I have been using the Quote generator with different categories, and even though I must say it takes a bit of time to setup, results were excellent and the ability to force the visitor to fill-up in details for him to get the quote is excellent. Great lead generator. Version for J2.5 process looks musch simpler and comprehensive with regards to advanced fields. I have generated hundreds of qualified leads so far. Will keep on using it as long as support follows. Great job guys (not sure why others had difficulties there as long as one is patient...)
I’m really disappointed in this module. No fixes since 2010, shame that its even on this site. It’s got potential but its not finished.
Only listView, no radiobutton or selectionbuttons. Also the customer cant even see the actual price of his/her selection until sending mail. Hope profinvent will finish this module soon. Even the free Module “Cost Calculator” gives you more functionality then this.

The component could be a handy solution for companies or individuals who do not want to show the prices to the public or to competitors and want to keep the customers contact details. This component is all you need if you just want to show a product's price range based on the customer's preferences. To avoid any dissapointments please try the demo before purchasing.
The quote details could be displayed on the screen or sent by email.
Nice module. However, would really like to see quotes that are viewable online real-time and not just by email.
Unfortunately, I am really disappointed in the component.
I took a chance by paying for it after going through their online demo of the component which seemed to be missing some functionality but only because viewers can edit the content. But no, what you see online is in fact what you get!
The component is really just a multi level form with behind the scene calculations. Your prospective clients can’t even see the quote dynamically as they are building it? Only you see it when they are done filling out the form and send it. Note that I couldn’t even get that far without turning off my RsSEO URL rewriting cause they only support Joomla SEF ... This should be flagged as a technical requirement from the start!
To add to this, you can’t add a “quantity” field to the calculations. So if you offer a product in which a prospect can buy many, you can only ask them how many they want in ranges through their only available control type which is the “dropdown list”!
I hope to see some significant improvements in the short term caus I will admit that this general idea is good.

As a brand new component... I think that it was brought to market at the right point in it's development.
As the demo will show, it can do! There are no bugs that I have encountered. The features of the product are said to be added to over time (and are included in Free Upgrades to my knowledge)
Purchased the software quickly and hassle free. Paid via Paypal.
It is just what I needed for our companies new website.
Thanks to the Developers. Looking forward to seeing more features added over time.
