What do you like best about Backdrop CMS?

Robust Features and Intuitive Interface

Cost Effective for low budget projects - Unlike many other content management systems, backdrop is open source and free to all. Hosting options are afforable making it ideal for low budget projects.

Easy to use and easy to implement - Backdrop is one of the easiest CMS that I have ever used. It's easy navigation and hassle free implemention lets you create and streamline your project single-handedly.

Vibrant Community - The Backdrop community is supportive offering helping documentations, forums, and steps for migration from other CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backdrop CMS?

Limited Themes: Compared to other CMS, Backrop has limited templates therefore finding the right option for your project might be a challange.

Migration Hiccups: You might face some issues while migrating from other platform as some modules might not be support by the Backrop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not beginner friendly"
What do you like best about Backdrop CMS?

Backdrop CMS needs ro provide a user intuitive interface. It would be great that even someone, like me who is not very experienced would be easily navigate and manage my website. The pre built themes and modules provide a limited range of customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backdrop CMS?

It did not allowed me to create an personalized website. I find the community support cumbersome. There needs a helpful community to assist with any questions or issues. The regular updates and improvements are needed to ensure that my website remains up to date and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible,user friendly interface to build complex websites : Backdrop CMS"
What do you like best about Backdrop CMS?

As a free and open source content management system Backdrop CMS has a simple UI for creating webpages. it is simplified version of complex Drupal. One of the benefits of Backdrop CMS is its customization. It has a robust API that enables developers to build custom modules and expand the platform's capabilities. This means that users can add new features to their webpages without knowing how to code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backdrop CMS?

Backdrop CMS has a smaller user population than other CMS platforms, which means that there may be less third-party support and fewer tools accessible. Particularly for begineers it is not so user friendly. Usability may not be as straightforward as some users would like, making it unsuitable for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focused on smaller non-profits"
What do you like best about Backdrop CMS?

Backdrop arose from Drpal, but refined the features rather than introduce new abstractions. It makes sense for smaller organizations, especially smaller non-profit organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backdrop CMS?

It's installed base is still small and has a correspondingly smaller let of extensions than Drupal. It can be used with CiviCRM and available extensions are growing in number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Backdrop CMS offers quality to everyone"
What do you like best about Backdrop CMS?

If you're looking for a free solution, you'd be hard-pressed to beat Backdrop. There's a huge variety of open-source modules to choose from and you can definitely customize your site and add on most of the tools/resources you need, even when they're not available in core. It's a great way to get started and I appreciate their mission of creating something simpler and easier to learn than Drupal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backdrop CMS?

"You get what you pay more" might not be entirely true, but it is true that Backdrop has the limitations of free software. The core version is very simple and it can take some time and effort to find and implement all the modules you need for your site. It also has a bit more of a learning curve than something like Wordpress, for example, so it might not be as accessible to your whole organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, efficient, capable and sexy too!"
What do you like best about Backdrop CMS?

So much needed functionality is available in a core installation without having to locate plugins or modules. The admin is clean and easy to use. User roles are very configurable, and for sites that have multiple roles of access, this CMS excels. The community has also shown themselves to be very responsive and polite in their responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backdrop CMS?

As an app that is still in its early development years, there are necessary modules and plugins, but certainly some key missing modules that can alter the decision to deploy this app as an answer to all situations program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
