HollaEx Pros and Cons

We've been often helping clients set up their own exchanges using HollaEx, and it's always been a breeze. Fast, efficient, and pretty much plug-and-play. Only takes us a few hours and a bit of back and forth with our clients to get things up and running, while if you were to do it from scratch... it'd take months and significantly more capital, making it unaffordable to any start-up that hasn't had a round just yet.

Support is always top notch, not that it's needed often. Hearing of new features inbound too, so excited for what's next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few weeks back I'd have wanted to see more pairs trading pairs listed on the main exchange, but tons have been added lately, so super excited about that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HollaEx Kit is so far the easiest Exchange-As-A-Service (If that’s a word) software I’ve ever tried. It was super straightforward to sign up and launch it out on my Amazon Virtual Machine. It provides a nice command line program that doesn’t require you to be a rocket scientist.. all I needed to do was type a few commands by following the docs and that was it. Now I have my own fully functional exchange without a line of coding. Which is epic ngl. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I’m not the most tech-savvy person, dealing with something like an email setup (SMTP) was pretty complicated. It is an essential part of the exchange functionality so I didn’t have any other choice but just bumping my head into it (users should get the emails to verify their account on sign up). I was able to figure out how it works so everything is good now, but I wish there was an easier way to make it work. I heard that their cloud-hosted version of HollaEx Kit has some sort of built-in email feature, so that might be a solution for those ones who really don’t want to suffer from the headache.

As founder of a trading strategy automation software, I highly appreciate the user-friendly HollaEx API that is compatible with most crypto-exchange libraries. Additionally, the constant availability and support from the HollaEx team during our interactions is a real game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not exactly a proper dislike but more of a feature that I think is missing. I would like to be able to trade future contracts on HollaEx. A significant number of our clients trade futures and the ability to perform such trades on HollaEx-powered exchanges would be a substential improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HollaEx has most of the features that you'd expect to see in a crypto exchange, from the order book to crypto wallets that support a lot of the main cryptocurrencies.

The security is also quite reassuring for buying and selling because it has 2FA using Google Authenticator with a second layer of additional security on top as the software will "email you" for confirmation with a passcode for doing a buy or sell order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software does not have margin or futures trading, which would be helpful features to have because most exchanges are in high demand for margin trading.

It has basic UI customization options, but to make any additional changes requires a pretty skilled developer, as any code changes made directly impacts the user-interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of access for non-tech. savy users. Hollaex provides a user-friendly dashboard with a modern design, making it relatively intuitive for non-tech users to navigate and use.

Additionally, at the same time, the platform allows for branding and customization, making it possible for the users to build thier exchange as per their liking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would love to have more trading options other than spot trading in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HollaEx allows you to be up and running with a crypto exchange in as quick a week.

I like the fact that you have an option to host the exchange yourself (the DIY ) option, or go for the cloud option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding coins require a fee each time. WHile i understand that thats one way to create value for the token holders, if you are planning to add a 100 coins for example, the cost adds up very fast

Lack of P2P option (They are already working on it , but we dont have an ETA yet) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to run, you can (but for security reasons, you don't) run in 'potato pc' with just some clicks. Of course in the real world, for real customers you will have to use a professional hosting platform but the fact to be 'simple and easy, no BS' makes a huge difference when selecting which tool will be used in my project.

The same fact I said 'good words' now will become bad words. The fact to be easy to run and manage also create a problem in creating plugins for the product with our own requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HollaEx was free, open source software. It meant I was able to spin up a docker container and try it. It worked like a charm. Now I've committed to a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The config wizard makes getting started in easy but hides some of the more complex stuff. Thankfully, things can be changed later and docs are easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Helped to explore the crypto platform and also offered us a white label solution which made us rebrand ourselves and launch this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the fee was very high and made us think twice as there were other players in the market who provided the same solution at a much cheaper rate. The docs also could be improved and made easy to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UX for me has been the best feature till now, very simple and interactive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the website freezes when trying to setup things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
