Written and maintained by the same developer as Akeeba Backup and the Joomla! updater component of Joomla! 2.5.4 and later.
Note: a commercial edition (Admin Tools Professional) with extra security-oriented features is also available from our site for a fee. This listing is about the free version, Admin Tools Core.
Note 2: The software is free of charge, its support is not. You need a valid subscription (starting at EUR 7.79) to request support. However, its documentation, the troubleshooting wizard and searching the forum is free.
This is the easiest admin tool I have tried. I am new to joomla and not a web developer and so I felt I needed a little help to make things easier. I did try a couple other ones, which were also good, but this one does what I needed 3 other extensions to do.
Thank you very much I definitely will check out other software from this developer as it is easy to use easy to configure and just works.
highly recommended. I would be happy to pay for this software.

I often have trouble with the file and folder permissions on my Joomla site, as my shared hosting provider tends to have some odd permissions sometimes when installing... so it often leads to errors on my Joomla site. I downloaded Admin Tools to fix this very problem, and it does a fantastic job of correcting the permissions.
Now, that's all I was expecting. But then I noticed Admin Tools also reported my Joomla version was out of date. Cool; I try to stay on top of it, but it's a pain in the rump to have to manually overwrite files by FTP. So I clicked the update button in Admin Tools, and to my surprise it automatically grabbed the patch file for Joomla, extracted it and installed it on my installation. I am now using the latest version of Joomla in only a few mouse clicks.
I was also shocked to find there are some great security enhancements added to Joomla by way of Admin Tools. Things like improved security using htaccess for the Administrator area. I mean, it's all "simple stuff", but putting it all in one place and making it so I don't have to do it manually... THAT is fantastic.
Across my multiple sites, this tool is going to save me a great deal of time, and will also help me effectively manage my Joomla version. FABULOUS.
Thank you so much for making this tool free. While I probably wouldn't have bought it if it were a commercial app, now that I've tried it I am going to have to track down a way to donate as a small thank you for what you've provided.
Great work! Keep the features coming! :)

I have found this to be an excellent tool - a must have! I just updated 15 Joomla sites from 1.5.21 to 1.5.22 in 40 minutes - and that included updating the admin tool itself.
Another excellent component from the AkeebaBackup team! This extension will save you a lot of time and effort and is a must-have for any Joomla installation! Highly recommended...
Akeeba Backup and Admin Tools make quite a fantastic pair. These are incredibly valuable tools. Nicholas raises the bar, I think, for application development, security, documentation, and support. He's pretty fantastically generous toward the Joomla! community, too; a great supporter of open source.
I've been using Akeeba since it was called Joompack. Why didn't I install this before now!!?? Super easy Joomla update, file/directory permission changes, extra security, and more. This is as must-have as Akeeba itself!
GET IT NOW!

Once again Nick has created a very useful and user friendly extension for Joomla.
He dedication to his projects is above and beyond a lot of developers. I will continue to use his products with great certainty that my sites are running smoothly with his extensions.
Great work Nick!

I have used this tool over a month now and I must say this is so great. It does what the tool suppose to do. Great job and most important it is Free so how can anyone go wrong with this :) Thank you so much, keep up the wonderful work you do.
This component, and this developer are some of the best the Joomla! community have to offer! This component works wonders, and the best part is that the developer keeps improving it! Very good support and great work on the product. I've installed this on every one of my Joomla! sites, along with the Akeeba Back up System to keep my sites up to date, online and secure. Thanks Nicholas!
After using it I quickly realized Admin Tools is one of those extensions on the short list of extensions to be installed on all my clients Joomla sites no matter what application the site is for.
It is a huge time saver to upgrade your Joomla site with one click, when you have Akeeba Backup installed it makes backup then upgrade as easy as pie.
Other tools like database repair and optimization from within the Joomla Admin & fixing file permissions with one click are awesome!
The Pro version has some security tools that are well worth the money, a small price to pay for the added protection ans peace of mind they provide.
