Mura CMS Reviews & Product Details

Mura allows us to have a consistent overall theme for our entire site. We are able to selectively control access to certain web page areas for access to restricted data. We are able to set up specific web editors for all our department teams, who are assisted by our web support/webmaster team. the system allows us to ensure web accessibility compliance, be mobile-friendly, and arrange pages easily for clarity of the information presented to those accessing the pages.

There are a lot of features I need to learn to maintain my pages at a higher level of complexity. However, our 2 webmasters are able to show me how to perform those tasks whenever I need to arrange some additional training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The usability and easiness of using Mura CMS, as well as all the functionality that comes out-of-the-box. All of my clients that use Mura CMS to maintain their website have no issue getting used to the administrator interface and I therefor have very little work supporting them.

There is only a limited amount of themes and plugins available on the market. But since it's so easy to create your own or to convert an Bootstrap theme, you can get around this very easily. The same counts for the plugins. Nearly everything you might need is already available out-of-the-box and if not, Mura CMS is easily extendable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura CMS provides superior customization and flexibility in website design & development and integrates well with other platforms so you really do have complete control over the entire website experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to have more detailed documentation in some specific instances, but Mura Support is excellent. Our organization is very pleased with their product and will be using Mura for many years to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MURA is highly customizable CMS, although a strong knowledge of HTML, CSS, and ColdFusion is beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of quality plugins can be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura CMS has a great feature set and is very easy to customize to meet site requirements. It has a long history and is about to release version 7. The development team behind the product is fantastic and eager to help potential developers and users of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As it is CFML-based, it does not have the adoption rate of some other CMS's available. This limits the plugins that exist in the wild when compared to other platforms such as Wordpress and Drupal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a marketing professional, I want a website that looks clean, user-friendly and professional. However, I don't want to spend time on coding or development. Mura removes the burden of learning the technical skills and allows me to focus on what I do best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would've liked if there were help resources available: tutorials, tips for optimization, best practices, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stability and performance are usually top notch. Ease of use is also high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new licensing model makes it impossible to maintain, moving from open source to a very steep licensing model forces us to rebuild our running sites on a different CMS and spending quite a bit of money on the migration as we cannot offer our customers a CMS that doesn't get security updates anymore Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The things I like about this program is that is a versatile tool for content management solution and a cloud-based web hosting with providers like Amazon ready to be used right out of the box, allowing small and large industries to use it for running and manage websites without any issues. It offers a centralized platform for users to automate events, tasks, it has a safe development environment allowing the user to make quick fixes, improvements of functionalities and daily backups of the website.

There are not many bad things you can say about the software, it is very intuitive and easy to understand and quickly jump into it, ion top of that it provides not only a solution for web hosting but as an educational and training platform for web developers. But like any cloud hosting-based software, they present their limitations in terms of the resources present in the purchased plan you choose. Customization is somewhat limited since you don't have an extensive palette of templates, at least for the basic plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura has allowed us to quickly update content on the fly and build new pages in hours instead of weeks. One thing that my team enjoys using is the change-set feature. This has allowed us to create temporary changes to the website that are easy to roll-back. It seems the sky is the limit with Mura in terms of your creativity and your vision.

Our implementation was bumpy as we transitioned from our old platforms to Mura. We made our deadline but my team had to put in a lot of extra work that we were not planning on to get there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to customize Mura to fit the needs of your company. You can easily extend or connect it to an external API to render pages based on the result of an AJAX request. I was very surprised I could do that and pair it with query strings to get exactly what you want displayed on a page an it took me only one afternoon to accomplish. Also, the fact that I can put cfml code in my templates is simply awesome. I am not a Cold Fusion developer, but I got that done pretty fast. Mura's SEO capability is also pretty good. I got a customer's site to easily show on first in all search engines using the SEO stuff in Mura. Good work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The text editor has been improved a lot, but CK Editor already had its days. It would be great to switch to something that's React based. I would also love to have database bindings for SQLite. I also still can't figure out how to use Mura's API features to return the page body using an AJAX request. I wish there was a feature that allowed me to embed components into a theme. The only way to do this now is probably with a site bundle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
