If you're looking for a basic non-commercial CRM that's easy to work with, I'd pass this one-up.

I'm an experienced Joomla/PHP programmer. I installed the non-commercial version with on problems. Basic functionality is easy to grasp. Views are pretty non-functional. For example, list of contacts displays based on order of entry instead of alphabetically (so, easy fix by adding an ORDER BY statement to the MySQL query) but then the list of contacts also doesn't display first names, which pretty much renders the contact list useless.

Yes, you could go into the MySQL and the view to change all of this, but after a while it's just a bit too much. Owner's probably did this to upsell to commercial version, which I did not buy.

If you're looking for a CRM that provides basic features out of the box--keep looking.

I'm a jaded Joomla developer having slogged through finding errors even in popular Joomla extensions. I have to say I was really impressed with SWmenu. Everything about this extension says, "professional," and I hope that other Joomla extension developers copy such a professional, well-thought out component. Way to go SWmenu! You guys rock!
