All in one CMS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Museums and Institutions | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** TYPO3 delivers, out of the box, all the essential features you’d expect from a modern CMS: content elements, a form builder, multilingual and multisite support, user and role management, a hierarchical sites and pages tree, high performance, and long-term stability—just to name a few. These capabilities are not third-party add-ons but core, built-in modules. In addition, TYPO3 includes its own internal PHP framework that allows developers to build extensions in a consistent and unified way. This architecture ensures better compatibility and performance, even when numerous extensions are installed. It leverages technologies like the Doctrine ORM, Symfony’s routing component, and adheres to most PSR standards, that make it comfortable for developers. In short, TYPO3 is more than just a CMS—it’s a full-fledged PHP framework with a modular and extensible backend. It has strong foundations and encourages best practices throughout, making it a solid choice for both beginners and experienced developers alike. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** At first glance, TYPO3 can sometimes feel complex, and certain solutions may seem difficult to implement. However, in most cases, this complexity arises when attempting to take shortcuts or apply bad practices. TYPO3 enforces structure and encourages doing things the right way—which can be frustrating for some, but rewarding for those who embrace it. That’s exactly why TYPO3 has both passionate critics… and devoted fans. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** Better to use this for huge projects only **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intranets, Large websites with a lot of contributer and/or frontend users, Small website when Wordpress getting too much expensive or inefficient. When I'm too lazy to build something from scratch with Symfony. ### 2. Active community as important support resources **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Peerawid N. | Principal Project Manager, Consumer Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2024 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** The sheer versatility of TYPO3 enables me to create intricate websites with specific functionalities and applications that might not be achievable with additional restrictions of a CMS. The open-source nature also helps minimize costs. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** The level of detail is helpful for security purposes, but it creates a problem that arises from having multiple levels of editors and contributors where it is hard to set up their access levels. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** With TYPO3 at my disposal I have been able to craft some rather nifty and distinct websites for my clientele to enjoy. This enables me to modify the CMS to suit their requirements, and also the open-source option is ideal to its current available budget. ### 3.

