"Great idea, a little hard to find support"
2/5
What do you like best about Concrete CMS?

My favorite part is the edit-in-place feature. This makes it really easy for me to build websites for clients and then hand it over to them to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Concrete CMS?

My least favorite thing is that Concrete 5 isn't as widespread as some other web platforms. So there's fewer widget options and support. I liked how simple it was to implement, as I don't have a ton of web development experience, but when I got stuck, I found it pretty frustrating to try to find the answers I need. Like other CMSs, I am always nervous to install updates, because I'm afraid it will break the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Straightforward CMS"
4/5
What do you like best about Concrete CMS?

I first used C5 years ago while it was fairly new in the market. What caught my attention then was the on page editing experience that was very new at that time as none of the other CMSs had implemented it.

The development experience as well was brilliant. Creating a theme from your HTML built site was straightforward and required a few lines of code to make editable fields.

The learning curve was a no brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Concrete CMS?

One of the issues back then was load times and seamless updates had not been implemented.

I haven't built a site into it in a while so I'm not sure what the update experience is like now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I have had positive a experience with Concrete5. I have built a couple of sites on it."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Concrete CMS?

Easy edits, lots of resources, pretty good customer service forums. I really like the themes and how you can take a theme design and make it your own. Most CMS have limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Concrete CMS?

The updates. Seems like every three months there is an update. I actually did an update and it disrupted the entire site. I had to do a complete rebuild. The contact page, despite the fact there is a recaptcha, doesn't seem to have a spam filter. I get inundated with spam daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Concrete CMS?

Some developer documentation is a bit obscure and out of the date. Also, there are not as many tutorials available as for some other platforms, which makes a job bit more difficult for certain things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
