"From my point of view the best of the best management content system freeware available"
5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

I have been using Joomla for around 16 years, and it is the most comprehensive and scalable solution for content management (CMS).

First, I used it for my business, and in a couple of weeks, I managed to create an entire business site of the best quality using almost free components. I only paid for the template and SEF component for marketing

Then a few years later, I made my own Live Chat component, which was on the market for almost 10 years. The Joomla marketplace for extension was terrific, and people worldwide got my extension free of charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

From my developer point of view, I dislike how fastest they change the Joomla API, they change everything very fast, and most of the time, the components need to be updated to this new version and this implied to build almost from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple. Easy. Versatile. And Free!"
3/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

Support Articles are in great abundance and so are Joomla extensions that act as site plug-ins to spruce up sites! In no time, a customized and functionally effective site can up and forward facing to meet specific needs. Also, I enjoy the streamlined editor that doesn't require coding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

It's the trade-off that comes with an open source (free) CMS like; that is a dedicated support team is not in your corner like other paid options. Also, navigating Joomla is less than ideal at times and overall, it is quite a clunky platform on the back end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Joomla is the solution for those looking for a CMS with Access Control Level"
3/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

It has been my first choice for many years. Ideal for creating sites with reserved areas, it manages the code very well, the sites can be fast and fluid and the community offers excellent templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

I use Joomla a lot less now because it doesn't compete with the amount of plugins and features in Wordpress. The Joomla community has gone down and this has made customizations and custom activities more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Open source content management system to develop and deploy websites and apps quickly"
4/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

If you want to build, dev and deploy efficient e-commerce websites and applications then joomla is for you. Built using MVC architecture, easy to customize components if you are good with PHP & MySQL . It has a strong dev community for any problem that you may need help with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

It's scalable platform to build CMS and e-commerce sites but interface to customize templates and extensions can get complicated .if you are new to PHP and MVC architecture. Simple CMS sites can do without joomla as it could be way too complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Joomla - Contains Everything You Need To Host and Create Web Content With"
5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

Joomla is quite easy to deploy, configure, and setup. It doesn't take you very long to start creating your first web page. I like how it supports complex themes and the ability to add-on modules, plugins, payment gateways, etc. The possibilities are endless with what you can do with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

Updates are a pain, they can break your site at times. They can break themes and other modules. There has to be a better upgrade method for this platform, it's the reason a lot of Joomla powered sites are still on old versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
