We use MURA for all of our websites and have been very pleased with it. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Susan L. | Application Developer, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** MURA is extremely flexible, allows for extensive customization and is easy for less technical savvy users to use. With many of our pages data driven, we have leveraged MURA's ability to customize pages to streamline data display for hundreds of pages, each set with unique requirements. We have not yet found something a user requested that we were unable to do. With the ability to customize the administration screens for the user we have created functionality such as cloning pages that make the end users job faster and simpler. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** There really is not much I don't like. We are extremely happy with this product. It is a learning curve to first learn it, but once you figure it out is is easy to use.. I do wish there was more extensive documentation on how to do things, but I believe they are working on this. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** I highly recommend this product **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** With 60 - 80 programs per term and 3 terms per year, we have hundreds of unique, but often similar, program pages. Each set of program pages might have slightly different content and slightly different data , we were able to build a cloning functionality to build out new terms, allow editing of content on one page to be cloned to other pages as selected. Additionally, any of our other pages are data driven search's and it was quite easy to set these up in MURA. The amount of work it takes to maintain all of these pages has been significantly reduced. **Official Response from Sean Schroeder:** > Hi Susan, Thank you for the great review! We are indeed working on documentation and that is a big priority for us moving forward. Stay tuned! ### 2. Powerfull CMS for large, medium or even small websites **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tom S. | Web Engineer, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** I liked the fact that Mura can be used as a full-blown enterprise CMS as well as a CMS for small websites. You can disable or hide some features for your users or content managers that you don't need, this way you can create a 'light' admin UI for users that doesn't need all bells and whistles. In addition to many features that Mura already offers, I like the "one-click" update button to stay up-to-date with the latest version. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Maybe the fact that there aren't a lot of plugins available can be a disadvantage for decision makers but Mura has a lot of functionality built-in compared to some other content management systems that require a lot of plugins to get the same functionality that Mura offers out of the box. Maybe one plugin that I'm missing is an easy-to-use 'light' eCommerce solution. A lot of plugins can also have a drawback if you want to stay up-to-date with the latest version of your CMS. A bunch of plugins can be deprecated or aren't compatible with the latest version of your CMS so you have to stick with the current version of your CMS or search for alternative plugins. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a senior CFML developer I was looking for a CFML based open source CMS for a large university college website and intranet website. Mura fits in for all kinds of websites, I have used Mura for small 'one-page' websites as well as large multilingual websites (which requires the free multilingual plugin). **Official Response from Sean Schroeder:** > Tom, thank you very much for the review! Appreciated! ### 3. 6-Year Mura User **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jim H. | President/CEO, E-Learning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** Mura is amazing at creating modern digital websites quickly. I have created specific-purpose websites in a matter of hours using responsive themes. On the other end of the spectrum, Mura is highly customizable. The class extension manager allows you to create forms with any feature you can imagine. You can then power those features further by adding CFML. I am not a programmer and can extend Mura's powerful out-of-the-box features quite easily. Beyond web sites, Mura is what I use as the CMS under my modern web app development. I like to combine MEAN stack-style functionality to Mura CMS. As a 30-year veteran of the tech game, I find the fact that Mura is offered for free to be quite mind-boggling. I would have killed for this amazing mix of features, extensibility and reliability decades ago. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** As a non-programmer, setting up Mura is difficult for me. I tend to rely on Mura webhosts to get all the settings correct. I find setting up a local dev box time consuming. I'm also disappointed the Mura community has not grown faster over the last 6 years. It deserves a wider audience. I think that if Angular or ReactJS replaced jQuery as the base JS library/framework, it might get more attention. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Highly recommend this software if you need to build websites quickly. You do not need to know programming. If you are a novice, have a webhost set up a site instance for you. I recommend Go West Hosting. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Mura for websites that serve up training professional development. I have added custom training widgets to the Mura framework in order to use it as a learning content management system (LCMS). ### 4. Mura CMS-flexible, adaptable right out of box **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steven H. | Manager, Systems Team, Education Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** From a support point of view, we have almost no calls from our end-users. Their ability to pick up the product immediately was a huge plus. The development team helped us roll out integration with LDAP and we were good to go from there. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Even though I'm an avid ColdFuser, there are some limits to the amount of plug-ins available when compared with some other packages or languages. I had a harder learning curve initially when writing customizations, but once the initial curve was done I haven't had any issues. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** I would highly recommend it. The development staff has been great to work with whenever we've had a need to write a custom or required any style of support. