DotNetPanel

Testimonials

"When I decided to make a substantial investment to upgrade and enhance my existing hosting infrastructure one of the key features I highlighted for development, aside from new physical servers and colocation facilities, was my existing control panel system. I investigated a number of different control panel solutions - from the largest and best known systems such as cPanel, Helm & Plesk to a number of smaller lesser known options. I shortlisted a small handful of solutions and setup test VM environments. I tested each solution based on features, speed, compatibility with my environment / requirements, ease of use and quality of support during testing. Within reason, price was not a factor in my decision. In the end, DotNetPanel was the clear winner throughout my tests. The features list is impressive and far ahead of most of its competition. I picked up and deployed the software straight away with only minimal reference to the documentation required – commendable for a software product of this complexity. The test users which I asked to assess the solutions from an end user perspective commented on the ease of navigation and clean interface. Whilst the project itself may not be quite as mature as some of its more ‘grown up’ competitors, on top of the impressively responsive official support there is a direct and real involvement with users through the support forums which adds a community feel and confidence that the development team really are as excited about their product as I am about mine – essential in my opinion for any solution which will be so central to my own efforts. I had decided on DotNetPanel long before I investigated the cost of the solutions, and in this department I was in for one final impressive surprise; the DotNetPanel system is incredibly good value at a fraction of the cost of most of the competition. I now look forward to the future with new found levels of confidence in my hosting systems, and that is in no small part thanks to DotNetPanel."

"DonNetPanel have my full support.  As a fellow .net developer, I know how much work is involved developing a product like this, and keeping up with all these support posts, progressing the panel and staying in front of competition; I think the team do exceptionally well.  I think there is more than enough working features in comparison to the competition and at the speed this product has been developed I give my thumbs up."

Matt Morrison, Opal Logic Ltd

"I spent 3 weeks evaluating other control panel softwares(helm,Plesk,Hosting Controller) and constantly came up against problem after problem , Finally after a huge amount of frustration I decided to try DotnetPanel. I was up and running in less than two hours in a test environment with everything running the way it is supposed to. You cannot beat DNP for simplicity, ease of use , ease of installation and configuration. DNP is feature rich and provides us with all our needs at a more than reasonable price. I am ordering the full version today and I expect to be running live on our servers by Tomorrow. I am delighted that I found this product."

"I feel very compelled to add my 2-Cents. I have been Marketing, Selling, and Managing Products for the Microsoft Platform for many years. I recently began a transition into the Development Industry. I have seen & participated in the creation of many PROFITABLE software applications. PROFITABLE is a relevant word, meaning someone who sells something INFERIOR many more times, might be considered PROFITABLE and/or SUCCESFULL. I disagree. Now I am transitioning into Development, so I can finally appreciate that which has made me so much money.

Bottom line, DOTNETPANEL, is made by DEVELOPERS & INDUSTRY LEADERS rather than people who want to make money and take the PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

Every single aspect of DNP has been thoroughly thought out with the most cutting edge development technology taken advantage of.
Easily Implemented.
VERY cost effective. EXTREMELY.
Building on top of DotNetNuke was just GENIUS.
I really hope the rest of the Hosting & Automation Community can appreciate what these Gentlemen have done.
QUITE FRANKLY the best darn SUPPORT & UPGRADES & QUICK FIXES I have ever received.
I did not mean to ramble, but I have seen & worked on every single (More or Less) known Control Panel there is for Windows. And this is the BEST. PERIOD. END OF STORY. I understand there might be some DIE HARD holdouts. OK with us Developers. Work harder, I DARE you. That’s leaves more time for the rest of us to make GOOD SOFTWARE!!!"

"Even as a small start up company, you want to use a stable product for your provisioning system. The next important issue is the pricing of the product. And I have not seen any product, where you get so much value for the money you pay.
But.. what is much more import. The DNP support is awesome. The response time is wonderful :)
When programming a software like DNP, which has to run so many different server installations and configurations, it is very hard to cover each configuration possible. The programming team does a great job. The update from 1.0 to 1.5 enhances DotNetPanel on each and every side.
I am looking forward to see DotNetPanel developing and I am happy to be part of it."

"I have been using DNP for about 4 months now and following are the reasons why I think you guys are doing a great job:

  • Usability/Flexibility: After a small learning curve, I now find the panel easy to use, the whole setup seems to make sense and almost every commonly used option is just a few clicks away. On top of that you can easily customize and localize the front end as it is actually running on the standard DotNetNuke framework.
  • Support: DNP developers give great (free) and quick support. If they can't help you on the forums or by mail they will fix the issues you have on your server themselves.
  • Features: Since the update to version 1.5, DNP has become a mature panel which can easily compete with any Windows panel on the market. Most commonly used service providers are supported, and new ones can be implemented on request.
  • Stability: Although DNP is still a young product, it find it extremely stable. I have come across a few bugs when using the panel, but fixes were provided very quickly every time.
  • Price: Compared to other panels and given that all core features are included in the license, I think this is the best bang for the buck you can get.
  • Customer minded - Rapid development: This is what I appreciate the most, the DNP guys really listen to the customers what functionality they require and what they would like to see different in the panel. Clear roadmaps are published and updates are delivered within the estimated schedule."

"I would have to say that I have never had such a great experience with a software product. Although not all possible scenarios are covered yet, most are added to the TODO list when brought to the attention of DNP staff and if they make sense. The response from DNP staff has been above any expectations.

This is the first CP that I have felt comfortable enough with to purchase, and that was while it was still in beta. So my hat is off to the team at DNP.

I look forward to future releases and a long term relationship with DNP."

"I remember when asking Feodor questions on this product I was sold even if only 50% of the stuff he promised came through. Instead I received 150% from Dot Net Panel. However besides the outstanding software is the support. Many potential customers should take extreme comfort in knowing the support on this site is top notch. I am very pleased and more than satisfied how Feodor is so quick to help me out personally online. I know Feodor has a large crew helping him out and I would like to thank them to also. Paul and Rubal have also been highly supportive on these forums."

...If you've never used DNP, you need to something fierce.  Since I came from the net admin side, I want everything even if I don't need it (because hey, I might ...someday)... Yes, it's that good and better...No, I don't own any type of share of DNP, nor do I know anyone that works there, nor getting anything for free from them (unless they'd like to!) -- I just happen to like stuff that works the way it should.
