JUGA - Joomla User Group Access
Configuration is much too complicated to set up a time-pressing project. Requires configuration of each article's item ID to be suppressed for specified users, therefore unusable for rich content sites in my opinion. Though it hacks J15's menu structure I'd highly recommend Community ACL - simple and time saving installation and configuration, does its job perfectly easy and convenient.

JUGA doesn't hack the J1.5 menu structure. We provide a separate module (called mod_mainmenujuga) that you can use to display your menus should you choose, and to create the menu you use the same admin-side Menu Manager that you would for mod_mainmenu.

Configuration can be very quick -- assuming you follow the manual...

noixACL 2.0 - Frontend and Backend ACL
Developers are highly encouraged and support seems to be fine. Nevertheless, noixACL simply didn't meet my expectations, simply lacks basic features. Being aware of the fact that ACL under J15 has to be a workaround and not a "clean" solution I must say that there are better solutions available. I experimented a lot with various ACL extensions as well as noixACL and JUGA and finally stuck to Community ACL. If you have a time-pressing project running, don't waste your time - go ahead, spend some money and get Community ACL. (btw, the name is misleading - it simply supports CB in addition, it's designed to work as a standalone solution).

I see Comunity ACL before i start development from noixACL component. This component is really complete but for some users is confuse to grant/manage permissions(lot of steps). New version of noixACL is better to developing new Adapters to take control of your joomla! the new system help users to search and updates your adapters. The idea is you can control only with you wish. the users knows can chose what the best solution independent of the solution is payed or not.
