The best thing I find in concrete5 is how easier and scalable this CMS is. It allows you to create custom blocks from existing blocks with proper structure. You can create packages, write automated jobs and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes lot of time during installation, and every new version adds more tables which makes sometimes installation failed in middle, like timeout issue. Most of the time we need to find work around. Need more work on stability of instance, versioning as well. Community needs to be more powerful and active to provide add ons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Training the end-users on this software was pretty easy. We made a guide and everything seems to be running smoothly for the most part. We will occasionally get a question or two on something, but for the most part, everything seems to work fine! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Concrete5 as an IT user has been a pain. It isn't too much of a negative, but uploading files doesn't seem to be as straightforward as it could be. However, as long as it works well for the end users, the software is doing its job I think. IT should have the skills needed to overcome any design flaws that might come with catering to the end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the fact that designers can enter the platform at their skill/comfort level. you can build in WYSIWYG, blocks, or code-edit methods, from a single interface. the instant on-server versioning is awesome. It is not as restrictive as other WYSIWYG platforms, and it is proprietary to a server space (you can use it as WYSIWYG on your own server/hosting). bootstrap brings uniformity to repetitive work.

you have to install it for each website created, so there is an installation per domain in a hosting package. You have to log in/out per website, and multiple installations in design mode on a single server are consuming resources, vs if a single install could handle multiple sites within a hosting package.

The speed and simplicity of the platform is where it shines. It's also easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Looking at form inquiries is more challenging than it needs to be. Since it is not as widely used as, say, WordPress the support and plugins are limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Concrete5 comes with a big jump. From the ground up developed as a blogging software. Concrete5 was originally created as a way to quickly and easily design and build a website. The platform has enough functionality out-of-the-box allowing to build any kinds of websites as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Concrete5 is considered to be very easy, some steps can be more detailed, and vary depending on the specific theme or plugin you are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once installed the design and front-end functionality is perfect for any experience level. Templates and extensions are easy to install and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
