Definitely not worth the money

You get 2 version zentools and zentools 2.
Version 2 seems to be in alpha stage.
For both a lot of work to be done with css
Ease of use
Confusing interface, not clear the purpose of the parameters
Documentation
Very weak and incomplete
Value for money
If I had the possibility to test an installable demo I never bought this extension. Very low value.
I used this to: Non suitable for my purposes, useless, I trashed the files. I solved the problem with another extension free.

Great tools and excellent support

Brilliant - free with my template subscription.

This incredibly powerful extension can create amazing slideshows and grid-views. It is part of all my websites. Joomlabamboo have done an amazing job. I recommend zentools to everybody. My own clients are impressed with the things joomla is able to do with this extension. Excellent presets, manual and support. Thanks a lot guys!

Zentools and the JB team are awesome and easy to work with



Posted on 28 June 2014
The Zentools module is an elegant and versatile display module! It's very intuitive and though I didn't think it was possible, the JB team continues to impress me with the flexibility of this module. The zenslider and tabs makes it even easier to make on-the-fly accordion and tabs. I use a lot of extensions and I have never encountered any conflict when using Zentools.

If I ever run into any issues, Anthony and his team are right there with a ready and trustworthy response and solution.



thanks JB team!

Excellent module and support is great



Posted on 27 June 2014
Very versatile display module. On top of that, the support is first rate. Even answer daft questions promptly and without judgement. I also use their templates, well worth the annual fee. Wholeheartedly recommend.
