What EspoCRM actually does
EspoCRM is a customer relationship management platform built with a single-page application frontend and a REST API. It allows organisations to track interactions, manage accounts, and handle sales pipelines through a browser-based interface. The system relies on PHP for its backend execution.
Best fit: It suits teams that require a self-hosted platform to manage customer interactions and need programmatic access via a REST API. It is also an option if you prefer a single-page application architecture for your CRM.
Worth knowing: You should check the implications of the AGPL-3.0 licence closely if you plan to modify and distribute the software or offer it as a service. It may also require significant configuration to match specific enterprise workflows.
Deployment notes
As a PHP application, it typically requires a web server like Nginx or Apache, alongside a compatible database such as MySQL or MariaDB. You will also need to configure persistent storage for user uploads and set up a reverse proxy for TLS termination.
