Outstanding! Everything you need, including what is most important: sharing on social networks.
Ease of use
Ok, if you want users to have their own gallery, you definitely need to figure the access out but it's worth it and not that complicated.
Support
Outstanding. Matt is the best.
Documentation
Good!
Value for money
Absolutely worth it.
I used this to: http://going-natural.com.
There are many MANY galleries out here and I have tried most of them. Although they look great, non of them matches the functionality of Igallery:
1) people can upload their own gallery/album
2) SHARING! This is so important today.

Excellent support

This component has a lot of features, but missing a few that I needed.
Ease of use
Some very nice admin functionality for the component documented well on the support site.

Support is excellent. Sadly this component just wasn't for me but Matt refunded my purchase merely minutes after I contacted him.
Documentation
Very good documentation and demo on the support website.

Fairly good value for the price of the component/plugin/module. If you factor in the support it is very well worth it.

Really good component! Very versatile gallery with plenty of options and nice elegant layout.
Ease of use
Very easy to use and learn.
I did however miss having tooltips giving a small description of each setting. Would make it even easier to use
Support
Haven't needed it, but heard its great.
Documentation
The documentation is good and thorough. Would however be better if the screenshots had been updated with 3.x screenshot, instead of 2.5.
