"Magnolia CMS System - Easy & Fast"
4/5

Magnolia is the powerful, easy and fast way to create and manage the content of your website.

With the latest versions and updates, it is even more easy to develop the website using Light-Weight modules and are cloud based.

The latest version also provide with the CLI tool for the development.

As the end user of the tool, it also provides the multisite support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

The only downside I have seen is for the existing user who are using quite outdated version of Magnolia. It is not very easy to migrate from 4.x version to the latest version as there is huge change in internal structure and specification used by the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Magnolia - CMS Overview"
4/5
What do you like best about Magnolia?

Magnolia comes with a ton of features like any other CMS tool in the market. The one thing that distinguishes this product from its competitors is the ability to develop custom features for enterprise grade applications. It is highly adaptable and can be leveraged with other frameworks quite easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

There is a lesser documentation available on the internet for this tool. Also lots of time you will be doing custom development for which reference resources might be hard to find. Overall a good dedicated team to help you out with your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magnolia CMS is not so difficult to learn. The learning curve is not that high as long as you know the basics. I also like the multi-site setup that they have, it allows us as a developer and as a solutions provider to maintain all sites in one application only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?
