"Easy to use and maintain content management system"

5/5

What do you like best about Joomla?

Joomla's learning curve is straight. We can easily manage and design our content to make it available online. Easy contact form setup which provides the lead directly to mail or we can download all the records as xlsx, pdf etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

The only dislike about Joomla cms is only the uploading of files in a single. There is no option for a bulk upload, or we have to use a third-party service. Sometimes the searching for modules is a bit hectic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"There are better content managers"

2/5

What do you like best about Joomla?

Joomla is a versatile content manager because it is composed of modules, which makes it very configurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

I don't like its usability, I think there are other content managers that are more user-friendly, and that is very important when working on a website in a multidisciplinary team. Also, many of the plugins it uses are paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most powerful CMS I have ever used"

4/5

What do you like best about Joomla?

Joomla is a robust CMS which is built with ZEND MVC framework. Joomla has many advanced-level options for each article post, module etc. If you are an advanced level user or a developer and you are planning to develop a website with CMS then I will suggest going with Joomla. The framework is pure MVC patterened so, you can customize anything as per your requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

Monthly updates for plugins and templated, Free templates are limited. A very easy target for hackers. Security is not that high, SEO is not up to mark. some timed updates crash the whole site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Joomla is best for Beginners being easy to set up. Also, Joomla is the best when it comes to multilingual websites.

"Awsome Opensource CRM"

5/5

What do you like best about Joomla?

I like the open source that allows me to configure and re-do code to fit my own purpose. It is easy to use and easy to setup.

The system also works with articles in a great way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

The fact that it is easy to modify also makes it hard to maintain. It is almost imporssible to jump in after another coder has modified files.

Not really as userfriendly as other CRM but it really does not matter as it is so userfriendly as it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

Joomla is a Open Source CMS built on PHP. Websites can be easily made using Joomla. Its a brilliant Content Management System which allows changing content on the fly.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

Joomla is a very good and easy to use CMS. Also there are multiple templates available over the web which can be used directly for creating interactive websites. Hence there is nothing to dislike. However one needs to understand how Joomla works inorder to have customizations. It has a very user friendly GUI which makes it simple to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would recommend Joomla to others as it is freely available and websites can be easily designed using Joomla. Also since the templates are available directly for Joomla, websites and web applications can be made easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Joomla is an awesome CMS"

5/5

What do you like best about Joomla?

The ability to set up a website within just a couple of hours, start to finish. Joomla includes the content management system, templates, plugins and templates, making the design and setup of a website fast and easy! And the best part? It's FREE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

The boring default templates that come with the Joomla CMS are old and not attractive. Most decent templates can be costly, and while many have "free" versions, they don't come with presets that would make a website look professional and unique. Joomla also has security issues, and one must be VERY vigilent in managing CMS, extension, module, and component updates, to ensure the security of your websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Joomla:

When you first start Joomla, every time you come across an issue you aren't sure of, make a note of it, research the answer online or on YouTube, and then be sure to make a note of what the answer is, so you can refer back to it the next time you come across that same issue! We found that was the best way to "remember" how to resolve a repeated issue; otherwise you will forget how to fix problems! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Joomla solving and how is that benefiting you?

Joomla will bring the user into the 21st Century. If you're coming from html website development to Joomla, you'll be amazed at the ease in which you can develop your website. It literally will take you just a couple of hours, versus days. You can easilty upload and use media files, all through the administrator's control panel, vs. having to upload images via FTP, and then figuring out the link, and adding it using html code. It's really a very easy process by comparison! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
