Mura Reviews & Product Details

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Onboarding team helps to make sure you know how to use the software and are set up for success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no outside Mura "how to" materials. If I have an issue, I have to go to support - the team is super helpful I just sometimes wish I could refer to materials for smaller questions rather than have to reach out to the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In our work every client needs a customised CMS, one that specifically performs the transactional integration that the business needs to operate ... whilst at the same time providing rock solid web content functionality. MuraCMS has been crafted to allow developers to leverage off a solid foundation using plugins. Mura's structure is elegant allowing complex web applications to be built on top of its already highly functional core. We also love Mura for its stability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little to call out about Mura. It's open source, has a strong community behind it and moves with the times. Yes, there's a learning curve to become expert in how to best customise output, use iterators effectively, but that's all worth it when applied across multiple business challenges. 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.

Мура нічого не важко використовувати і адаптувати. Я ціную роботу з нею тонну. У вас буде більшість апаратів, які вам можуть знадобитися, щоб максимально використати сайти, які ви повинні зробити для кожного клієнта. Фронтальні зміни та формати роблять його менш вимогливим, щоб отримати те, що вам потрібно від Мурa. Ви можете змінити все, як вам подобається, що є великим. Це також неймовірно стійкий, ніколи не розбитий. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Документація велика, але може бути краще. Визначення того, як виконувати деяку корисність часто вимагає просіювання через різні Як новий вихід з нового клієнта, я був в залежності від онлайнової документації і обговорення мережі google, щоб дізнатися, і я регулярно відчуваю труднощі знайти саме те, що Мені потрібно. Збори. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CMS made easy with a interface that’s simple and user design that makes maintenance straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much except the one time where we were launching something new onto the site and it was hours delayed in uploading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura is an extremely flexible CMS and easy to customize to individual client business requirements. Mura comes with at least 90% of what I need for most of the B2B websites I create for clients. Mura provides its tool set and gets out of the way allowing the developer to be creative in the way they solve client challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn't much to dislike, the documentation is solid and has been a focus for the Blue River team with recent releases. Occasionally there is something that seems to be missing or needs clarification and that is where the community comes in. The Blue River team, especially Matt, Steve W. and Michael E., are regularly seen jumping in to quickly help users when there are questions regarding implementation of the latest features or those on the bleeding edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura is great out of the box but it is also easily extendable. Even without code you can do a lot. With coding you do almost anything building off easy to use content management tool for even the most technically illiterate. You can even build an application in and language and call content through it's API. There has been nothing I couldn't make it do. It's even Docker/container ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Restricting content and managing users can be a little cumbersome, but it is a minor annoyance. However easily fixed by integrating with AD or Saml pretty easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura has core features that other CMS systems require extensive plugin installation to compare with, it's completely free, and also offers robust end-user training for those of us that are not technically savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficulty in finding pre-constructed themes like other CMS systems which requires extensive internal development of themes and customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The realistic finished results in order to people feel it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing specific, keep on growing and doing a good job! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works really well for me as a teacher to manage the classroom site in this technology age! In particular it is great how the website can be modified to display in different languages which is particularly useful for those EAL students and parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be challenging at first to use for the technology novice amongst us. I had to have lots of help from the IT guys at school to get it to do what I wanted. Though once it is on, it is a really smooth process! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura is very simple to use yet super powerful. The fact that we can use an unlimited number of sites with a single Mura installation is a must that allows us to host many language versions of the same site very easily.

What I like the most in Mura is the comprehensiveness of the feature set. It means that we need very few plugins (if any at all) to run exactly the site we need, which makes updating the system a breeze.

The front-end editing capabilities are of great help to author our pages and blog post directly in the context into which they will be viewed.

The content staging feature allows us to work on a set of pages and to test them out extensively before going live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura is written in CFML, which is both its strength and its weakness. CFML is one of the best language for developing a dynamic website, but the CFML community is quite small and the language adoption is far from doing justice to the awesomeness of the language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mura is simple and easy to use for all content editing and developing needs. You will have all of the tools that you might need in order to make the best out of the websites that you need to create for each client. Front-end editing and templates make it easier to get what you need from Mura. You can even get great results without necessarily being code-savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s not really much to dislike. If you come across any issues, the documentation and Support are always on hand to assist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of the programme that allows us to map our customer journeys through each service. Also the alert service that tells us when our performance isnt as it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as yet, keep up the good work... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm an experienced ColdFusion developer who was looking for a CMS that would support a fairly large site with a number of editors. I've been impressed with the ease of designing and developing the site, the tools for creating users and groups and assigning permissions, and the ease of integrating files into the overall site. We're developing a new site for the WAC Clearinghouse (https://wac.colostate.edu), which provides open-access publications such as books and scholarly journals. We have a few thousand PDF files. I was able to link to these files easily using some virtual directories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. It can be difficult to move from relying fully on CFML and scripting, but that's to be expected with a CMS. One great thing: I'm able to make calls to our databases (we use both MySQL and SQLServer) using display objects, which can be integrated easily into a page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoyed the easy-to-use interface and the ease of creating components. I found it easy to customize my pages and pull from my database using the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There wasn't anything in particular that stood out as a dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy and intuitive to use and build sites with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at the moment as it's early days Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easily allows for custom design and provides so much functionality built in where other CMSs need to install modules and plug-ins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to find Mura developers, even though ColdFusionML is a great language and Lucee is super, fast most people are not willing to learn ColdFusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
