"Very useful content management system"
4/5
What do you like best about Magnolia?

This is well-suited for enterprise IT systems that is inscribed in Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

This tool is only limited to laptops and is not mobile or tab friendly. When you are publishing a new form of your self-made module, there is no way to go back if the issues happen. Uninstallation process of the module is very unorganized. Implementation of the customization in the organizational UI of Magnolia demands the developer to know how to use Vaadin. The organizational control panel in the Magnolia is deficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
