Structure is a powerful add-on that lets you create pages, generate navigation, manage content through a simple interface and build robust sites faster than ever. It forgoes the current template_group/template setup and creates “static” and “listing” pages that are all editable through a tree sitemap view. Now, traditional page style content and multiple entry pages can live within the same area. Your clients & authors will rejoice.
Structure is flexible and provides quicker, more freeform building. Pages can be assigned to any channel using any template you choose.

very client-friendly module. Downside: considerably slower pageloads. And when called more than once (for inst. mainnav and subnav) the amount of queries snailed down the pageload so much we had to turn away from Structure all together… The larger the pagetree, the more it seems to slow down
Hobofi 11.22.11
Despite some issues (see other reviews), probably my favorite add-on of all time. Clients love it and for most sites Structure just saves so much time and makes things so easy that I wouldn’t want to live without it. Well worth the money! Actively developed and great support.

I haven’t built a site without this module in 2 years. Must have for all sites. Clients drool over it.
Mike Combs 08.22.11
Conflicts with categories, pagination, calendar, anything with extra URL segments; you’ll need to find workarounds. Updates sometimes change syntax; you’ll have to rewrite. Docs are poor; just try to find paginate. Makes the CP slooow. Still, you probably need this.
BA Creative 08.15.11
Powerful and flexible plugin to help craft your unique taxonomy / IA requirements. Fills a gap in EE, by accommodating static pages in an intelligent way. Friendly CP for clients. I only wish it supported categories, pagination and archives out of the box (atm you need Zoo Triggers or Freebie)
Steven Grant 10.06.10
This is almost an essential addon for every project now. It allows rapid development of even the most complex sites, builds sub nav etc automatically. Great time saver and the most important aspect…clients love it!!!
Bransin 04.17.10
Should be included with an EE install. Forget the pages module, Structure will save you time in developing hierarchy. Template and entry hierarchy that is 4 levels deep or more is not easy with native EE. I haven’t seen it done without Structure, and there are many head scratchers without it.
Jacob Russell 03.12.10
Comes with a bit of a learning curve, but one of the most useful EE Add-Ons out there. One of those things where you wonder “why wasn’t EE like this to begin with?” Absolutely recommend it for site building.
Ryan Masuga 03.06.10
This is an impressive add-on. I think the docs could be fleshed out a bit!
One thing I’d like is to have a “ghost” parent, or a way to gather seemingly random parentless Structure pages together into groups, especially for pages that live right off the root of the site.
Very useful. Nice work!

Much more powerful and customizable than the standard Pages module.
