NEW Enhance Roadmap: Page 2 - Enhance Control Panel

NEW Enhance Roadmap

8Dweb

To further add, UI bugs are still a problem. Also in UI
#1 - Need to be able to keep settings on how many sites/etc display - this makes coming back from a customer site a royal pain.
#2 - Some word on logs in the interface really needs to be addressed. This was promised and seemingly now "missing" from planned updates from 2023 until now. Sorry, but customers - particularly resellers must have visible logs in the Enhance interface. It is ridiculous that a customer must contact my team for every stupid thing that may not show up in the php error_log.
#3 - Any plans to get the "setup Enhance" off my login in screen?
#4 - round cube plugins (please don't link me to the one mentioned as third party, we are aware of that one) - we need basic plugins for round cube or else at this stage customers will simply give up, and find one more reason to move to another hosting platform.

I feel similar to @xyzulu

I have a number of other concerns that have now arisen as our customer base was hoping or some near-term resolution when v. 12 release. The long delay on that has frustrated several of our customers and now I have told them, simply do not expect any resolution to these matters in the near future.

I am not happy with the new roadmap, period. my 8D is now 8(

Yeah, logs are a must-have on the new roadmap, along with the already announced one-page theme to help retain clients who sadly prefer the outdated cPanel-style layout.

Number 1 and 3 are definitely annoying, but manageable for now. I assumed v12 was the reason these smaller UI issues hadn’t been tackled yet, but now that it’s out, hopefully, they’ll get fixed soon.

While I appreciate the new way. It would be great to have feature request voting similar to many providers. Also many things that were in roadmap earlier too were missed and forgotten about. Like Nginx customization, No clue about the single dashboard design promised in v12. Even basic bugs are forgotten

There should be an effective way to track bugs and features as that will be more powerful.

Vendoz even with dates it’s always delayed so who cares anymore. ( I stopped stressing myself anymore about it )
Just keep believing and carry on…
I don’t understand the following on the upcoming release… “ When adding a new email address default to the primary domain.”….

mbe81

Kosta Currently when you create a new email address and the website contains some aliases, the domains are sorted alphabetically. So, by default you will create the email address ending at the first listed domain instead of the primary domain which is most often the desired choice.

I was expecting from the previous roadmap to see some features in Q2 2025, now with this roadmap I'm expecting them by the end of 2026 if not later..

My honest opinion is that the previous roadmap added more commitment and transparency.

While Enhance is a solid product in terms of the future of hosting, it still lacks essential features most of them are addressed in the roadmap but when? No one can have a real expectation now.

I hope Enhance can have a faster development in the upcoming releases to heal the broken trust from the v12's journey at least.

Well, I appreciate the effort enhance has on this product, but maybe it would be nice to focus on features that end users use on daily basis before focusing on features that me as a hosting provider use. I would prefer my customer to be comfortable at the expense of a little more work on me rather than making me comfortable then I end up loosing a client because of a feature.

That said, things like:

Change email password via roundcube
Calendar on roundcube
Add other app installers and support other apps like Node and Python
Proxy on website migration to a different server
Be able to backup the control panel
A cPanel like UI

For me, this are very critical. Having a feature like support for other OS distribution etc, I don't see how it is going to help me win a client, when what clients use on daily basis in not there. This being a new panel, it is a bit difficult to convince cPanel diehard clients that this panel is the best, when after onboarding them someone asks how they can change the email password and they can only do it via control panel, which is a difficult task for organizations with many email users. No calendar etc. If something went wrong today and my ECP server is nuked, it will be a disaster for me and my clients as well since everything revolves around the ECP.

My thoughts are, at least do a release for what our client use daily, then the rest can follow. That is in addition to fixing existing bugs.

dilroopgill

wenani 100% this, clients are lowkey better off selfhosting (just so many options outside of WordPress) and grabbing one of the foss panels, good thing they don't know about them lol. Would really like to see some fediverse hosting support, don't expect it to be niche for long and would like to sell hosting services for stuff like peertube through enhance, or mastodon instances, etc.

franco

wenani

That's right.

That's the basics.

It's unbelievable that they prioritize "The ability to download a file backup from a website and import it into another cluster" while the end customer doesn't even have the ability to change their own webmail password.

Kosta

#Please complete all backups related features on the roadmap while working now with backups so never to go back and keep getting complaints!

#then focus on AXFR
Proxy on migration
IPv6 only
Internal network manager

#then focus on email features and nodejs features

#Then focus more on security features to make it easier and more convenient for end users such as pci DSS, ftp secure connections

#then do all the work for app installers and custom freamworks for other apps such as antivirus apps

And so on, the way currently going on the roadmap we never gonna have completely featured abilities into the platform and Enhance team keep going backwards to do more to things that needs to be completed long time ago…

Please finish all related features on backups side before proceeding to other things so never to go back and wait for complaints/ feature requests.

