Abuse Manager Pro

Abuse Manager Pro

Developed By layerLabs

Compatible with WHMCS v8.11

Abuse Manager Pro (AMP) is a WHMCS addon (longest standing with regular updates & improvements since 2016!) that helps admins with the daily chores of abuse reports, and followups and turns their lives into a walk in the park for a low monthly fee of $5 or $50 per year, including upgrades for life!

This is THE module that you wish you knew about earlier! We really mean it!

Although many people use support tickets, that method requires a lot of work and many different strategies that results in defining an inefficient process for admins - that method can never be relied on. With AMP, everything is within the module, and there is no need to use multiple pages, external applications, or even other 3rd party solutions to manage or create abuse reports.

The system allows you to receive abuse reports from 3rd parties, either by emails (using a fetching technique by PHP_IMAP - great for automatically processing your abuse@domain.com address for example) or by enabling a public facing abuse reporting page. As well as that, you can create abuse reports of your own.

When an abuse report is submitted by 3rd parties (public facing page or via the email address that is to be fetched), it goes into a queue and awaits your moderation. This allows you to review the abuse report, and when you are satisfied, you can assign it to a customer. Queued abuse reports also show you which customer and service the abuse report could be linked to, depending on the available data in the report.

Admins can have conversations with clients, and vice versa - all in favour of reaching a solution and ultimately closing/resolving the abuse report.

Admins have the ability of creating an abuse report without suspending the service that relates to the abuse report, or suspend it immediately, or suspend it after a certain time limit passes. They also have the option to allow a customer to unsuspend themselves if required. To understand the module better, please have a look at the screenshots, as well as the different feature sets for admins, registered users, and public guests.

Proud to be one of the longest standing WHMCS modules in this field. Started 7 years ago, with over 200 client requests/enhancements added into our releases.

AMP is ajax-ready, and no template modifications are required at all! Lagom Theme Support (BETA)!

This module completely streamlines our abuse management. We had some issues when first trying to use the module so we reached out to the module support team.
The support team created the features we needed in real time, were incredibly responsive, and within a reasonable amount of time created a new version of the module that included all the features and fixes we requested.
I highly recommend this module and Layer Labs in general!

Fantastic customer support. We made a lot of suggestions to help speed up the time it takes for us to process abuse reports (we deal with 100+ daily), and all of them were implemented very quickly. Time is money and for $20, this is by far the best module on the market for hosts using WHMCS to make management of abuse quick and easy. Highly recommended!

Arnav @arnav1167

Very, very impressed with the module at this price. Most of the bad reviews are because the module is very tough to configure - and that's because of WHMCS. There are a lot of setups involved such as email piping, SSL, cron, and other requirements that would easily get missed.

Once all of those get taken care of, the module works seamlessly. I'd suggest anyone looking for an abuse app take a gamble and try this one out - if you have trouble configuring it like we did, Rashed & team will be more than happy to help you configure it!

It's a $20 application for goodness sake - if you put a little time into setting it up, you will be rewarded with a great app.
