Does exactly what it is supposed to do. As mentioned in extension description, you can mix filters and smart search to get good UX.
Ease of use
Fast configuration to get a quick and dirty result and test functionnality. Then you can fix what is not so easy. But documentation is good.
Support
Excellent. And friendly. I asked for a quite specific need and I got answers in very short time.
Documentation
The extension is well documented with tutorials to make it completely clear.
I used this to: Display and filter a catalogue, mixed with smart search results. A lot of overrides, easy to follow thanks to Joomla 4

The best filtering solution in this category

The free version is very powerful for filtering Joomla articles. The pro version is a Must Have for pro Joomla websites and worth the money.
Ease of use
The backend settings are easy to understand, the frontend design is easy to override.
You'll need less than 5 mns to configure and use it.
Support
I've post some newbie questions on the forum support and Sakis replied me in few hours with all the details (and some smart advices too).
Documentation
There's one but JFilters is very easy to use and manage - even for Joomla newcomers - and works like a charm. You probably won't need it
I used this to: I was using another extension but less handy and with many compatibility issues. I've changed for the JFilters pro version to provide a smooth and efficient solution to filter the Joomla templates on templatejoomla - JFilters is the best filtering solution available for J4.

Professionale filter extension. Ideal for Yootheme Pro.

Extends the default Joomla category blog as well as the search filter.
Ease of use
Consists out of a component to predefine filters, menu items to define result pages and modules to create filters in the frontend.
Support
Excellent. Asked for adding a feature - and got it implemented just one day later.
Documentation
Comprehensive documentation is available. It right to the point.
I used this to: Use it heavily to filter Joomla articles by category and custom fields on many client projects. Also available is a free JSFilter Plugin for Yootheme Pro which makes use with dynamic Yootheme Pro Elements an easy task.

Just works like a clock.
Alongside Joomla 4 custom fields it opens a lot of potential if you want to build directories, blogs, etc.

If you have the slightest idea about databases you are ready to go immediately - others might have to spend 10 minutes getting it

Absolutely excellent ! Had some issues with indexing - but Support spent the time required to find the Joomla Smart Search problem
Documentation
Does what is has to without being complicated. Easy to understand. Easy to access
I used this to: Directory building and Learning platform for construction industry professionals.

Simply the best Filter tool for Joomla 4



Posted on 19 October 2022
Functionality
It allows to filter not only on Categories and on Tags... but also on Custom Fields.
That combination makes it super powerful.
See the demo
Ease of use
As it is powerful, it is worth checking the doc or seeing one of the several live presentations made by the developer at JoomlaDays etc.
Support
Always to the point.
New feature are coming regularly.
See the presentations made ao at JoomlaDay USA, JoomlaDay D-A-CH and at BasicJoomla
Documentation
Besides the classical documentation there are also nice tutorials.
I used this to: I use it on several sites.
The best usecase so far is probably this one: Mois du Doc (in Belgium)
(btw there is also a plugin allowing it to use it direclty in YOOtheme, which makes it even more powerful)