Yes, it's complex. That's a good thing! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christian R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** TYPO3 is a content management framework that can be anything you want it to be. I've been using it for tiny non-profit organizations and for SMEs with one editor who has no IT knowledge whatsoever. I've also been using it for a multinational site with editors from different countries and languages ranging from Arabic to Chinese. I've been using it as a web frontend for database applications. TYPO3 is really, really, REALLY versatile. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** You can configure TYPO3 in a way that your editors will find it much(!) simpler to use than other CMSs (I'm looking at you, Wordpress!). Due to TYPO3's immense configurability, however, such a simplification can be cumbersome. It would be nice to start with a predefined "simplified setting" directly built into the TYPO3 core (as opposed to a site package). This would make basic setups simpler. And you could work your way up to more complex scenarios from there, rather than the other way around. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** If you have have a project that's not "of-the-shelf", then TYPO3 is for you! If you only need one single-language, single-domain and a-couple-of-pages website, then don't bother with it. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** - one-page "business card" for the web, that's client-editable (I'll admit that's a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but still ...) - multi-language and multi-domain websites - website with an associated webshop - websites with blogs - web frontend for own database applications - workflow and approval processes (editors, editors-in-chief, translators) - access control where different elements of the site are visible for the general public, for registered users or only for (paying) clients only ### 7. Really the best CMS to create enterprise websites **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Richard H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** TYPO3 is a CMS that gives you the ability to create enterprise websites as well as websites for your local soccer-club. As things like stability, performance and security are topics already covered by the core and the community, everyone who uses TYPO3 will benefit from that. Not only the big enterprises. With a very active and helpful community, I really like this product and if I want to build a website that needs content management it is for sure my number 1 solution! **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** The downside of TYPO3 is that compared to CMSes like WordPress, it is used way less as it as those other CMSes. TYPO3 has a history of being complicated. Although that isn't the case anymore for several years, it still doesn't have the same adoption rate. This results into having less agencies working with TYPO3. So it might be that you only can choose from a couple of agencies in your country. But luckily TYPO3 is global and I'm sure if more people start asking for TYPO3, more agencies will start adopting it. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** Ask your agencies about the possibility of TYPO3 or checkout typo3.com for more information about the product. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** TYPO3 is the main CMS we use to create rich content platforms. Multiple sites, multiple languages and a lot of editors in just 1 installation is just business as normal. But also for small marketing campaign websites we use TYPO3. With TYPO3 it is easy to reuse features and makes it easy to be up and running quite fast. ### 8. The best CMS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Calin B. | Team Leader - Project Manager - Certified TYPO3 Integrator , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** With TYPO3 I made several hundred sites. From simple presentation sites to sites with high complexity. I also did for Universities with intranet, and for transport companies. It is easy to scale and uses the latest technical elements to develop a site. We have also developed multiroot websites for many domains. there is no point in proposing something to you and you cannot achieve with these powerful CMS. Responsive and on the admin side and SEO ready. A very good choice. The best! **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** There aren't things I don't like, but a solid online shop solution, maintained by the TYPO3 Association, would be welcome, so that we can rely on a supported and easy to implement solution. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** Powerful, scalable, multilanguage, granular user rights, multiroot, multidoamin, SEO ready, all the features you need **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** I managed to implement as I mentioned above complex sites, for online ads, course planning, intranet, etc. I have been working with this CMS for many years and have developed many websites. In 2010 I also took TYPO3 Implementation Certified on V4.5, but since then I work with TYPO3 every day at the office for the clients of the company. I am also the Team Leader and Project Manager of the team within the company. ### 9. One of the top FOSS CMS projects of all time **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert D. | Artist Manager and Recording Producer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** With TYPO3 you get a mature product that has served business-critical cases for over a decade. You also get a living, breathing, modern system that has remained vital for a long time. You also get a dedicated community and ecosystem that is not tied to a single vendor. It's really a thing of beauty. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** A lot of the activity around TYPO3 is centered in Germany, which means that non-germans will have to work harder to find local resources, like user meetups. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** TYPO3 is really great for professional, maintainable, well performing websites that have clear navigation structures, and adhere to your company's branding and content workflows. ### 10. Perfect CMS for all the web development need. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mrudang S. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** Before i start working in Typo3 i have an experience of other CMS also. But after making my hands dirty in Typo3 i come to know that it is really great CMS to complete all your needs. It’s multi domain functionality is awesome. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** There is no such down side that i come across while using Typo3. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** Just install it and see the magic what Typo3 can do. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** To create a multi domain website is just classic feature of Typo3. Also managing a number of pages with fluid content is awesome ### 11. Best CMS for Enterprise Application **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nageshwar J. | Application Developer Senior Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** TYPO3 is one of the best for Large Scale Enterprise Application which you can trust on, I really like in TYPO3 that it doesn't have any limit to extend it and you can achieve anything and everything with this. So, overall my experience is really great with TYPO3. I will surely suggest go for it atleast once. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** The only thing which I don't like is you have to keep maintaining but it is good to get all security issues fixed. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** If you have big plans to expand, go with TYPO3 **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** You can solve all your problems whichever way you want you can extend and use it. ### 12. A CMS with great possibilities - if you are up for a steep learning curve **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** The fact that TYPO3 and many extensions are OpenSource. Great possibilities expandability, security. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** Hard to configure and to expand, no official template scheme. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** Offer easier and more possibilities to edit the backend. Some add-ons should come out of the box and could be disabled if not needed. That would faster than extending the backend each time yourself. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Role and user rights management. ### 13. Steepest Learning Curve **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** Best for a large enterprise site with many pages. For a large organization with a dedicated IT/Development team it is a good choice. It can support multiple sites very easily. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** The learning curve is very steep. Of the various CMS I have tried Typo3 was the most difficult to learn and teach. With a smaller, mostly European community there are probably other applications that would suit small to mid-size organizations better. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** I actually no longer use it having switched to another CMS some years ago because of the development issues. ### 14. TYPO3 Avoid it if you can! **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** Typoscript. A configuration language is a great idea in principle - just not very easy to use. At all. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** Pretty much everything. The backend layout is ugly and cluttered. Building the site is difficult and inflexible and the documentation is pretty much non existent. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** Use Laravel instead. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not solving any problems with it. I don't find it intuitive enough to reach for at any juncture. The single advantage it can have is a layer of typoscript as a configuration layer with a great deal of control over elements invoved in the site but it's not straightforward or very logical, so it's not my first choice to solve problems with this technnology. ### 15. Good Framework for content management **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sanjun Dev K. | Senior Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** Typo3 supports the custom components creation it really help me alot to make our customers easy to manage their elements with their own. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** Typo3 is good framework and strong, but it is not easy to lear cause by the lack of documentation and community helpsl **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** Use the latest release always it is have a lot if changes from others and need to be understood more **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Typo3.helps me to build better websites which is reusable ### 16. Good open source CMS to use once it is setup. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pooja L. | Senior Account Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** Can maintain a website without knowing the HTML or CSS or any other programming skills. Has lots of supported extensions to build a beautiful site. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** The Initial setup is very hard. Downloading,integrating, verification everything is not at all easy even for programmers. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** If one is ood at coding and have a Patience to wait until setting up the CMS, it's good to consider. But there are popular and better alternatives like WordPress. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Just like WordPress the CMS is free of cost which is an added benifit. Can manage back end users, create different kinds of websites like blog/e-commerce. SEO options are good. ### 17. Flexibility with a price tag **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2020 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** You can do a lot without 3rd party plugins **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** Steep learning curve and painful updates **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Large and complex sites are no problem with TYPO3 ### 18.

