Which one do you prefer? Do you wish that your host had all three?

I prefer Softaculous right now. It has the ability to WHMCS and over 130 different scripts including Video Software.

It seems that softaculous is becoming the most popular pre-installed script software today - we receive lots of pre-sales requests asking about it

Agreed. We recently implemented Softaculous due to all the requests we've had for it. Seems it has become a pretty popular choice for auto install.

Never (Actually no need all of these).

I've never used Installatron. Softaculous seems very nice, but so far I've been sticking to Fantastico, because it is familiar.

No. That would mean the host is less "professional". There is absolutely no need to have all three of them.

I have Softaculous installed on my server.

We are currently using fantastico but really like the features of softaculous. The pricing is amazing too

Well, I am pretty familiar with Fantastico. Not used Softaculous yet but interested with its features about list of installation of double scripts and additional some more.

I use Fantastico exclusively with MyHosting web hosting package.

It is just easier to use and they offer more installations for a more diverse array of programs.

I personally prefer Installatron and Softaculous. Installatron has a nicer GUI, but Softaculous has less steps in the installaton process.

i prefer softaculous ... but provide all three

fantisco is famous. softaculous is great for starters. and installtron is good for people who know what they are doing. like back ups upgrades and other stuff.

Softaculous was quite interesting, epically when it was free.

Installatron was also quite interesting, it really depends on personal choice. They all really do what they advertise, and most of the time your just judging the user interface.
