Great software!
It does what I need, and it is easy to use. The devs have managed to make lots of features accessible from a simple to use interface. One thing I look at with FOSS is how long the project has been active. Epesi has been actively developed for a long time. The devs are in it for the long haul.
Epesi is rock solid, and so are the people behind it!

Take advantage of open source software and already existing solutions. Epesi was translated by User Community into approximately 40 languages and was successfully deployed and it's used for many years by hundreds of businesses around the world saving them thousands of dollars in monthly per user access fees.

Integrated Epesi Store provides a "click and install" easy way of adding additional modules and we have over 50 of them, some free and some available at very affordable rates saving you a lot of development time and money. All modules come also with a source code, therefore it's easy to use them as templates and customize to fit your special needs.
