they dont have a business like approach. They ignore tech support requests. My purchace crashed soon after install so that the admin panel does not work makeing it useless. They are totally ignoring support tickets, and forum posts and contact emails. Their forum also seems to auto adjust the date of posts so that they dont look to be so old. Even so, their forum is littered with ananswered posts.

There are over 100 different bugs reported on the Pro support forums for the latest release of this product. Some bug reports have not been responded to at all since they were made, more than 2 months ago. This is not a product I would trust to run a directory site for my business, especially when my customers pay for listings and positioning. Plus, the templates are next-to-impossible to figure out when trying to customize the look of your site, so everyone's sites look the same. Not good.

I've been using this product for awhile and it keeps getting better and better. You'd be hard pressed to find a better product for the price. Customer service is very good and the admins are active on the forums everyday. Updates on the script are done often and features are constantly added. There was a issue with PageRank not working for the listings for most users, but other than that, a excellent script.

I spent weeks searching for a directory script to use on my site. I was willing to pay for a commercial script as long as it delivers. I've seen a lot of positive reviews for esyndicate, i played around on the demo and visited other sites that uses the software, and I felt it was exactly what i needed. I even considered purchasing the unlimited license. I saw the negative reviews, but i saw more positves. But all the problems I am running into now is exactly what the negative reviews warned us.

I tried several free directory scripts as well as phpLD 2.x and 3.x before learning about eSyndicat Pro (initially version 1.2, now using 2.01 - and one price gets you lifetime upgrades!). This script is unsurpassed for features and support. It delivers everything it promises and the support for importing from other software, configuration, or even quite minor issues is simply superb. I highly recommend this script.

This script seems cool on the surface, but it doesn't take much to understand the real face of it.Support(!) is until you begin to have major problems.Prepare to hear these 3 sentences: 1)Problem is on your server(oh,sure!) 2) Every script has bugs(but not that much!) 3)Reinstall it (yeah I was born to reinstall this every 2 weeks!). People on support(!) forum are rude, childish and anonymous.And yes, if you criticize something about the script in forums it will simply be deleted.What a shame!!!!

I dont agree with the above reviews. This script is full of bugs. Hard to customise.They have only forum support. I would not recommend them. Their is no contact information on their site. Lot of anonymous stuff.

Hi I have been looking for a software to build a directory of local businesses. When I found esyndicat I became just happy. It's worth every dollar I paid. At first support was not so good but later guys explained they were making changes on their site(new design, forums engine upgrade) and now support came back to excellent. I do advise everyone to check this wonderful software. Lots of features, and what's the most important - how easy it can be customized.

Spent 149 USD to purchase unlimited licence. But later found it's so full of problems (messy upgrade), pageRank doesn't work, no user-defined image upload on details page. they promised these so I bought. But got cheated. They didn't release 1.2 on time. And we got a new beta version with a beautiful skin. Promised free support is nothing there. They simply ignore their customers. I have to look at other scripts now. Bye Esyndicat! Forever!

(This is regarding the new v1.2) Well, looks great on the outside but get a few hundred links and it slows to a crawl. Big mistake on my part to purchase. Support has been poor. No solutions, just blame shifting to user's server.

I have been using the paid script for some months. It gives you good first look, but its buggy nature appears soon. The support was good at first, but it now suddenly degenerated into rusty craps. Those guys seemed to have lost interest in developing the script or fulfill their promises. Upgrading is painful and buggy. I have to reinstall the whole thing and manually enter all links into database. Look at their forum for complaints! If you want a script for personal use, it's fun. It'll ruin biz!

I reviewed many scripts out there and demod the front and back ends of them. I found this one and it is the best one I have ever come across. It has everything you need for a professional layout and more. Easy to install as well. I think more people should consider a move to it. I know that there is one real popular one that started out as free and is now paid that does not offer as much bang for the buck. Kevin

Plus points include dynamic page titles, meta tags, detailed pages for all links, links rating and reviews, search engine friendly URLs with mod rewrite and htaccess. Additionally, this software program can easily be used as a niche topic directory or as a product catalog with cash-generating affiliate links. Whatever way you use it to earn revenue, it is easy to install, manage, and customize with a whole slew of templates available. The latest download now includes custom news pages as well.

When I first discovered this script I thought I would just find another links directory. But the others were always lacking some feature I wanted. I gave the free version a try and played around it. It was what I'd been looking for. And I've tried many. But the ProVersion has many great extra features. The developer is always updating the script, adding more new features that users suggest. Support is top notch, with a friendly active forum. Easy install. Give it a try. Thanks Simon and team.

I installed at first the free version, and it worked great... the support via forums was very fast and clear. Then, i bought the pro version...This script has everything you need to start a professional links directory. If you want to spend a lot of money and less features, go to another script. This script is ( or will be ), the number ONE. Thanks Simon to make this.
