EZ Realty
 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, April 30, 2008
3 of 4 people find this review helpful:

EZ Realty I've had plenty of time to use this component and this is my thoughts:

pros:
- easy to install
- load of features
- tweakable: but only basic stuff, and only if you know about programming and html
- nice customer support (but with catch)

cons:
- expensive
- encrypted core code
- not polished and slightly buggy: Even with claimed multilingual functionality, some main parts remain untranslated.
- no subcategories
- slow development: programming and user support is done by one person.
- need to pay for support after 1st month of purchase,
- need to pay for their forum access, even if some already reported bugs aren't resolved under one month. It is OK to charge for user support, but only if support is needed. Charging access to already answered stuff is greedy.
- image manipulation could be better: lacks image ordering system

In the beginning, EZ Realty looked like excellent stuff.
1st core got encrypted, than it's price went up. Then owner removed user support forum. Wtf? Than forums went back. BUT only if you paying 30$ monthly subscription fee. Yes, they stated that is support fee, but IMO it is ridiculous to charge forum access to customers who spent their time to fill those forums with their suggestions and advices to other customers. We cant see if current bugs are resolved unless we don't pay monthly fee.
With core files encrypted we cant repair some bugs or extend basic functionality such as adding extra images per property, for example.

EZR could be excellent product if programmer ever decide to hire help, to leave code unencrypted and to leave forum access free.
