They try to make the interface simple, it is indeed very clean, there are just 6 or 7 menu items for you to deal with Inline editing is very nice and efficient The setup tutorial is very helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCms? Options and customization is very lacking Not much community support, templates, customization Limited feature set Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenCms: I'd suggest another full-featured alternative that also has a simple interface. I never had complaints with Joomla on that front.
