History: Why Not

Preview of version: 9

We routinely get questions about why a component is picked or not picked for WikiSuite. When a component has a direct alternative, it will be explained on a page such as Why Openfire. But in some cases, the potential app doesn't line up neatly with what we picked. This page is to explain.

SuiteCRM

SuiteCRM is a software fork of the popular customer relationship management (CRM) system from SugarCRM. The SuiteCRM project started when SugarCRM decided to stop development of its open-source version. The base SuiteCRM application is built on the last open-source SugarCRM release. SuiteCRM is a greatly extended version of SugarCRM which also contains many additional security fixes that are not available in SugarCRM.
