I’ve been using Joomla for almost 20 years, and it’s still one of my favorite CMS platforms. It’s stable, flexible, and gives me full control without making things too complicated. I really like how many extensions and templates are available, and the community has always been helpful over the years. Even after trying other systems, I keep coming back to Joomla because it just works for the type of websites I build.

I have even founded a locl Joomla user grou in 2009-10 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d say some parts of the interface still feel a bit old-style, and it can take time to find the right option when you’re setting up a new site. Updates are much better today, but in the past they were sometimes a bit stressful, especially with many extensions installed. Also, compared to other modern CMS platforms, (like Wordpress) the learning curve can feel a little steep for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Majority of Joomla plugins are paid and quite expensive. To note that the installation, at least back then when I was using it, was quite unstable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simply the best tool for complex websites where you need heavy customization. It allows you to manage everything without the need of installing plugins like Wordpress. I've been using this since version 1, so I believe I have more than 20 years of experience using this daily and I've seen how it has evolved.

It is very easy to install and implement.

When you find developers that really care and really improve their components, you can rely on them. But you have to find them first! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lacks an e-commerce tool like WooCommerce. Customer support is forum-based, pretty poor and vague when you have specific problems. Queries are duplicated multiple times and you get error 500 with big sites. Databases aren't optimized and the assets table messed everything up.

Security is vulnerable and you have to strengthen it from the server side. Some plugins might break the whole thing and there's no safe mode and you have to go into the server and manually delete things.

Most developers focus on WordPress and not on Joomla, so sometimes the components or plugins from the Joomla versions are a bit behind compared to WordPress versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The structure of the database, the holistic functionality of the CMS without the need of any external plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation is lacking hard. Some things for the developer are very hard because there are a lot of unexplained or unnecessary steps to be made. It is highly needed from someone to make a tool for headstarting a component etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have far more flexibility in page control than wordpress allows and once you've learned the different naming protocol for components, plugins etc it's a doddle. Also more secure than wordpress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although there is a massive library of add-on components available it's not as large as Wordpress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
