Comment to 'In what, technically, UNA is better/different from Boonex ?'
  • 1. MIT license. Monthly fee is for updates for PowerApps only. You don’t have to pay anything if you use CoreApps it if you don’t want to access updates. The license is highly permissive. 

    2. Separated Admin and configuration layers, which is crustal for large scale sites with multiple admins. 

    3. Responsive UI. 

    4. Multiple profiles per account support. Great for sites with various user types. 

    5. Remote media storage support. 

    6. Various types of Feeds. 

    7. Contexts (groups, spaces, channels, events, profiles) and Content logic allowing for unique taxonomies. 

    8. Configurable Notifications if all types. 

    9. Built-in real-time Messenger (NodeJS). 

    As for the update - it’s mostly delayed due to large-scale websites performance updates, so I believe it is a good reason to hold off and improve performance. 

    • Thanks for the list of features, but in a nutshell, tell us the most differences between both ? and bit more of background on UNA team and Boonex relationship ... 

      • Boonex and UNA is the same team. UNA was first planned as a direct upgrade for Dolphin (Dolphin 8, originally), but due to the volume of changes and some core architecture difference, we had to release under a new name. Dolphin is now renamed to Dolphin Classic and is being phased out. 

        We see UNA as a superior platform, by design, but it does take a while to achieve feature-parity with Dolphin, especially if you rely on 3rd party modules. Since UNA 9 practically all main Dolphin features are available in UNA. From UNA10 and further, we will have enough functionality and 3rd party modules to migrate most Dolphin sites. 

        If you are only starting, definitely use UNA.
