The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This extension helps me very much in protecting websites for 3 months already. There is a detailed documentation in English. The support is quick and excellent too (I had 2 questions and got answers during several hours). The websites, that I support, are on different Joomla versions (1.5, 2.5). There is still a possibility to download AdminTools for Joomla 1.5 and that is very helpful. During the time of use I had more, than ten attacks at my websites and they are still OK (touch wood).

First of all I must say it's highly worth the money.
My website is under constant attack and so far I could just cross my fingers and hope for the best.
With admin tools I'm stress free.
I can see where it comes from, block the country, the ip range or the ip.
I also had to deal with the support 2 or 3 times and they were very professional : very fast and they could help.
At first you might be surprised by the amount of options you have.
But it's not a problem as the documentation is one of the most complete I have ever read.
I am one of the most demanding person and I'm very satisfied with this extension.

Nicholas! Thank you for this component and Akeeba Backup as well. You are so good at what you do - I love your work. Thanks for helping me help my clients and for making Joomla look so good. If I could give this 100 stars I would. Anyone wondering if they should invest in this? Don't waffle... just do it - you won't regret it.

Either you hate it or love it but you certainly can't afford to loose it. This component is my life savior, Six of my clients' Websites were cruelly hacked beyond repair and the suffering was unbearable until i found this. My life is so much peaceful having this component installed on all my sites. The double layer protection makes it hard for hackers and spammers to take control of your site.

You just can't afford not to use it. Besides being a reasonably priced component and allowed for multi installation, this one is simply the best of the rest. Highly recommended.

I stumbled on Admin Tools one fine day, and it was the best "stumble" i ever had! Its the most PERFECT, EXCELLENT, SIMPLY FANTASTIC tool for a joomla site! I got hacked before Admin Tools, and that was the trigger in finding it. Am i GLAD i did! Please do yourself a favour and invest in Admin Tools, you won't regret it.

And the support is simple fabulous. Nicholas does not take support questions lightly. He's persistent with a support request and endevours to solve your problems.

I'm extremely happy with Admin Tools. Now i'm trying out Akeeba Backup Pro. So far....its Fantastic!! Duh!

This is an amazing extension, please do yourself a favor and use it on your site. Highly tweakable and really powerful.

Excellent!

I want to thank Nicholas K. Dionysopoulos for this EXCELLENT extension, for EXCELLENT documentation and for EXCELLENT support!

I recommend everyone to use this extension.

I love this software. It took me many hours to get through the documentation which to me is a HUGE plus! It is so nice to find well documented software. This software has a LOT of features and a lot of options. With features and options comes complexity but Admin Tools is doing a GREAT job of simplifying the complexity. I will never again run a Joomla site without this software.

There were other choices for site security. But after having a great experience with Akeeba Backup and Akeeba subscriptions I decided to use Akeeba Admin Tools. After installing it on a Saturday morning I had a problem, which turned out to be a silly login/logout thing. But I filled out a ticket and Nickolas got back to me within about 2 minutes. The quality of this company's extensions and the level of service are higher than I have ever experienced before, and I have bought many extensions and submitted many tickets/posts. Akeeba sets the standard by which all other extension developers should judge themselves by.

Highly recommend this comprehensive set of effective tools and learning how to properly use them. Right out of the box with a few easy tweaks if you follow the directions, you will build your Fort Knox. I am very impressed with all the logical features which are missing from other so called solutions. I can now sleep at night as was getting attacked 24/7 on my 125+ websites. It scares me to think of how vulnerable I was before. It took me getting hacked and having my hard work wrecked by malicious bad people to wake up and secure my intellectual property. Buy it now before it is too late!

Admin Tools Pro is very powerful security extension for Joomla site. At the beginning of my history with web development I did not think much about protection of site. It has changed when I attended to Nicholas presentation of this great product on Joomla Day. I can really recommend this for everyone.

What to say that wasn't already said...
Perfect... Effective... Essential... Excellent Support...
Among the first 5 extensions to be installed before starting any new project (with Akeeba Backup of course...)

This protects the site effectively, the .htaccess generator is quite easy to work, and even the naughty plugins or components that need to 'directly execute' a file can be taken care of, it just requires a small amount of detective work, and a lot thoroughness.
It also holds all the functionality of a lot of the small plugins that are free, but here it's put together in one package, which makes maintenance a lot easier.

Just bought AT Pro and had it set up and running in no time thanks to the excellent documentation. If other developers spent as much time on their documentation, they would spend a lot less time answering stupid questions! This is a true Swiss Army Knife toolbox, and a must have for every Joomla! website! Just buy it, people!

Very powerful and easy to use component for securing your site.

Runs straight out-of-the-box at a default level and is easy to cusomise the settings.

Very helpful support team!

Thumbs Up! Excellent support/help!
Excellent product!

Excellent, must have extension.
Since I installed it, I cought and prevented several attacks on my website.
I never thought before that there are so many bad IPs whant to harm my website, now I have automated protection and detailed insights in every security exceptions that occurs on my website.
If you have access to your raw log file on your web server, than you can track all bad activities.
It became fun, tracking and blocking of bad IP-s, and report them to projecthoneypot to help others.
Every recommendations from me and my team.

especially if you want to care for the content of your site and not for technical matters. It shows and solves many problems. It works perfect with p8pbb-bridge. Thanks for this great tool! I also use akeeba backup, because it does a very good work too!

I've been using Admin Tools Pro for over a year and has always been very satisfied with it. It does what is advertise. It's updated frequently with bug fix and improvements which is reassuring as a client. I know the developers are maintaining this extension (and their others BTW) very well, seriously and consciously.

It is also an added value to the service i provide to my clients. Making them also happy to know additional security is added to their websites.

I started with the free version, but was so happy, that it took me only 2 seconds to think whether i should get the pro version or not.

I've never been disappointed. The support is excellent and fast. And i never had some stupid answers you can get by other paid extension support because they don't read your question or other answer properly or stupid/irrelevant answers to buy time. With the Akeeba team i get a working answer all the time.

85 euros for Admin Tool Pro and Akeeba Backup Pro plus high priority and private ticket support; is nothing. If you think about it. For any web developer (newbie or agencies) that cost is absorbed by only one (yes 1) contract. But you get to install these Pro extension on as many sites as you want.

All in all, i strongly recommend this extensions and their other ones. For me they became part of my default install with JCE when i start a joomla website.

That to use it for:
- to generate the .htaccess that optimizes and secures the operation of a site without writing virtually any line of code.
- To combine the .js and .css and today I just beat all records of page load time with with less than 20 requests in 5 - 10 seconds measured by Firebug and a score of 90-95 which is A in YSlow.
- To clean the sessions, repair the database, create a password for the administrator directory... and many other things. Admin Tools performs these tasks that before were simply tedious and time required a lot of research and several components and plugins to use.

Note: Up until now on the same test site with different competitor components and plugins I had trouble getting better than 40 requests, 12 seconds of load time and a score of 80 in YSlow. (I have a low level ADSL 512 Kb to 1 Mb)

I would have not gotten these speed scores of my site without quality Akeeba documentation and the advice which Nicholas gives for Admin Tools Pro and other products that I use (Akeeba Subscriptions, Akeeba Release System and Akeeba Backup).

The forms of technical support are very profitable for a webmaster like me who developed his own websites with the great Joomla CMS without being a pro PHP programmer.

5 stars or more, at least!

Akeeba more products are already available for Joomla 3.0

Nicholas, good luck for this excellent work.
