I purchased WP Portal back in November and have been actively using it for several months. As you can see from other reviews, there's potential with this plugin, but still quite a bit of functionality missing.

The main reason for my rating is lack of recent updates. All the items on the roadmap are 5 months old. The most recently completed roadmap items are over two months old at the time of this review. Development seems to have stagnated, which is unfortunate. The last plugin update was pushed out mid January (over two months ago).

I'm not referring to major features/updates either. For me, one of the biggest issues deals with time entries. While you can assign a time entry to a project and specific task of that project, nowhere does this information (the task) carry over. When you review time entries for a project, all that is displayed is the project name. This is not very useful when you are billing clients based on tasks and multiple tasks are in active development at the same time. Also, you cannot edit time entries and/or add manual entries (if you forget to start/stop a timer, too bad).

Also, Portal feels a bit slow. It's not earth shatteringly slow, but still sluggish nonetheless.

Then there's the documentation issue. Sure, there's a KB with a few items, but that can hardly be considered proper documentation. Fortunately, support is usually quick to respond, but proper documentation can go a long way to reducing support requests.

As I said, it has potential. If the current feature set meets your needs, then it's a tentative buy. For me, that lack of recent updates is a bit worrisome. I do hope the author is planning to continue development, otherwise we'll be looking for an alternative solution in the future.
