Why or why not use wordpress for base as crm for customer?

  • Hi! Hope this is the appropriate forum to post this question. Thing is, I’m used to delivering wordpress webpages for clients, these have been pretty simple, in form of using pro templates, customizing and adding plugins if in need for more functionality.

    This time I have a client who asks for a modern customized crm solution, with 2 steps auth, following a customers case with finance loans applications, different user roles doing different things with the different data, possibly integration with email through office365. Stuff like that. I will have to create custom plugins, that’s for sure. My is mysql suitable for ? this and even wordpress?

    So then I also wonder, what will be the downfalls using wordpress as a base for such a web portal? I mean, GDPR data admin, how hard it is to update plugins with new wordpress versions, what are my best alternatives for succeeding with such a solution for wordpress? What should I keep in mind? Or should I just advice them to one of these cloud crms, which surely won’t fit 100%, but no encrypting, data security, gdpr compliance, and hazzle or downtime with updates, even possibly total site crash to worry about for my part.

    Any advice? Thank you.

    Moved to Fixing WordPress, this is not an Developing with WordPress topic.

    I’m also closing this topic. These forums are support forums only for WordPress code, plugins and themes on this site. This is not a support topic. This is an opinion/discussion piece and that’s not appropriate on this site.

    You’re not looking for WordPress support, you want to have a conversation about if WordPress is for you. Which is fine but again not here in these support forums or even this site.

    I suggest you try social media, a blog or other discussion sites.
