## Reviews

### "One of the Best Plugins I've Ever Used" — 5.0/5

> **Matthew** | *25 May 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This plugin is incredibly functional right out of the box, and the developer support was amazing: I mean, they went way above and beyond to help me customize this solution to meet my specific needs.
> 
> **Cons**: I honestly have nothing bad to say about this software or the developer.
> 
> We created a browsable song database at TheSound.com and needed to use a directory plugin that allowed us to apply multiple category/tag/genre definitions to each listing, while still being able to organize individual tracks by album. It wasn't easy to find a solution that allowed for all of this, but Directorist was perfectly suited for this configuration right out of the box.
The developer helped us sort out customizations to allow only registered users to download the tracks... I mean, they helped us create a highly customized solution based on our needs.

### "Directorist ... awesome.. with great customer support." — 4.0/5

> **Clarrie** | *26 May 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Directorist has many features and benefits straight out of the box. With a great selection of options and tick box variables. A few minor bugs appeared but the customer support is great, detailed and dependable. Works well as a stand alone product and has many integration options or plugins.
> 
> **Cons**: Some aspects of the admin management are slow and clunky and I am looking forward to ongoing refinements and improvements in future updates.
> 
> My overall experience with Directorist is one of satisfaction as they have taken on board one off amendments to our system and willing accepted others to be included in future versions or updates to the benefit of every user of Directorist. Communication is responsive, clear and honest.
