EasyBlog - Best Investment for Joomla

nauseous (4).
Posted on 09 February 2016

Functionality

EasyBlog functionality is by far the best I've ever seen in Joomla extensions

Ease of use

Stackideas products are easy, lots of help documentation, extras. Best product I've used for Joomla

Support

Support in beyond. I would rate Stackideas 10+++

Documentation

Documentation is updated, detailed, tutorials, extras. Nothing I've seen is better. A++++

Value for money

EasyBlog is by far the best I've ever used. A must have! Value - Nothing better out there.

I used this to: Blogs for detailed information. Home page is my EasyBlog. Thanks Stackideas!

Owner's reply: Hi Nauseous,

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad that you're loving our products! :D

The most evolved blog-component

Yannick Raval (4).
Posted on 24 November 2015

Functionality

Tone and tone of features... More than you can imagine yourself ! If you are looking for the best blog-quality, this one is for you !

Ease of use

Very intuitive and easy to use, everybody understand how it work in three seconds. The new composer is the best I saw in my life !

Support

2 important points: the team is very fast and solve everytime your problems or answer your question.

Documentation

As usual, everything you need is online and will give you all informations you want to access...

Value for money

EasyBlog the best component on the market but a low price....

I used this to: For my music site, that allow my community-members to write their own blog / space

Owner's reply: Hi Yann,

Thank you for your continuous support and we really appreciated it! ;)

EasyBlog For Life

John Coonen (4).
Posted on 27 October 2015

Functionality

I've said for years, EasyBlog blows WordPress out of the water. We need to support StackIdeas, and get more people blogging with Joomla!

Ease of use

Tons of capabilities, boiled down to a much simpler Admin Panel.

Support

To ALL extension developers for Joomla & WordPress: Make clients happy and STOP what you're doing now and copy what Stack does for support.

Documentation

In comparison to most other 3PD's they get 100, but this is one area where the format is there, most content is great, but more is needed.

Value for money

Great value. The support alone is worth 5x the price, and people need to wake the heck up and realize this!

I used this to: I've been running EasyBlog for over 5 years on CMS Connection blog for CMS pros worldwide. Enterprise CMSs wish they could have such an easy blog on their own sites, but they don't. Stack delivers a far superior blog than WordPress. Joomla community should jump on this and grow!

Owner's reply: Hi John,

Thank you for your continuous support and we really appreciated it. :) If there any missing section you would like to include in the documentation, do let us know as our documentations are constantly being updated to fit our users need.

Outstanding extension and exemplary service!

Mary (3).
Posted on 20 October 2015

Functionality

This is a robust and highly customizable blogging solution.

Ease of use

Once you get a general feel for this extension, it is very easy to use.

Support

Support is outstanding! Cant say enough good things about this company.

Documentation

Documentation is OK, but if you have any question at all, support is highly responsive.

Value for money

I think this extension is worth the cost.

Owner's reply: Hi Mary,

Thank you for your kind words.It is our pleasure to assist you with the issues you encountered. :)
If you have any suggestion how to make our documentation better, do let us know we are constantly updating it to fit our users need.

For Team Blogging

Eric Froehlich (2).
Posted on 19 October 2015

Functionality

Has a lot. Is a separate framework, Blog posts are not Joomla Articles. Linking to posts is achieved via separate menu field options.

Ease of use

Using EasyBlog editor/composer requires too many clicks, e.g. to achieve adding a 'Read More'. Blog posts have separate layout scheme

Support

Responsive and helpful. However unique separate component level functionality from Joomla framework creates challenges.

Documentation

Unable to replicate same multi-column blog landing page options (normally achieved via Joomla menu> Category Blog > Blog Layout

Value for money

Great for a Team blogging scenario. Very good social-media integration. Great image import options (provides multi-resolutions)

I used this to: Hoping to use it for a website I built for a semi computer illiterate person. Even with auto porting of old blog content most of EasyBlog's Editors(Composer's) functionality was unavailable for ported content. Unable to use alternate editor (JCE) on standard laptop screen.

Owner's reply: Hi Eric,

Thank you so much for your feedback. Our team will try their best to accommodate to your every need. Kindly note there are some circumstances whereby your requests could be outside our expertise or perhaps there are certain issues could be beyond our control. Thus escalating it to your dissatisfaction. We really do humbly apologize for that.

EB5 takes blogging to a new level

Richard Bowls (12).
Posted on 07 October 2015

Functionality

EasyBlog 5 is a very advanced, multi featured product that works very smoothly as a standalone item or integrated with other software

Ease of use

Everything works 'out of the box' and is easy to use with tooltips everywhere for individual or team blogs and a state of the art composer.

Support

Stackideas support is 24x7 and a customer's perfect dream - fast, creative, top quality, solving problems, and listening to feedback.

Documentation

The Online documentation could be better but the wealth of tooltips and detailed support forum answers mean I do not need it.

Value for money

It is excellent value for money, you get the best blogging product in the market with the best support for just over 20 cents per day.

I used this to: My community website on Joomla 3.4.4. I only use the latest versions of what I consider to be quality extensions and EasyBlog is definitely in that category, working in perfect harmony out of the box with the other products on my website.

Owner's reply: Hi Richard,

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad that you're loving our products. :)

Upgrade and have a lot of problems

abacmedia (24).
Posted on 05 October 2015

Functionality

Many options, although difficult to configure. The upgrade is a nightmare (css, languages, html...)

Ease of use

For the end user is easy but for the website builder is too complex

Documentation

difficult access

Value for money

not expensive, there is a lot of work done

I used this to: A simple blog

Stay Clear! Full of bugs

j-expert (23).
Posted on 04 October 2015

Functionality

For the latest version, the update has been a nightmare and thus functionality suffered greatly. Even after months of bug fixes release.

Ease of use

EB has much functionality but due to lack of documentation and bugs, it is not "easy to use"

Support

Part of support is providing documentation. At the time of the version 5 release, Virtually no documentation existed and support lags.

Value for money

a promising extension but because of all the issues and bugs experienced much time was wasted. We will likely cut our losses and remove it.

I used this to: Blogging on a paid membreship site

EasyBlog is great until you are try to upgrade

James Wilkinson (1).
Posted on 31 August 2015

Functionality

Great looking & working blogging extension for Joomla 3.x

Ease of use

Easy to use, organize, & post blog entries. But when upgrading from version 3.9.24 to 5.0.23, the installation would not go past 45%.

Support

Support is good as long as you give techsupport admin rights to phpmyadmin, ftp, & Joomla. I'd prefer not to & there was not enough diy info

Documentation

Documentation is fine for clean installs but the forum info on how to fix problems is poor. They need to explain how they fix a problem.

Value for money

Good but only if you are installing clean. I spent hours trying to get the upgrade installed. Reinstalled old ver then restored from backup.

I used this to: Technical and developmental blog listing changes to software I author or scientific data changes and updates.

Fantastic Blog-Software!

Pat (22).
Posted on 25 August 2015

Functionality

Lots of functions, I'm not missing any.

Ease of use

Powerfull backend. Writing/editing posts could be a bit more easy/clear (better not using lightbox, my opinion), but still is very OK.

Support

Very fast, competent and friendly.

Value for money

For sure worth the money.

I used this to: A website with integrated blog.
