Hi all,
we had this discussion already with the webuzo team and believe we hit some open ears for that, but now want to start a public discussion and listen what you think about it.
As we started exploring Webuzo we were not quite sure what it is, a scriptinstaller with integrated controlpanel, or a controlpanel with a subsection called scriptinstaller.
We tested all well, we integrated UI Experts to judge about easy of use, we put some novice users in front of it and gave them certain tasks (add a domain, an email address, install a script and so on.)
Well, the result was not a surprise for me personally. Nobody really understood the product and most of the users had difficulties they would not have with compareable products. Even some of our Administrators were confused during use, although (with respect to their general experience) they could handle it easier.
Navigation is confusing, you never really know where you are and how to get back. You can´t really brand Webuzo upfront before delivering to clients (on a VPS for example) and thousands more things like that.
That brought us to the question: what is Webuzo?
And our clear answer was:
No idea, but it should be a Controlpanel with integrated Scriptinstaller.
Let´s face it: When do you need a scriptinstaller in a single user CP? I bet 90% of all users use it once to install wordpress, Joomla or something like this and then.... maybe for a reinstall. But most of the time, they add new emailaddresses, change ftp passwords, install a certificate, set a password for a directory, have a look at the logs, watch statistics and so on.
But currently, the Scriptinstaller is overwhelming the UI and the confusing concept makes it impossible for us to use it as a general offer to clients. We are simply afraid of the support burden that may arise out of it being too heavy.
So our suggestion was:
Make Webuzo a full Controlpanel with the proper look & feel and subordinate the installer part.
What do you think about? What is your experience? Any Suggestions?
We would love to hear and share the ideas.