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have our intranet based exclusively on Mura and have been using one version or another for several years. Good feedback from all involved. Have different sites broken out for various user groups and have had no problem with maintenance. ### 5. Mura - so you don't have to reinvent the wheel **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marc F. | Owner, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** ColdFusion developers are used to solving business problems. But the mundane basics - page creation, user management, plugin/modular approach, end up being slighly skewed with every project, and a new idea in one project ends up difficult to implement in a project you worked on a year or two ago. Enter Mura - a great starting point for EVERY project. With a wide variety of visual templates in both Bootstrap and Foundation to start with, your project starts out looking good. With a wide variety of time-tested features already in place, you can get to work on the customization, since you already have the basics available. And retrofit your new customizations back into prior projects through the plugin architecture... offer old clients new features without having to deal with the specifics of their project from "way back when." Get more done with less code. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Mura 7 is the latest version as of this review, and since we're on the bleeding edge using the Release Candidate, the documentation is still being updated, and bugs are being found and fixed at a rapid pace. The documentation for older versions is laid out in a way that is non-intuitive (is what i'm looking for going to be found in the "for back end developers" or "front end developers" or "content managers" section?) but this is made up for with the community support via the Google Groups. There's a learning curve, no doubt, but if you already know ColdFusion, you'll be just fine. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Do your homework, start with a small project, and learn what Bootstrap and/or Foundation front end frameworks offer. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** A wide variety of business problems, from basic websites through to fully realized custom internet and extranet projects. Main benefits are the continued use of a RAD language that I already know, combined with having a very mature and stable starting point for every new project... and getting more done in less time. ### 6. My preferred CMS platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nolan E. | Sole Proprietor, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** Super easy to customize and very responsive support when I post in the forum. As a consultant I try to be objective and pick the right tool for the job. When clients need a CMS I recommend Mura more often than any other CMS solution. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** The number of plugins is currently lower than other platforms but that is growing. The methodology for building plugins is extremely flexible (I can pick any MVC framework I want, or go without one entirely) making the learning curve very low. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm porting my older client websites that are "legacy codebases" over to Mura CMS, so everything is standardized. This increases my pool of subcontractors, and makes my team more efficient overall. We're able to share code among projects much more easily and can complete projects more quickly. **Official Response from Sean Schroeder:** > Thank you, Nolan! Greatly appreciated! ### 7. New User **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2017 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** The technical support and creative thinking to achieve the goal. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** It can be challenging using some of the older versions to easily create features that are pretty standard today. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Event details and easy for the user to find and utilize. ### 8. New to Mura **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** I am very new to Mura and have only been using it for the past few months. I still have a lot to learn, but so far I like that this CMS is a true CMS and not just a blogging platform. There are a lot of powerful personalization capabilities and it doesn't seem to be difficult for non-tech users to navigate. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** The Mura community is a bit small and it would be nice if the the online documentation was more detailed (granted there is already a lot of Mura docs available, but it is still very difficult to find what I need and often the docs don't have the answer) . As a brand new user, I've been relying on the online documentation and community google forums in order to learn, and I often end up having trouble finding exactly what I need. The admin interface also feels outdated, and there is a shortage of well designed templates. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** If you are looking for a CFML based CMS then Mura would be a good option. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Mura to build and design custom websites for both for-profit and non-profit clients. I am still unsure of the benefits Mura has compared to other CMS. **Official Response from Sean Schroeder:** > Hi there, Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review. We understand your concerns and have taken steps to improve 2 out of 3, the Admin UI and the Docs. In fact, if you update to the latest version of Mura (released since you wrote this review), Mura 7, you'll find a completely redesigned admin. We hope you find it to be an improvement. As for docs, we are in the process a completely re-doing them completely. In addition, we'll be supplementing the docs with blog posts to illustrate how to do a variety of things in Mura. Please let us know if there is anything you'd like to see. Again, thanks for taking the time. We appreciate the feedback. ### 9. Flexible CMS with frequent updates **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan B. | Lead Developer and Software Architect, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** Really easy to build plugins when needed and theming makes customizations easy. Also site bundles and site-copying makes it easy to setup template websites to use as boiler plates for new customer sites.. Also multi-site tenancy in one instance is really great. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** The API could use a little more online documentation, but I've found you can often just look at the source code to solve most questions. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Look around for bundles that people have made available which allow you deploy a site which is preconfigured. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** One customer I have is an international fanclub stie, with many child / chapter sites. Mura makes it super easy to spin up chapter sites as those chapters come online. ### 10. Mura is great. A robust CMS that allows for custom solutions with an easy to manage admin. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2017 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** I like the admin the best. Our clients love how easy it is to manage their websites! **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** It's not a very well known CMS so there is always an education with clients on what it is and why it's as great as wordpress. