"Joomla is a great website CMS!"
5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

I love the speed at which I can create a website, using Joomla. I appreciate the ability to add a variety of free or paid templates, extensions, and components, to make my websites look professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

I would like it if Joomla had an automated extension updating capability, as well as better protocols in place to prevent spammers and fake site registrations. Extensions are available to help with these issues, but they are an extra charge, and the good ones can be expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great CMS for website design"
5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

I've been using Joomla since 2007. I've tried using other content management systems, such as WordPress and Drupal, but those don't meet my needs like Joomla does. Joomla allows you to create different categories for your articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

I think Joomla gets better with each new software release. Everything works as expected, but Joomla 4 can take some getting used to because it's nothing like the previous versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Joomla has extensive Joomla Extensions Directory it has many extensions but sometime it is difficult to find the ideal solution for the problem we are solving. It take lot of time to figure it out what will work and what will not work for our project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding CMS"
5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

Joomla allows the user to dig into the back-end file structure (if you know what you're doing) and you're able to do some sophisticated customization. WordPress doesn't allow this. But, Joomla is still user-friendly enough that you can administer a Joomla site and use someone who has little to no coding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

There are not too many things that I dislike about the Joomla platform. To implement and maintain a Joomla instance, you will need to have someone with some experience with middle-ware and maintaining a server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Joomla vs Wordpress -- the winner depends on what you need out of a website"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

Joomla is reasonably intuitive to use. The built-in features guide you towards a functional website using tools that are highly configurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

It became clear after the first year of using Joomla that a lot of the plugins you might read about were only available for Wordpress and no Joomla version exists. It wasn't a problem in the vast majority of cases, but I found a few instances where it seemed like the Joomla competitor to big name solutions on Wordpress weren't quite as good.
