Not sure if anyone else has heard of or used this stuff but I really like it.
It's a polymeric that comes in 20kg tubs and is as fine if not finer than symphony jointing compound. The best bit is its around £30+vat

Easy joint comes in 12.5kg tubs and won't go in a narrow joint Dan.

EASYJoint can go down to 3mm, how narrow do you want to go?

I've used easy joint and it's a good product but the tubs are to small and it's the grains are bigger than this product.
Weatherpoint and fast point come in slightly bigger tubs, is slightly more expensive but is pretty much the same product as easy joint.
Symphony jointing compound comes in 20kg tubs and is very fine but it isn't sold separately.
Joint it is pretty much the same as the symphony jointing compound and you get a lot for your money.
To answer your question 4-6mm minimum on joints for me.

We can't do much about tub size I'm afraid, it is something we may look at in the future.
(12.5 Kg Tubs are a common size throughout Europe)
EASYJoint and Weatherpoint use similar technologies for sure, there are subtle differences, most which to the user aren't game changers by any means but as far as we are concerned EASYJoint is a more advanced formula. We offer five colours to their three.
EASYJoint is manufactured in the UK so we would expect Brexit to effect products which aren't made in the UK more than ourselves but we will see what happens.
Joint it is a different product to both, using different technologies, it's interesting that it has smaller grains but still only works down to 3mm like EASYJoint. How do you find working it into the joints?

I've just laid some 1.2x400mm porcelain paving with a 5mm joint and joint it worked in very well and left a lovely finish.
I find it polishes up very well too.
I'm struggling to upload photos at the minute but I've used the stuff on all the patios I've laid this year so feel free to take a look at my Facebook page.