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are trying to offer custom website solutions on an easy to use, intuitive CMS. ### 11. Robust, Powerful, Customizable **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dave H. | Web Ninja, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** Mura allows us to have a standard framework to prop up a site easily, and between themes, templates, and components, make a site to the exact customer specifications. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Sometimes our users get themselves into trouble with so many customizable options laying around. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** if your specs are cms & coldfusion, it's the best out there. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Have a generic, updatable codebase to initialize a site with cms capabilities. ### 12. Versatile Platform for Many Levels of Web Development **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Juan A. | Director of Technologies, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** The Mura CMS has out of the box functionality that makes it easy to start with content management. I have used it for traditional content sites and as the backbone of more complex products, too. I like that it is so versatile. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Documentation is good but could be better. Learning to implement some functionality often requires combing through Google Groups. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Deployment is easy. Customization takes more work. I would recommend a sample deployment first to gain comfort and familiarity with the product. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have deployed Mura to support multiple web sites, a complex e-commerce site, and a Human Resources application. It has been very fast and stable. The plug in architecture has allowed me to easily add features. ### 13. Mura for Government for nearly 10 years **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen Stick H. | Administrative Services Programmer Analyst, Government Administration, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** Everything is included. Many comparable CMSs require plugins and/or customizations to match the functionality of Mura. Our county reviewed 8+ CMSs ranging from open source to $20,000 a year contracts and Mura beat out the competition hands down. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** For Government it does everything we need it to do and more. On a personal level I would like to have closer integrations with social networks, instead of relying on the widgets of the social networks. The other "nice" functionality would be document management with full file search and in browser rendering of files. This partly can be completed with custom code, but it being integrated would help us eliminate the use of Alfresco. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** The initial reservation I run into; "it is written on ColdFusion, we don't know ColdFusion." Being written with ColdFusion it is generally the first hurdle. Most IT shops are asp or .net based. Though I am no advanced ColdFusion developer I have managed to take our country's websites from a handful to 100+ and I have done this pretty much alaone. It took 2-3 asp/net programmers to manage a handful of sites. Anyone that knows that this is largely b/c ColdFusion is so much faster to develop on... But when it comes to Mura... It is just so easy to manage multiple installs and sites on installs. I tell people to just try it, give it a shot, you won't regret it. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps up provide 100+ websites (external and internal). It allows departments to provide online forms and up-to-date information. With custom coding we have have been able to quickly deploy tax bill lookups, animal adoptions, and tracking systems. **Official Response from Sean Schroeder:** > Stephen, thank you very much for the kind words. We appreciate your support and taking the time to share your feedback. Thank you! ### 14. A feature rich CFML CMS backed by a great team **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** Mura is a full featured CMS, which is to say, it can handle the complexity of enterprise level websites. From user permissions to a custom page types, contact forms, multiple site administration, etc. It's modern, extendable, and has a really responsive team behind it. It's CFML based, which might be a negative for PHP developers, but is a fantastic for CFML teams, because you can customize and extend it as needed. I also like that it is a mature product that is still under active development. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Disclaimer; Users of the CMS would likely not experience these as issues; this is more from a developer perspective. While reviewing the code, to see if we would be utilizing it internally, there were some design decisions, both on the front and back end, that we found questionable. Additionally, like a lot of older, full-featured content management systems that were designed to handle a wide-range of use cases, the code felt bloated in places. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Unless you have experienced CFML developers on your team, make sure that you work with the BlueRiver team. They can provide excellent support and guidance. It's a great product; superior in many ways to Drupal, Joomla, Concrete5, and Wordpress. More features out of the box, nicer interface, great team behind it. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were looking for a full featured, customizable, CFML based content management system (CMS). The end goal was building and supporting a fast, modern website, and making it easy for our content/non-tech team to manage the site. While we ended up going in a different direction (custom, in-house CMS), Mura certainly does fit that description. It's a fantastic product. ### 15. MURA Content Management System **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** I like the way Mura is easy customizable and the capability to add your own custom application. I have been training our employees to update the website content. These employees are not web savvy and have had numerous comments about how mura is easy to use. Adding users and maintaining permissions is a breeze! I love the ability to add global components. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** I do not like the hover over zoom option always popping up and staying on the screen. It interferes with navigating the system. I also wish there was a way to delete multiple objects with a checkbox select option. I wish we had more options in adding navigation. Right now we have a persistent plugin for navigation and I am having problems ordering that persistent navigation, it only orders in the way that you add it into the system. I also wish they had more supporting documentation. I wish there was a way to manage the search as an admin. I have pages showing up even tho I have indicated them not to display in the search. I wish I could rank the results as an admin to show either highlighted content or more relevant content. I wish I could see more recent content that was update other than just the 5 items that appear on the sidebar on the dashboard. