The Component is practically useless for any serious website activity, if you want to use it professionally. However, if you have a hobby site, you may not worry as it will do the job without worrying about any liability. A professional use requires that others could insert a link as well as modify it without a lot of problems and confusion. I cannot confirm this.
1) They just promise that it will be done, but never implemented.
2) The categories structuring and loading did not function properly i.e. is messy and complicated for a member who may want to pay.
3) Import from gossamer Links did not function properly. The custom fields from gossamer did not get imported.
4) The template provided is difficult to customise. To make anathor template and assure that it will work with the system of moset has proved for me to be a nightmare. The provided template gives an impression that it will work. But not if you want to customise it a bit.
5) I could not get it worked with a few other extensions as described here by other users.
I am very disappointed with the software.

This extension is absolutely great for the purpose. All that is missing is the possibility to define different types, each with their own defined custom fields and templates, and this extension would be a must have extension for any Joomla site.
And the support is absolutely amazing, any request is replied in a few hours or less.

All I can say that this is one of the best script you can find out there. It is very easy to use and configure. The support is top notch. Templating is also very easy! All I can say is this is the best value of all components out there! You really get what you pay for and more!
I have moset tree for 2 years on my site. I am generally happy with it as I am not able to find a better substitute.
I am disappointed as I am not able to do the following in the admin area easily;
1. Not able to add customise listing columns under navigation, ( i could not see the column I want to see under navigation)
2. Not able to sort on "Published" under navigation. ( sort is only available on core fields. With a large listing I find it tedious to search or find a listing to update, as listing could not be grouped under "published")

This is a very good extension. Installation is easy and if you understand Joomla then using the mods is even easier - and with imagination you can manipulate them even more.
Help/support is excellent and accurate.
I have installed it on two sites (catdog.com.au & find-a-limo.com.au) and will probably purchase another for a new site coming up.
The latest version has some very good additions and improvements over previous versions - well worth it.

I am a very satisfied user of this leading real-estate component for many years. I have installed it on our new 1.5 driven website and had a problem in the backend. The developer Lee was more then very helpful and fixed it very fast.
I can highly recommend this component AND the developer if your looking for a professional catalogue application like Hot Property.

I must admit that i would prefer mosets tree above sobi but it has one big problem,and thats handling large indexes.
I tried it with almost 59000 links in one category and that wil drop your mosets admin area.
It takes upto 30 seconds to even show the admin page and the frontend is just as bad.
the links added have title,a few lines description and weblink,thats it.
On a test i did while going to my mosets admin page this is what my server showed:
Server Load 1.91 (4 cpus) (before request)
Server Load 5.16 (4 cpus) (during request)
Its also to bad it takes so long to release a native version.
However,its good for smaller sites.

We have quite a number of users running large directories without the said performance issue. 30 seconds to load a page is not normal. If you can get in touch with me at http://www.mosets.com/contact/, I'll see to it to get this resolved.
I'll be honest, I thought this component was overpriced when I looked at it initially, however it reflects the level of functionality and flexibility that you get with it.
I've just completed a site for a trade association that wanted to have a directory of its members. Mosets tree gave me the flexibility to tweak it to their exact requirements, almost completely without having to hack code.
Furthermore, the support I had was excellent. I had the nightmare of exporting data from a legacy Access database, but the built in importing facility made life quite easy. When I did hit problems the Moset support team got answers to me usually within 24 hours.
(I also have another site that's been running with Mosets Hot Property for a few years without problems).
Cannot recommend this highly enough.

I have used this extension for creating a resource library section. Very easy to install and extensible. I had to do some minor (customer-requested) template changes which require some hacking and reading on the Mosets forums, but the code is very clean and the change was very easy to do. Will be using it on my future projects.
I recently finished a site for a client that is centered around a directory for parents in the Boulder, CO area. Mosets is the star of the site and provides the main functionality for the users.
I highly recommend Mosets Tree. The code is well written, and Lee, the creator, gives excellent, timely support in his forums (he even has private, one-on-one forums.)
Great software. Easy to install and configure. Great support.
