Functionality
A few years ago this component had excellent functionality and was getting new features every month,but in the last few years 0 new features
Ease of use
It is difficult to use this component when in Joomla 5 in the Control Panel you have a dark theme that is not compatible with the component.
Support
Support has been promising you for the last few years that they will add new features, they even have a roadmap, but nothing new is added.
Documentation
Very outdated documentation on the official website, which was last updated many years ago.
Value for money
I don't know what I've been paying money for the last few years!
The component doesn't have any of the new features that were promised.
I used this to: create a community, the ability to comment on articles on my website and the notification module.
Functionality
BUGGY!! Their support forum is filled with errors, but the staff hides critical comments about their products.
Ease of use
Not customizable, but for $1,200 their team will help you. Yes, I got that from their staff who tried to swindle me to get help setting up.
Support
They have one excuse after another as to why their products don't work with Joomla 4. They hide people's complaints in the forum.
Documentation
Out of date. Even tutorials done by customers are not current. Joomla 4 messed up their products, and they lied about when they would fix.
Value for money
Waste of money. It took them more than 5 months to try to fix Guru, then they tell me too much time went buy so I'm not entitled to refund.
I used this to: My platform is based on courses, so Guru was a must, and the reason I purchased JomSocial was to have a community with the courses. Joomlart staff put out a buggy Guru so I asked for my money back, and they said pick from their other products. Guru is their only option!

Excellent Social Network



Posted on 22 February 2022
Functionality
Excellent, many many add-ons available (don't use only JED to find them but google search too...), i use this extension since 8 years
Ease of use
You install it and it works without issue. Sometimes i ask to my dev to make some changes but no big issues
Support
Many Joomla developpers have used this extension during the last years. Support isn't good after the buying back of ijoomla by joomlart.
Documentation
Good, Some changes were made, doc are old but you can find what you need (in jomsocial or in the web)
Value for money
Excellent. installation is really simple and you can use it in many orojects
I used this to: Role Playing Social Network and Pictures Social Network. I use Easysocial too in some others site (for modern display) but i really like this extension because of all add-ons!
Functionality
Easy to handle the configurations, Each section is well set for a new person to setup.
Ease of use
Found it difficult at first day but after playing for some time its on my hands very user friendly like Facebook
Support
Support is very fast and my issue got resolved on the same day. Most of issue already solved in other users threads so sometime its better
Documentation
Documentation is long but bit outdated now. need more details and updates
Value for money
Found it value for money if you are looking to built a social community for your area.
I used this to: I am using it on my E learning site for teacher and students community.

Don't Buy!!!



Posted on 18 September 2020
Functionality
It's NOT customizable, you cannot change the structure of the site, you can only take what they give you and change the pretty colors
Ease of use
Extremely difficult to use - even to change the headline, you need coding skills
Support
AWFUL support - they take 24 hours to answer even the smallest issue
Typically their response is look at this documentation
Documentation
poorly detailed documentation and not up-to-date
and even if you follow instructions step-by-step, they don't always work
Value for money
0 value
the right price for this should be free because it offers no usable customization unless you just want to duplicate their site
I used this to: I don't use it any more. after wasting my time for a week, i saw that there is NO WAY to implement my project with them. I tried asking for my money back, but they don't do that -> they stole my money.
i am using community builder now and i am HAPPY!
Owner's reply: Hi
Sorry to hear that, As per refund policy if it does not fall in a refund, we can help you to fix the issue, we checked our system and there is no membership found on your name. If you really have the extension membership I suggest you post the issue on the official forum.

I would look some....

Functionality
It looks like Facebook. It probably functions like one with the ability to login using your facebook account.
Ease of use
Easy to install but not user friendly to configure for somebody that is new to creating a website.
Support
Documentation
Value for money
I would not recommend it. Be careful before you get this extension as it is pretty much locked in. There are others that are better.
I used this to: Supposedly to organize events and make it easy to view for members.
Functionality
Amazing functionality with tons of features support. a combination of all feature that required to built community.
Ease of use
I am using it for 7 years and till now no issue noticed if you know basic Joomla it's very easy to use platform.
Support
Support is pretty fast now, compared to older days, impress with bug fixing, as it took 24 hours my bug got fixed.
Documentation
Documentation is good, but need to be improved more with time. as new features added with time.
Value for money
Must value for money with trustable developers. Its combination of all social needs.
I used this to: I am using this for an education platform for teachers and students and parents to meet at one place.
With groups, events and pages feature my needs are mostly complete.
Owner's reply: Thank you :)
