The product and support dysfunctional

Murugappan Ramanathan (10).
Posted on 23 September 2024

Functionality

The functionality "appears" to be good. Could not test after purchase as the extension is broken for Joomla 4 and 5. Very misleading.

Ease of use

No way to test this. The extension and support are dysfunctional.

Support

Very bad (or worse) support i have seen so far. I think they may have given up.

Documentation

Extensive but not useful to a beginner. Very cryptic and messy. I would need an AI to explain.

Value for money

Definitely not a value for money. That goes for all their products as well.

I used this to: I could not use it. No way to test this. The extension and support are dysfunctional.

Unreliable Products, Broken Promises – Stackideas is No Longer Worth Your Time or Money

mberwing (3).
Posted on 17 August 2024

Functionality

Good functionality ruined by poor support and unresolved issues. What good is it if problems can’t be fixed?

Ease of use

Ease of use is irrelevant when support fails to resolve critical issues. Once great, now unusable.

Support

Terrible support. Months-old tickets unresolved, empty promises, and inadequate responses. No help, no solutions.

Documentation

Documentation is well-written, but it can’t compensate for a lack of competent support or unresolved bugs.

Value for money

Faulty components and virtually non-existent support. The high cost is not justified by the poor service and product quality.

I used this to: After years of use, we’re deeply disappointed with Stackideas. Unreliable products, abysmal support, and unresolved bugs. Promises are not kept, and there are no real alternatives. Definitely not recommended. Save your time and money!

Broken after Joomla 4 and php 8 - with no support

Ari Doucette (2).
Posted on 26 June 2024

Functionality

After Joomla 4 and php 8 this extension no longer works properly.

Ease of use

When it used to work it was easy to use. After initial configuration it was a nice component.

Support

Have had support ticket with them now for past four months but no action on their part. Asking for a refund for past two months - none given

Documentation

Was never great, but at times adequate. One could understand what they were getting at, and then mostly figure things out themselves.

Value for money

Just stick to using Joomla articles in a category (e.g. call it the "blog" category) and make a page to display that. Much more reliable.

I used this to: I used this for a blog for close to ten years. Worked well until this past year when the developer stopped supporting it. Now their "support" staff just string me along saying things will get fixed, but no fixes in past year. Their code is no longer compatible with Joomla 4 or 5.

Company abandons its customers.

Carl Farrington (7).
Posted on 14 May 2024

Functionality

since the upgrade to j5 there have been so many errors that the company is no longer aqblen to keep up and has abandoned support.

Ease of use

good luck findingmyour weay around system, to much of learning curve. It could be better if the company provides more up to date documentati

Support

I have been waiting almost two months for a response back with either a fix or a refund. so far support has seemed non existent

Documentation

The documentation appears to be years old when no. recent updates are even a matching screenshot, so good luck trying to. troubleshoot this

Value for money

The value is great if you're good at coding. because that's the only way you're going to get any real value out of it, since they can't fix anything there anymore.

I used this to: I have dependent on these components for years for building my client site. However, I can no longer rely on them for my client sites.

Good extension, excellent customer support

The only Blog component i'll ever need

Alex Lee (2).
Posted on 23 June 2021

Functionality

Its great, you have every thing you'll ever need, rss feed import is my favorite just because it helps me quickly set up a news hub

Ease of use

Stackideas understand UI/UX it shows in the ease of use of their products

Support

Second to none, you can tell they want to build a long term relationship with their clients

Documentation

Value for money

Its good value for just the compomnent but add the support on top its way more value

I used this to: Clients, personally, any where and every where i can. its the only component all of my clients walk away using

Great extension

Posted on 04 April 2021

Functionality

Awesome! Everything presented on their website works as it should, Facebook Instant Articles is such a great feature

Ease of use

I don't regret spending a single cent on this extension. I will use it for more projects soon.

I used this to: My client needed a robust solution for social blog where many people can publish their stories.

A professional component

Giora (15).
Posted on 09 June 2020

Functionality

It is a real professional blog software as stated. Tons of features and possibilities.

Ease of use

Very easy. Drag & Drop all over.
Designing the page layout is awesome.
The setting menu is a little complicated and could be reorganized.

Support

I am using it for many years. The support is Amazing! Very quick and professional. I would like to see more extensive knowledge

Documentation

I rarely use the documentation but I would like to see a better forum or knowledge base

Value for money

The product is excellent and the value is Very good. although I would like to offer it to more sites.

I used this to: Everyone who asks for a blog. This is a great way to display content in your site.

A Standard Blog for all Joomla sites

Bachfrc (3).
Posted on 19 February 2020

Functionality

So many admin options and works professionally like a blog so very useful

Ease of use

Configurations are easy but you have to read their docs to understand sometimes in better manner.

Support

Documentation

Value for money

Best value for a developer's money. With all the features this extension has, it's ease of use, and the support you receive, it's worth it!

I used this to: Using it on both of my Joomla sites and very happy with the outcome.
