We took our time and listened to your requests as to what an integrated event manager should do. We learned a lot from our RSEvents! experience and we decided that we can do better.
RSEvents!Pro was built to be as easy and intuitive as possible, yet having all the features that you may need when managing events on your Joomla! 3.0, 2.5, or 1.5 website. The endless features and integrations list is the confirmation that you needed in order to decide in favor of our extension.
RSEvents!Pro is Joomla! 3.0, 2.5 and 1.5 native.
I have worked with many calendars and I have to say this is my favorite to date. (:D) It's extremely flexible, with many views and ways to customize views. Styling was a breeze- important to a designer!
To make an event recurring the system creates multiple instances of the event- rather than simply repeating itself- which then can be selectively deleted which is great if you have performances that run Mon-Sat for three weeks.
Lastly, a rave to the developers who were enormously prompt and helpful when I wanted to customize a couple of things.

Works like a charm!
Had a problem with installing the language, but the support was fast, good and solved the issue.
Wish all support was like this.

The latest upgrade on this product has added some really nice features. It is much easier to select the fields you want to display and a much better template designs.
I use this component and is great, I found a little problem but the team is very fast to solve.
The support is really amazing!!!

Having reviewed all event management systems for Joomla, RSEvents! stood out for its ease of use, configuration options and flexibility. We rarely write reviews but the outstanding support compelled me to do so. We requested a new feature and RSEvents! added it within 24 hours. Brilliant!!
Got an issue with the calendar tooltip. This was solved within one day, thanks to the fast and efficient support. Being french, I pointed out some lack in the french language file that was easy to fix by myself.
I think it's a great component and I like the ability to customize nearly everything.
So I highly recommend it.

Go for RSEvents, it'll be worth it. Support is extremely helpful, the component is a breeze to install and use, it gives you plenty of flexibility and the only thing i'd wish for is more designs from which to choose from. Otherwise A++!
We have deployed this extension for the website of our outdoor recreation club to promote multiple activities each week for the last 12 months - and we have been impressed with the features it offers. Club members and the public can view, explore and interact with events - leaders can generate new activities and administrators are auto notified for moderation. Support from the RSJoomla team has been excellent and best of all you can suggest features you would like to see in future versions.
I have been using RSEvents and RSSeo Suite on my website for a couple of months now and I am very pleased with how they perform. RSEvents is very complex and I was happy to find out that all of my begginer questions were already answered in the user guide. Support is very responsive even though they are located all across the ocean, in Europe. All in all I would definitely recommend this (both actually).
RSTeam is wonderful and all the other components of them are very good and the support is excellent (I'm using almost all of them). I adore RSTickets, RSForms and, of course, RSFirewall.
First I want to tell about the good points:
1. Custom calendar (you don't need to use other calendar extension to create the events). The look of the calendar is good!
2. A LOT of ways of publishing (calendar look, category view, specific event view, "from-to" event and a lot of others).
3. Nice backend interface. Good usability and the look.
4. Paypal Payment gate (works perfectly).
5. Ability to insert event pictures (maybe you don't believe, but in some "free" calendars you have to pay for this feature...shame on them!) and have them in the module too!
6. Custom Emails
Now about the weak points.
First problem is there's no customs fields feature (sorry, it's written that we shouldn't request for features here, but I think that nowadays this feature lack is a big disadvantage of any extension of such kind).
They have RSForms integration, but if you insert that RSForm in the article using content plugin it doesn't work properly. And you can't select the custom fields for that forms, only specified RSEvent fields..so the integration is almost useless.
RSEvent upcoming module has a good idea of giving you the freedom to insert necessary fields of event, using placeholders. Unfortunately for those who can't use css and html tags this feature is useless, because the layout of the module should be inserted in html. This is good as the additional feature however.
Well, one more problem about the module is - the number of placeholders are very limited even for the small number of fields they have (for example the event {price} placeholder are absent, either the number of {tickets left}...assuming they have the {join the event} placeholder I would suppose that the customer want to know if the link should be clicked at all).
Personal cabinet.
No possibility to see the status of offline payment. Only the online payment status (payed, pending...)
Custom emails placeholders lack!
Although you can customize the Emails, the placeholders number are VERY limited. They promise to add some more, but unfortunately there's no action towards.
Templates are from the Stone Age.
Verdict.
You you sell baseball tickets and sell them online it's ok.
For the serious event registration project this component lacks a lot of functionality.
I bought it and don't regret, because it was my start extension I've learned from, but unfortunately I have to stop using it and wait for the following development.

This app is wonderful from the perspective of back end configuration presentation and installation. Features are fantastic. Templates are junk... even the ones that you can download as extra from their site are unusable/inappropriate for professional applications. Also Nota bene that if you're getting this for integration with Jomsocial... Jevents offers a lot more in that regard. After purchasing RSEvents, I had to discard it and hope to use it on a future website and move to another package. Again -- the programming and power of the app is great but the presentation is deal breaker. Possible that a CSS guru could doctor it up to look good but for the price, I expected to be able to turnkey. For half the money, this would be a fair deal.
I had to ask for a refund because there was a misunderstanding about certain functionality in the component, the service I got was excellent and quick.
The component would be awesome if you could add custom forms/fields when adding events and if you could disable the registering for events. Some people just want to show the events and not allow people to register for them.
So for me it's 5 stars for service and 3 stars for the component.

RSEvents has helped our company big time to get what we needed to do, the right way. What was important to use was to get a component that worked and that supplied excellent features: this one does! Also, we are satisfied with the customer service and technical support. It could be a bit faster, but it deserves at least 4 stars! In overall we are satisfied and would recommend it to our clients. Heck, we already do!
This is very simple and userfriendly
