Value for money

Functionality

What was important to me was the functionality needed to create contests. And this component has them as described.

Ease of use

Despite the fact that I consider myself a novice, I managed the installation and configuration.

Support

I cannot complain. I had one question and received an answer fairly quickly which cleared up my doubts.

Documentation

Clear and easy to read - I found what I was looking for. There was no need to explore the whole docu & the basic issues are well explained

Value for money

The price is not exorbitant for the current market situation. I found seemingly less functional solutions at a higher price.

I used this to: For my photo competitions web page. The website is an opportunity for starting photographers to present images of historic buildings.

Good idea & product but bad support attitude

Posted on 18 August 2022

Functionality

This extension fullfill needs but not all wants for its purpose. One problem is to reach out and get updates/info for new Joomla versions.

Ease of use

Easy customise voting model as you like and thats something good for this product. Easy to use and difficult to communicate with developer

Support

Limited support by subscription Kuena forum. The dev seems he doesnt understand he is in the service industry and customers buy the product

Documentation

Good documentation and easy to understand. You can find all your info easy.

Value for money

Good value if you got the support and secure future updates for new Joomla versions. But the dev not communicate any road map or updates

I used this to: A site where I planned to have a voting competition but now I cancel this bcs of futue insecurity of updates and security patches, bad dev attitude etc

Owner's reply: We are sorry that you have been disappointed. But we always reply to everyone on support forum. The J4 version is not a bug or issue, it requires complex changes of the product - releasing the new version and thereby is out of support scope.
We understand that you have been expecting Joomla 4 version of the product. We work on this way, but there is no deadline. The EOL for Joomla 3 is August 2023, and it is still secure, so you can create a website using latest Joomla 3 version. We always pay attention to the security and functionality, so NorrCompetition is secure and stable product.
