Description for SP Upgrade & SP Transfer are the wrong way round on JED so purchased wrong product



Posted on 08 February 2022
Functionality
Description for SP Upgrade & SP Transfer are different on JED to the devs website. SP Upgrade does not have the functionality stated here.
Ease of use
If you get the correct extension! SP Upgrade would not transfer core articles from J3 to J4. SP Transfer did it first time.
Support
Did not respond to email but did move my subscription to SP Transfer (without telling me) when I pointed out descriptions here were wrong.
Documentation
Documentation is good, but unless you read it before buying, you are likely to purchase the wrong extension for the job
Value for money
If you get the correct extension for the job, it save a lot of time. Buy based on the description here and you will waste hours.
I used this to: I was migrating the core data from a J3 to J4. I ended up having to do the transfer manually because I had no email response to my support request. When a few days later I logged in, they had moved my subscription from SP Upgrade to SP Transfer(not telling me), so I now have both

Confusing store



Posted on 06 October 2016
I used this to: I would have used it to upgrade a website. The download, however was for the database transfer.
I cannot recommend this until the developers sort out their links!
Owner's reply: Can you please contact with us in order to be able to assist you? If you got the wrong product, we must give you the correct.
For no reasons you should spend money on something that is not working.

Wait for your feedback.
