"I love the idea of Multiple Hosting and Teams"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

The ability to host multiple sites and content for clients and internal teams simultaneously on one platform. We were exploring complete ownership of our platform, with all the tools we needed for performance and integration, as well as managing our teams, and Joomla seemed ideal to try this out on, along with Drupal. Within a couple of hours, it was cleat to us that Joomla was the simpler of the two platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

The learning curve is a bit much to take on, especially from an Admin role, but I really don't see how you can get around it. The setup seems to compartmentalized but as a small business, the training time was tedious, but that wasn't because of a lack of material. It just seemed like the training was a project of it's own accord. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A pretty good option if you are looking to create a basic blog"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

The advantage of Joomla in addition to being free is that it offers facilities to people who have little knowledge in the area of web page programming. It is something intuitive and with many options available to create a very complete basic blog. It also has a very good administrator panel where you can manage the pages that your site has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

Despite all its advantages, it has many weak points to consider, starting with the fact that even though it has many widgets and plugins, its repertoire is not really that wide. It is also not recommended if you want to create a professional website with a large number of options and its SEO optimization is not very advanced such as other software that offers the same service.

"Joomla Open Source CMS To Design And Develop Secure Business Website"
5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

Joomla is secure CMS to publish website and manage content easily. It is more secure than WordPress. Hackers can't easily hack our business website directly from CMS because it build with three application Model, View and controller. Every Single part of website design with separate application. Controller works on user action and fetch the data from model and view the website design to use. So it is powerful Tool to develop website. To login in joomla website we have to use administrator that is good one to access admin panel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Comprehensive and Flexible CMS"
5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

It is quite an easy platform to install and operate. It takes very less time to start working on it. It is easy as compared to WordPress and simple as compared to drupal. Thousands of useful plugins accessible at the homepage of Joomla. If you want to make your platform more functional you can also install some of its paid plugins as well. It has an abundance of helpful tutorials and tools. It creates websites in a hierarchical order which is not a complicated process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomla?

Some advanced templates and modules are missing in it but it is improved than WordPress. You have to increase your resources and more storage if your website is too large and having lots of visitors. Most of its modules are paid. There are some compatibility issues between its plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Joomla encompasses a lot of power."
5/5
What do you like best about Joomla?

Joomla has given its maximum potential in each update. They have added nested categories to have a more organized hierarchy control, they also added revision control, whose action that has gone wrong can be reversed for example a failure in the publication of an article.
