Support
sergey is very helpfull and some forums members are great like Giorgi625 or pepperstreet.
Documentation
could be more exhaustive but cobalt is always becoming powerful day after day, so an exhaustive documentations is impossible.
I used this to: I have a big agency, i work with wordpress, joomla, vbulletin, drupal and what i can say cobalt is the most powerfull tool it is very simple, it is the best solution for a custom forum with customs fields (video field, relations field) .
Functionality

Ease of use
ues very intuitive

great forum to have support and sergey is very professional
Documentation
you have full doc and videos
I used this to: a real estate agency and it is perfect for that especillay for several fields like video field, audio field and relation
Functionality
Tons of functionality right out of the box. Impressive amount of fields and modules to get the job done.
Ease of use
Has some learning curve. Encourages you to extend your knowledge of PHP and MySQL so you can create anything you want. It's pretty amazing.
Support
I had outstanding support from Sergey and the forum. Special thanks to Sergey. Without his help and guidance, my project wasn't possible.
Documentation
Plenty of stuff to read and video's to view to get you started. The forum provides a great source of tips, tricks, and example code.
I used this to: Anything, actually. I just wish I had come across it earlier. I can't express enough gratitude to Sergey who helped me solve some serious issues and who was willing to extend his software to accommodate my needs. Cobalt deserves more users so Sergey can keep up the good work!
Functionality
This is most functional extension I have ever used and I love it. I was able to do so many things with it for last 5 years
Ease of use
you will need time to get used to it and will need some basic html,css,php knowledge to get best results.
Support
Extension was abandoned by developer so you do not get any support and it will not get update for Joomla 4. so do not waste time on it.
Documentation
documentation is not good enough to let understand non coders what to do.
I used this to: I used for many different tasks. I created forums, busines directories, movie catalogs, news portals, intranets and many more
Functionality
Many content types all highly configurable, with relations, full audit trail, tags, comparisons. Too much to list here - Pls check the site
Ease of use
Cobalt its plugins and modules install as 1 pkg. Integrates well with other J exts. All configs via good back end screens. no xml files!
Support
First class: Developer is dedicated, responsive and available on the Forums - which are great community of knowledgeable users quick to help
Documentation
Mintjoomla have made it as easy as poss to get up to speed with good videos and docs. If stuck just ask on the forums - even for free users!
I used this to: 'Directories' - classifieds, jobs, motors, real estate listings with maps. Blogs (there's a great template inc), Photo Galleries etc. If any -ve its the options are a bit bewildering at first, but anything so configurable is going to be a bit complex - rtfm first, then ask = easy
Functionality
Functionality allows to implement plans
Ease of use
All intuitive
Support
Support for fast and high-quality
Documentation
I used this to: I use this extension for a long time, I was able to realize conceived project that has become quite popular. I express my deep gratitude to the developer. Faced with technical problems, the developers have helped me solve them successfully. For that special thank you to them!
I've dealt with numerous J! extension support teams and none have really stood out for me for their exceptional service... until I interacted with the guys at Mintjoomla!



I have to say there's nothing more powerful than good customer service when it comes to winning over a potential customer and I am more than pumped to get on the Cobalt bandwagon!



Mintjoomla's responses to my questions (in particular, @pepperstreet) were incredibly fast and more than helpful. He went out of his way to help me find a solution to my problem, even researching alternatives and listing resources that could further assist me. They are the complete package! I highly recommend using their products as you can't really go wrong when you have incredible customer support coupled with incredible products!
Excellent component. Easily the most flexible available for Joomla, miles ahead of any other.



Of course, no component is good without good support and Cobalt is exception here - the team at Mint Joomla are fantastic, with swift responses to questions, feature requests, etc



There is a learning curve with Cobalt because it is so big, there are so many uses for it - which is perfect because you can use one component for nearly every type of Joomla site.



Highly recommend this component and the developer!!!

Incredible



Posted on 15 August 2014
I have been using Cobalt for about a year and it has been absolutely fantastic. I am constantly amazed at the amount of functionality that they have built in to Cobalt. Sometimes it's hard to find documentation for certain things but the developers are great (Sergey in particular) at getting back to you quickly using their forum and offer a lot of helpful guidance. I started using Cobalt for one project and I've had several projects come up since where Cobalt has proven to be a perfect solution. It will take you a while to figure it all out but when you do, you'll be amazed at how many things you'll find Cobalt is great for. It's definitely an investment in your time you won't be sorry you made. Make sure you take advantage of the forum on their website to ask questions and share with the rest of the Cobalt community.
As my title says it all, even if you are not a developer but you want to design your own website, you can definitely do it!



Cobalt is a bit difficult to understand at the very early stage but after few trials and errors, you'll definitely built one of the best possible website with it.



Cobalt has lots of powerful features that offer you unlimited possibilities, just take Joomla + Cobalt makes possible to develop anything you desire.



I am not a developer but due to the financial status of our small company, I started to learn about Joomla so that I may try to develop our company website by myself without the need to hire a developer.



After few months, having tried mostly all other CCK extensions such as ZOO, Content Builder, FlexiContent among others, I decided to give Cobalt a try!



At the first look, I was really scared and even decided to left it aside and tried to find some other solutions, but I did not find any other.



So, I get back to Cobalt and decided to make some efforts to understand how it works and based on tutorials (video & tutorials), I was able to understand its main features and functionality and created our first website.



Today, I have developed 3 websites using Cobalt and all are just perfect, a golf community and advertising portal, a real estate website and a tour operator website, the 4th website is currently under development, all 4 websites for my own company and I did not pay a penny to any freelancer.



Sergey, the head of Cobalt development team is so wonderful, support is just perfect with basically instant (maybe a bit more) but definitely in less than 8 hours, all your support requests are answered.



Updates are done weekly, but in case of urgent bugs and issues, updates are available the same day, I have paid US$ 99 for the pro version of Cobalt and I am very happy about it, if I could, I would even pay much more as they really deserve it, with Cobalt I have saved thousands of dollars and why not encourage the development of this component by providing some financial support to its development team?



As soon as my websites are fully operational and I start to generate some income, I will definitely renew my subscription and even help the Cobalt community as much as possible during my free times.