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a decent size site for a community college and my time was taken up by updating and maintaining web content. Now that we have a true content management system my time has been freeing up to working on developing and enhancing features on our site. ### 16. My Top Tool for Web Development **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sam S. | Information Technology Specialist V, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** Mura provides me a platform where 90% of my work is already done before I ever get started! **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** There is not much to dislike. Sure, not everyone codes in CFML, but what little coding I actually have to do is front end related and it is easy to pickup. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I provide websites (45) for a large college at a major SEC university. Mura makes my work easy and saves so much time. The better I know my tool, the better I can do my work. Content is available across all sites. Changes to look and feel are easily propagated across all sites. ### 17. A good cms for marketing manager **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2017 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** The simplicity of building a mura page or forms or some other content with drag and drop UI make life a lot easier. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** The documentation is confusing and should be better organized. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm managing a network of 10 sites with less efforts then before. I really love the multisite option in Mura that let me manage every single site form one backend, I can share object between sites and Ii have less passwsord to remember. Also I need to manage one single database. ### 18. Installed many instances of Mura and developed plugins for Mura using ColdFusion **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Seth J. | Lead Developer, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** It's very easy to install and get up and running, especially if your hosting company offers a one-click install option. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Sometimes when upgrading from one version to another there are glitches. As with any CMS, you should backup the site files and database prior to performing an upgrade. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Try it, you'll like it. It's super easy to install and has alot of feature built-in. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Mura and Mura plugins to run online conference attendee and vendor registration. **Official Response from Sean Schroeder:** > Thank you, Seth! ### 19. Mura - Feature Rich Mature CMS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** Community - both Blue River and the developer community are great at responding with complete answers. Documentation - Breadth of documentation Simplicity - to get it spun up is easy and adding content is even easier. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Documentation - System is documented well, although to a degree you must know what your looking for most cases which is not always the case. E.G. How do insert something in what would be normally associated with onRequestStarart(). You need understand the evenhandler and the possible methods that can be added. So figuring it in the docs is a little difficult without the first piece. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Without a doubt the easiest way to spin up a out of the box feature rich mature CMS that can implement the simplest to the most complex web application features. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wanted to tak developers out of the process when adding "static content", there by saving their cycles for bigger and better tasks ### 20. Excellent and Robust Content Management System **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Clinton H. | Senior Application Developer / Network Administrator, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** It's very easy to use and very easy to develop for should you feel the need. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** The number of redundant files that are created every time you create a new site. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Go for it! Its a great platform with a great community behind it. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it to host websites for many of our clients. It provides a very good interface for a multi-tenant CMS. ### 21. Excellent extensibility built into Mura 7 that I have taken advantage of time and time again. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel B. | Sr Programmer & Project Manager, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** The plugins and easy extensibility of the built in Mura objects. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** Documentation could use to be improved so that it is categorized what is applicable to which version of Mura and there needs to be more documentation in many instances. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had an aging CMS with no community behind it, so switching to Mura 7 got us into a product that is updated regularly and has a community of users and programmers behind it. ### 22. Mura is a powerful, intuitive, and extensible CMS worthy of use in projects small to large. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle S. | President, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** The customizability of Mura is great for digging deep on complication implementations. **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** The are where Mura is lacking is in availability of templates in comparison to other, more well-known systems. **Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:** Mura is excellent - you won't regret choosing it for your next CMS implementation! **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mura has provided me with a great set of tools to set up and manage my own company's marketing sites as well as sites for my clients. ### 23. The right solution for our needs. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sean W. | Business Administration Manager, Government Administration, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Mura CMS?** The administrative user interface and the flexibility of template design. The user of Bootstrap for its theme and administration interface although you are not required to use bootstrap for your templates **What do you dislike about Mura CMS?** We would like to have the option to publish a static version of our website or at least a hybrid version of it,. **What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Content providers have a relative easy way to keep their content updated with involving IT. **Official Response from Sean Schroeder:** > Thank you, Sean! Your feedback is appreciated! I know you're familiar with the static file generation feature, but if you've found it lacking for your needs, we'd love to hear about it. Thanks! ### 24.
