We have installed this on a clients website and were initially impressed by it. Everyone know that user groups is not a joomla strong point and it seems to fit the bill. There are some issues we found.
1. Hiding/Showing menu links does not always work well depending on your template menu system. (e.g. if you are using/modifying templates from joomlart or yootheme, you may find things not as straightforward as juga suggest.
2. Search - we found that you could hide/show content easily enough based on user groups, but that content can still be found if you search for it. Which kind of defeats the purpose.
3. Links to Sections/Categories - If you are displaying a list of links e.g with a section list those articles that you have set to be hidden will still show.
4. It is recommended that you only 'synchronize' your content with JUGA when you first install, but we found that site items did not always show up.
Overall we like this component and feel the developers have done a good job and addressing something that we will all find useful.
We are sticking with it and will use it again. We recommend it.

We have used this for a client and had some modifications done by the developers and it is working well. Client is happy.
Some minor issues though. You can't add meta info for jobs, so if you are indexing your pages for SEO, and want to create
separate page titles for each job page, then it is not part of the component. Hopefully this will be part of the next release. We found the support from the developer good and the forum useful. We are going to use it on another site and would recommend it.

I really like this component, it is a feature that I am asked for a lot. How do I search in the admin area? Filter is great but adding search is much better. The component does exactly what it says is does and installed quickly, easily and works.
However, It only searches menu, article, section, category and modules. So if you have a component that you are adding content too (e.g. Jobline) then it will not search that.
It is good for simpler sites, but not for the more complex.

After looking at various gallery components - read the reviews on this and tried it out.
Installed OK, but photos do not upload even although the messages say they have. Obviously settings have to be changed somewhere.
Tried forums, tried manual, offered to pay for component.
developer cannot be contacted so you are high and dry. You can't buy a licence or support even though website says you can.
Pity. It looked promising
