Functionality
Too many functions to list here. Hotspots works fantastic with a number of different social walls... and especially well with K2.
Ease of use
Easy download and setup. You can allow guests to post location markers on the front end with a ReCaptcha that actually works... Tons more.
Support
Daniel provides customer service that is unmatched by any other extension provider I have used. Very knowledgeable and quick response.

Like all Joomla extensions, documentation is not the greatest. But you can figure it out pretty easily. It's not that big a deal.
Value for money
For all the functionality, Hotspots is well priced. See a demo on one of my sites: http://netzaritimes.com/index.php/where-are-you/add-your-location
I used this to: Guests and registered users can post markers at their locations from the frontend. See results at http://netzaritimes.com/index.php/where-are-you . I use this in conjunction with CompoJoom CComments. Notice Latest Comments and Latest Hotspots in R sidebar modules.
