About phpFox

phpFox is a social networking platform that helps businesses and communities manage activity feeds, user profiles, events, groups, ad campaigns, and subscriptions, among other processes on a centralized platform. The members page provides a search and filter functionality, which lets users find community members based on multiple criteria, including gender, location, age, and other keywords.

phpFox's RSS feed allows users to share content across multiple channels, such as latest blogs, events, forum topics, and blog categories. It enables members to create business, brand, or public figure groups and pages to share images, videos, music, and other topic-specific content. Administrators can use the drag-and-drop interface to create and distribute polls, quizzes, and announcements, improving overall community engagement. The marketplace module lets users set up multiple product categories and pricing to facilitate buying and selling operations. With the gamification functionality, users can set up activity points, eGift cards, and promotions.

phpFox comes with an API, which lets communities integrate the system with several third-party solutions, including PayPal and Facebook. It allows supervisors to configure the platform in multiple languages, currencies, and user interfaces, including left-to-right or right-to-left. It also provides a built-in chat-box, which enables users to establish two-way communication, share images, and use various reaction tools to send quick responses.

Wow too many too mention, everything from earning potential. Great ranking on search engines due to the content that can be stored within the program. My users rave about the software and Take the credit .... Well I wish I could take the credit. Great Job Peace of mind and reliablilty

Pros

It is such flexible and versitlie software program that it actually grows with your business needs. Its not just an of the shelf solution is feels like it grows and adapts to your needs. With the addition of 3rd Party addons you can get this software tailored to your needs. PHPFox is so robust, its excellent a real heavy weight that just doesnt fall down.

I have no hesitation in recommending PHPFox , when I started I knew nothing about this sort of solution and they have helped even through what I am sure where some pretty daft questions and support me even today.

Customer satisfaction is over loked by software companies but PHPFOX have it in bold. Great customer service.

Cons

I really dislike the fact I did'nt write it....... There is nothing to dislike, yes with any software program there may be a small learning curve but thats like buying a new car. not a problem just goes with the territory.

It has been a very rocky road with phpFox. Just when you get your site running well there will be an update that messes with everything. You will need your own team of developers that will be cheaper in the long run.

Pros

If you need a social platform up and running quickly it can be done with PhpFox... but it will cost you $$$

Cons

It is ALWAYS buggy, server resource heavy, and will always conflict with the 3rd party addons. Every update will cause site and server issues. It is very expensive to maintain and expand if there is a need for more features. PhpFox and 3rd party addon developers will always need access to your admin site panel and cPanel because more than likely no matter how experienced of a developer you might be, you will need their help. PhpFox customer service is very expensive and very unpredictable.

Reasons for Choosing phpFox

I thought this product had more to offer than the other products I have tried but in the end, they will all need a lot more development to customize that cost "more" $$$$.

Phpfox was the best bang for our buck in it's affordable price range, for all the features it offers you really can't go wrong. Their support team is also very helpful.

Pros

I like how phpfox is easy to use. Easy to setup and most of all their support team was always there to help me along the way. They have been so very helpful.

Cons

I can't really think of any cons.. Oh I would be mindful when purchasing apps from third party developers. They are not always all their cracked up to be and sometimes they make your site slow or cause issues and getting help from the third party developers can sometimes be less than helpful. But this is not really a complaint about Phpfox.
