"So far the great CMS I have seen!"
5/5
What do you like best about PHP-Nuke?

Basically I like its User Interface and the most useful feature is to use it to GUI. It's easy to use and the most helpful feature of it is you don’t need deep programming language and with it you can easily create webpages with PHP-Nuke. I like the combination of PHP and MySQL and most likely the admin panel which shows me how to do what! Every CMS has a weak point but it has nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PHP-Nuke?

If I say in the point of security it has weak and vulnerable security point. For example, you can become the admin of the script you code. And it has very limited interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
