User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its lightweight nature, efficiency, and customization options, especially through shortcodes and templates. It is valued for managing download links effectively, with some praising its simplicity and flexibility, making it suitable for both basic and more complex needs. However, there are significant drawbacks. Users criticize the lack of key features, poor customer support, and issues with refunds and plugin integration. Some also experienced technical problems, such as failed uploads and PHP errors. Additionally, concerns about security, particularly SQL injection vulnerabilities, highlight coding issues that need addressing. Despite the praise, these flaws can heavily impact user satisfaction and functionality.

We did a lot of research into the right plugin for this task, but there are some features you assume a pluign can just do. Like having a car. You assume it has a speedo, or that you can move the side mirrors. You never ask that. So we never asked the question: Can we as Manager of the Download Manager, see on a screen, what someone can view in their downloads? There is one way to do it, but if you have 200, 300, 3000 clients, their fix is, to create a page for EACH client…. that’s their answer. There is no list of users, on which you can click one, and view all their downloads.For a premium product, this is a staggering flaw. So let’s say you run a health and safety business, and each client gets their safety reports.You have no means to find out, if Company A was sent their document in their uploads. I mean, there is one way, but open to flaw yourself. By naming the Download document package correctly. But surely a list of users, you click the user and view all their downloads. Why is that not in the system already???

NOT ONLY THAT THEY DID NOT REFUND THE MONEY THAT THEY WERE LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO DO DURING 14DAYS PERIOD AFTER PURCHASING, AFTER THEIR PLUGINS HAD PROBLEMS TO FUNCTION, THEY asked for logins to fix it and they messed the whole website up. Will never do business again with them they just take your money and run away, Plugins are coded by idiots, it’s impossible to combine it to modern plugins or themes, they keep telling you to buy more plugins to make it work as it should. Seriously stay away from them. This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by rytiskat.
