V3 Road Map Revision

We are happy to offer 
Glad I built my own desk now, to see you already raising prices makes me just not believe in you anymore at all.
Another kayako on a mission to take as much as they can.
The new pricing applies only for new customers – existing customers will get free upgrade to V3
Hello,
What about if we have a V2 hosted version with a valid upgrade. Will we be upgraded to V3 for free ? If yes, to which version ?
Oh, I got it now: V2 Lite goes to V3 Lite.
Ok.
Are you really going to be increasing the prices as follows…
lite 199.99 to 599.00 a 300% increase
pro 249.99 to 1399 a 560% increase
premium up 733% and ultimate up a crazy 822% ???
Version 3 is going to have to be seriously good to get away with that!
@Gavin – Yes that’s correct as we mentioned V3 is not just overhauled product — we have built V3 from scratch and have introduced techniques that no other competitive products have offered.. Just take an example of Multi-Tasking , Advance Satellite Feature and more..
V3 is not just result of feature request but we have tried to reinvent the wheel and understand each and every aspect of helpdesk software and based on this we are coming up with top class helpdesk software that will offer all in one solution.
Its not too far with V3 beta release – we request our customers to try hands on beta version once released and you will know how pricing is justified..
I have full confidence in the team and I am sure they will release a very good product.
We rely every day on V2 and hope that V3 will introduce more project management oriented features to help us keep up with our clients.
Hardly wait the beta release.
PS: if i have a valid upgrade service (til dec 2012) my V2 lite will be upgraded to V3 for free ?
Thanks
@Dan – yes you have free upgrade to V3.
You bet V3 is adding exciting features and making a complete new experience with web-based helpdesk software.
What happens to current monthly subscribers that are hosting the license themselves? Are you forced to upgrade to SaaS in order to use V3?
@David – Yes for leased license SaaS will be only option — for our existing customers we are not charging anything — we will offer free hosting to existing self hosted customers.
so will satellite sites set up still work on the new version or will they all need to be updated?
Also will you undertake the owned version update and will it keep all the existing data?
@james – yes we will offer migration tool and we will help you upgrade to new version without loosing tickets and other data.
When can we see first BETA?
V3 Public Beta Hosted on our Cloud Servers – Release Date — 8th Feb 2012
today is 8th Feb 2012. wait Public Beta:)
I think the software is still not ready to be released.
hehehe, they will be late for sure.. unfortunately. In india it is already 9 feb …
It seems that we will have installed it in June …not March. Too bad and dissapointed.
hope they will fight with Kayako on the same market but they have another business philosophy.
Its already the 8TH Where is IT!!
also no reply with ticket, no livechat
V3 beta is released now —

Looking forward for your comments / suggestions / bugs / feature request..
If I read your policies correctly (from David’s thread) then your company apparently knows nothing about security. I will not use an SaaS service. If my SSL data is now going to & thru a 3rd party middle-man (Vision) then I have lost control of it. That is not security. Your assurances mean nothing. Security is not built on assurances, it is built on control. The fact that a company in India makes the software doesn’t matter. The fact that you want me to tell all of our law firms clients that all the info contained in support tickets of passwords/configuration will be routed thru a company in India is not acceptable. This is not security as used by any professional. So I’m guessing I will either have to purchase (not likely) or abandon your product after apparently wasting a lot of time on it.
@Kevin — The servers are hosted in US DataCenter so nothing routing through India.
Your concern is less about security but more about not being comfortable having your data on hosted servers. (I completely agree and respect your company policies)
Security issue is not just with hosted servers but it can be even on your own server – nothing is 100% safe on internet.
Here is my suggestion –
Currently you are using leased license installed on your server – you are paying $30 per month – Still you can purchase V2 Owned License which is relatively less cost as compared to V3 pricing.

On purchase of V2 license you will get FREE upgrade to V3 equivalent Owned License.
Email me at Sales if you have more questions – I will be happy to help you.
Is the new version 3 going to maintain integration with WHMCS ?
@Kevin – yes WHMCS integration will be there in V3.
Is the upgrade to V3 available also for free license users?
Things are looking too silent. No updates on new release and no chatter from users. Odd.
Any new release date for V3?
Any updates on the updated release date?
