Functionality
CjForum is awesome, simple and clean, and very functional. It integrates with the sociable activity stream seamlessly. It's perfect!
Ease of use
Super Simple! Love it! It's very intuitive and allows people to communicate with a bunch of features, badges, friends, etc.
Support
I am super impressed with response from support. I skipped a version updating, which caused an issue support found and corrected quickly.
Documentation
The documentation is very helpful. I found a few things, like syncing users, and connecting users, that pull all of the features together.
Value for money
Great value. I got the community package and it is awesome! It has a ton of capability and customization options.
I used this to: I am assembling a team of like-minded people to promote political solutions for the public.
Functionality
errors with community builder and returns constant 404s when navigating within the component.
Ease of use
No issues installing or navigation the component. Options screen is a bit bare bone.
Support
Issues I encountered were posted on their forums, but the developer's repose is always the same; I did a fresh install and it's fine.
Documentation
Standard wiki with a few articles, absolutely nothing in regards to their CB plugin.
Value for money
component is unusable as advertised, value is non existent. I expect a payed component to work out of the box.
I used this to: Needed a forum for a themed community/classified/forum website. The options are limited and decided to go for the payed component. Avoid this one!
Owner's reply: Thank you for posting your feedback. For the benefit of other users, I am posting the conversation that I had with you here.

1. You have never contacted us for any support either on forum or email, however, you assumed that the other people's questions were not answers and decided not to ask. However, I proactively contacted you for any assistance but you refused by saying it is not required.
2. You mentioned that the developer response is always the same on this review and came to know from your reply that it is an assumption based on forum posts. All forum posts are publicly available and anyone can read them and conclude if it is true or false.
3. You mentioned the documentation is not adequate for community builder plugin. However, the plugin does nothing but just show a list of topics on CB profile (documentation on installing and managing plugins is CB related and is available on CB site). If you could let me know what type of documentation you need, I am glad to write it.
4. You mentioned CB plugin produces 404 errors, however, you did not want support in this issue. So I cannot do any further debugging of what is the actual issue.

I assure you that these are very small problems and can be solved by contacting us for support. I am glad to help you resolve these issues if you wish to use the extension in the future.

Fantastic Extension



Posted on 19 February 2017
Functionality
Functionality extends beyond the out-of-the-box component and well into the activity feed module that lets you decide how to display topics.
Ease of use
Easy to manage, a bit harder to style to your site if you lack CSS knowledge. Lack of component options panel in favor of Global Config use.
Support
Support is impressive. Maverick is quick to respond. However it's rarely needed except for feature suggestions.
Documentation
Documentation is clear but could use some localization. Otherwise, everything's pretty straight forward.
Value for money
Absurd. This extension is far superior to Kunena, albeit Kunena is free and CJF is paid. If you're using Kunena, I recommend switching ASAP.
I used this to: A website that handles a growing community. I couldn't ask for a better forum, nor could I find one. Any function requirements I have are nitpicking and don't take away from the amazing original product.