Def doesn’t needs cPanel like UI!

Thanks

gmakhs

Kosta My problem is that the Cpanel like UI was suppose to be READY and tested like 3 months ago as they told us :/
And suddenly it didn't make it to release 😃

i have mentioned bugs that are not even listed on the road map and i have no idea if they are forgotten or being worked on and i don't know how many features or fixes have been advertised as coming shortly from 2023!

MediaServe

Kosta "Def doesn’t needs cPanel like UI!"

I second that! OMG cPanel is so ugly and ridiculously priced. So over that hideous beast.

ecknz

I think the existing bugs and most delayed or requested features should be the priority,
Lots of everyday items that are really needed are neglected, Work on all the new features once these are fixed, No point adding new features only a handful of people will use.

Just my 2 cents.

Kosta

I’m supervisor and project manager:
I can do 50m long ventilation system in couple weeks if I don’t have all materials on site..
And I can do the work in couple days if I have all required materials on site prior to starting engineering works…

Enhance team keeps going backwards to do little bits in different systems…
Complete fully one system then move to other! It will minimise cost and time with 50-70%

Kosta

gmakhs as I mentioned/used my experience in project management…
Enhance team doesn’t seems to know anything of that the way I seen it.
They can simply complete very quickly much more features related to backups, while their developers heads are into backups system than coming back year or 2 later into same system… same as networks features etc.. I can see things from 2023 not done yet …

alenguav

gmakhs If you're looking for software with an interface similar to cPanel, you might consider webuzo.
On the other hand, it's great that the Enhance staff doesn't censor discussions about other software that competes with theirs.

Vendoz

There already is a cPanel UI ready, you can download here: https://cpanel.net/

Everyone has their priorities, it makes no sense to say "this is important to me, that isn't important to me". There are services that are not worth 1 minute of their time for me, but if they do them they are probably indispensable for others. That said, there are some generic/critical features (or simply QoL) that should be a priority because everyone would benefit from them (example: backup download/manager, cp backup, proxy on migration, and so on).

Enhance should have/dictate the priorities (based on the community and their data) and we will have to adapt to their proposals. It is a free market and no doctor sent us here, so if we are here it's because we are happy, and Enhance must work to "convince" us to stay here. Their roadmap hooked me a year ago and I hope there will be more transparency on the direction of development, because now this it is actually too little.

dilroopgill

xyzulu the old roadmap and seeing the updates was why i came here, i like feeling like im seeing activel development and can participate in it, now its like the corporate walls up, gotta get my fix elsewhere lol

gosha

mail domain alias is very needed feature, I believe it's much more needed than catch-all mailbox, really

mike

you didn't want dates on the roadmap ... there you go 😁

DracoBlue

It would have been enough to provide time frames instead of a specific month, and the issue would have been settled, but now nobody knows what, when, or where... For me, changing the map is a big downside.

franco "The ability to download a file backup from a website and import it into another cluster"

Prioritising features is a difficult balancing act for us. Downloadable backups is a feature and somewhat of a bug fix due to the huge volume of support tickets which could easily be resolved by the user if this feature existed.

lcs

I'm excited to see the development continue and even be accelerated. How are you handling that Enhance Team? It sounds like you have some amount of devs working on new features, and others working on bug fixes. From reading this thread it sounds like some things get addressed while other things sit. Obviously the v12/Ubuntu package manager change was huge, and I was waiting for that and a good amount of bug fixes before I tried the panel. There's still some challenges with using it for us, and I'm not sure how we'll get over them. When we create sites, enhance drops a bunch of unneeded/invalid DNS entries into the site. Then, if I sync those to Cloudflare the email will stop working (because we're not using email in Enhance.). Prioritizing some of those quality of life issues (or the simple password change issue that already has a POC on Github) might make a huge difference.

I think you should triple the fee you charge (which is still less than xPanel) and hire a few more devs, buy CPFence outright and merge those devs in as well to have a super secure and cohesive panel.

I don't purport to know anything about development, but I can daydream about it, lol.

gmakhs

lcs Cpanel is charging per account, enhance charged per website they are already more expensive, specially the way the UI is built in...

i personally believe even if they increased the price they wouldnt be able to afford the extra man power.

Developer salary they advertise is around 80000 a year to pay for of them they need 133k websites using enhance, idon't think they are close to this number , and i amnot even adding other business costs etc
