A pretty short blog compared to why vtiger sucks

This quote worries me “Thomas, Thanks for the kind words. In the 5.1 release (due Dec’07)” > Sreenivas Kanumuru

Its June 09 now and I don’t see 5.1 on the horizon yet (apart from beta)

It must be remembered Vtiger is built upon SugarCRM. if you want to see bad code just take a look at sugar.

Sadly the vtiger team decided to buid up from sugar, (they actually lag a fair way behind on features, but I digress) If they had started from scratch I am sure they would have done far better.

I love the argument “it’s Open source so don’t complain” Sorry that just doesnt cut it! Open source should be the leader in showing good design and forward thinking.

Bad open source and there is a lot of it, does not do justice to the wider open source community.

Having said that a CRM is an enormously complicated piece of software. It tries to be everything to everyone.

But a few simple requirements would assist a lot. like how about a simple explanation of what each files main purpose is directly below the copyright notice?

Also smarty is the dumbest piece of software I know!

It’s another language unto itself so code and presentation seperation automatically becomes redundant/impossible.

You might as well include php code in the templates. At least it will outperform smarty 10:1 in the speed stakes.

Also smarty makes things like detailview.tpl possible… Why have one tpl that does everything for everyone. seperate them out into different modules FGS! so that if you want to edit the tpl for say accounts you don’t break the one for say Quotes. I mean FFS they are totally seperate modules!

And dont start me on security? Where do you start to audit something like vtiger/sugarCRM. best to keep it inside a safe intranet.

Guido,

I think that the vTiger team has put a lot of effort in trying to add more features to their fork of SugarCRM. But the way that this has been done is nowhere near optimal.

Cheers.

@me and everyone else — I’d really like to hear people differentiate between SugarCRM (which I personally hate), and the additions that the vTiger team have added or done to the original code. If I am not mistaken, vTiger is actually based on SugarCRM Version 4.0. So when you say X and Y sucks, are you saying that this is a hold over from the original code base, or is something that the vTiger team has implemented and you feel needs to improve. Overall I really like vTiger, after spending a few months of trying to implement (unsuccessfuly) SugarCRM.
