Not Ready for Prime Time

AddonChat is a cheap solution for hobby sites, but it's not ready for prime time. The java based chat is highly customizable on the back end, but the software has not been updated in over a year and a half. This makes the chat software woefully dated when compared to others. For instance, their mobile module simply allows rudimentary browsing from a smartphone or tablet. It is not a true app and so its capabilities are extremely limited so that the module has terrible to non-existent navigation making it near impossible for users to switch rooms and take advantage of the chat features.

Although I have always found Technical Support to be brilliant, there could be a lot more information added to their Knowledge Base to allow customers a better ability to "self help" and troubleshoot their own problems - and offering a "Live Chat" option via the website or a customers account manager would be a great addition to their after sales.

From the time of writing this review there was no service plans offered that cater more towards Business Users and there is currently no ability to carry out partial upgrades (pro-rated) and set up automatic or re-occurring billing which is a shame.

If you are looking for a Java based chat room for your website community than AddonChat is probably one of the better options out there. However, if you want a more live support solution then you might be better off using their other product... (Read the full review)
