Totally dissapointed

Free version embed seller's URL all around the website. I tried paid versions of this extension for two of my websites but none of them worked because of many ????? in the URLs. The seller offered me to change my server settings which sounds strange to me - who will change whole dedicated server settings for one small extension to work? Besides, this extension works from the database so if you intend to use it on high load website it will surely crash it.

Owner's reply: Hello, well, the extension cannot work correctly if you refuse to adjust the settings as recommended. Especially if you want to use non-latin characters that requite some extra configuration. We have spent quite a lot of time trying to help. Well, these are the thanks.

Great Product - Horrible Support

We've used JomSEF for two years now without any major problems. Recently we encountered a problem with JomSocial Profile URL and they suggested we contact Artio. We posted to the forum and waited for a response. A week later we received a response "Thanks for reporting issue, we will look on this shortly." We've received no help since. We do have a paid version of JomSEF and offered to pay extra for quicker response. Still no contact from Artio. Product is good, when working, but very slow support.

Owner's reply: Hello, I admit our support is kind of slow sometimes. However, we are trying to improve that continously as much as we can. You need to understand that SEO extensions are quite complex and often tighly server-settings related. Also they need to cooperate with many 3rd party software which make it even more complex. Therefore is quite a lot of support inquiries and we only have limited team. It is simply not always out-of-box solution. Plus, there is paid support option with guaranteed reply time.

Good but Disapointed in Extension Support

Excellent, works well and makes all the right noises when your looking for a good FREE sef solution, but almost every component i needed to support and was listed in the description were paid for extensions, which inevitably rendered a half day of work completely useless and i ended up uninstalling the component. A real shame really. I may use this component again in the future if clients have budgetted for SEF solution although a bit let down and annoyed that Commercial aspects werent outlined more clearly in the desciption.

Great value!

We were very happy with how much better our links worked with the FREE version of JoomSEF and it gave us an opportunity to see how it worked and how it compared to the other solutions available... after much searching and testing we decided to buy from ARTIO and found a nice bundle for our specific needs:

VirtueMart SEO Bundle: JoomSEF 3 + VirtueMart Extension

We are very happy with our choice - this small investment will do so much to help our marketing efforts as our links are now exactly as we need them and it does a good job of creating SEO meta tags automatically for the content without affecting the speed of our site... truly awesome!

Effortless install, upgrade to paid version, and adding the VirtueMart extension. The backend configuration is amazing as it gives us full control of how the links and SEO and everything else is created for each Joomla component and each link... plus the default settings are smart so beginners can get this working without much too effort or assistance.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMED BUYING THIS PRODUCT - without it your website will not be anywhere as effective with search engines, especially if you are using VirtueMart.

Too many problems...

Joomsef has gone down in my book.

I have been using version 4 with 1.6.

First off it seems to clash with JCE, so if you use this editor you cannot get into the configuration of Joomsef. Even though the development team know about this they have not fixed the issue.

Everything worked fine until i tried the print icon which doesn't work at all, Joomsef screws up the link up.

People have made this point on their forum and there has been no support what so ever.

Not happy, I was a paying customer, moved to another SEF plugin until they can fix the bugs.

Owner's reply: Hello,
maybe you could take into consideration it is not JoomSEF bug but a JCE bug. As it works fine with other editors as weel as other JCE versions.

As regards the print link, it is working fine in our testing instance - so maybe you are using different link types in your template?

Many errors and no customer support

I am using Joomla, K2 and JomSocial on my site. Component works good with Joomla. The JomSocial re-write engine is excellent so i have not used the component on JomSocial. There are many problems with K2, such as Pagination, tags, search etc. It does not work well at all. There is no customer support, so i highly do not recommend purchasing this component. Go for the free version, Pro does not give any benefits at all.

This is really not too bad

I know some people will disagree, but I honestly think this extension does just what it says it will do. I've installed Joomsef on about 5 different sites and never had any issue until a week or so ago. I paid for support and true to their word, they delivered a complete solution on SUNDAY NIGHT!!! I don't care what anyone says, you cannot get champagne results with lemonade efforts and any issues with an extension as good as this will either cost you money or time. Other than just being truthful about not knowing what the problem was (to start with) I was also very impressed that for the sake of meeting a deadline, they sorted out the website issues during the weekend.

This extension is not for lazy people. Put in the effort and you'll get the reward of a site with decent SEF URLs.

Not working with "Rapid Recipe" from Rapid Source

I'm using Artio for 2 of my web sites. It's a good component except no integration with "Rapid Recipe" from Rapid Source.

If you use "Rapid Recipe" from Rapid Source, forget Artio

poor support

I bought the commercial version and at first it look very promising. but all of a sudden the component switched my category blog-layout to categoy-view without having changed anything. had to manually adapt all the sef-urls to have the correct view again and after 3 weeks the same happened again! artio offers only paid support, which is very poor for a commercial software, that you paid already! you only can post to the forum (where many people have the same problem) and don't get any answers.

for another site I am not gonna buy this component again.

Owner's reply: Hello the problems you have described might be caused by settings in combination with defined menu links .
I am sorry for your support experience. We try to answer as fast as we can, but it is true our capacity is limited and there is a lot of support queries so sometimes, the reply times are somewhat longer.
That is why you can get paid support with guaranteed reply times.
