Pretty good functionality for the price

Functionality

Has most of the features you would want for a functioning rental website, and several that you will probably not need.

Ease of use

The front end navigation could be better and the admin side is not very intuitive, but pretty easy to use once you understand the logic.

Support

Support is timely. I had only minor support issues that were cleared up pretty quickly. There was a bit of language barrier.

Documentation

It exists, but it could be better. The developer should distill common issues into a more extensive FAQ.

Value for money

Excellent value for €99. (Why does this need to be longer than 64 characters!)

I used this to: A photography equipment rental website. (Why does this need to be longer than 64 characters!)

Hard to configure and doesn't have even the simplest of features you would expect from a paid module

Functionality

It is missing simple things like "click here to agree to rental terms ". Many other things, but I do not have room to list them here.

Ease of use

Very hard to configure and understand as nothing is labeled in a way for you to intuitively understand why it is there to begin with.

Support

There is no direct way of contacting support. You have to post to a forum to then wait to see if support gets back to you.

Documentation

documentation is just a broad overview and doesn't provide any useful information to help configure/fix anything

Value for money

for $130...it is a waste of money and I feel I got ripped off. You also only get 6 months of support...which that alone is absurd .

I used this to: I wanted to start a equipment rental company and this seemed like it would work....but it is lacking in every way possible and not worth the money or effort spent trying to get it to work properly.

Great Product

Fantastic Product. Easy to configure. Easy to modify to fit your needs. AND probably the best support that I have received from any company.

Ease of use

Quick install. Was up and running in less than an hour.

Support

Best support that I have received from any company.

Documentation

Very clear and easy to understand documentation

Value for money

Totally worth the small investment. We made our money back in one day.

I used this to: I use this to rent outdoor equipment.