Its great that I can use it anywhere and set it up from wherever I am on my current systems. I like that the level of user engagement has seen a rise, and I love how fast it is. Vibrant professional community backed by a strong commercial ecosystem. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** I don't like the way it looks. I feel like it could be a little more user friendly in its design and could be slightly more updated for the current times and userbase. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** If you are looking for a free alternative to wordpress, and want to try something new, id give this a chance. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am currently solving the problem of being able to use my content management system wherever i want. That is the benefit that I have realized. ### 20. It’s been around. If you used it in the past, give it a second look **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Darian R. | Senior Designer Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2019 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** TYPO3 has been around for a long time. In a world where products are coming and going and the trends change it is nice to know that some products are around forever. TYPO3 is flexible and free. It’s powerful and has great potential to fill the gaps where many products have holes. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** TYPO3 has a bit of a learning curve and while it does offer great power and flexibility it can be a chore at times, to no particular fault of its own, but due to the nature of getting two systems to meet in the middle of a third. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tupo3 works well for quick publishing of digital content across a vast array of mediums because it offers so much flexibility. It works for support, marketing, and internal projects as well. ### 21. GREAT TOOL! LOVE IT AND NEED MORE OF IT! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin C. | GREATNESS, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2019 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** The ability to access and manage the many different contents around the work platform.

Anyone that isn't afraid to click and drag, experiment, or try new solutions will be more than happy with Typo3. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** Sometimes plug-ins, like the one for MailChimp, do not work or sync correctly. This has caused us to have to develop our forms using custom HTML creating far more work than we intended. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a better solution to maintaining our very expansive website, we found that with Typo3 we could easily manage add/delete users while only allowing them certain permissions to help maintain the site. ### 23. Good desktop experience, poor mobile experience **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Allen N. | Senior Review Editor, Media Production, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2018 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** The left column of tools make it easy to navigate while the search feature is extremely helpful for jumping straight to the page i need. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** the mobile experience on smartphone and tablets is extremely poor. Making one or two small edits can take minutes on a smartphone compared to seconds on a desktop. A proper Android/iOS app would go a long way to making Typo3 more productive for its users. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** Try out WordPress before diving into Typo3. There are definite pros and cons to each **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** we use Typo3 to power our 12 year old frontend website. All pages, plugins, articles, ads, images, and tools have been created using Typo3. ### 24.

Navigating the website is great when using the search bar. It's fast to use since updates have happened **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** There's a learning curve you have to adjust to when using.

TYPO3 is professional equipment you will enjoy very much after a steep learning curve. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ronald W. | Secretaris / penningmeester, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2017 **What do you like best about TYPO3?** This is professional software, used by local governments, universities, German premier league football, airlines, broadcasting stations, national tax institution and many more. The community is vibrant, the software is very much focused on compliance with current standards (MVC / , DDD / Domain driven design, security). In fact, Dutch national signin with social security number (SSN) was built with this software (www.digid.nl). It is also very fast because of the extensive caching. **What do you dislike about TYPO3?** The learning curve is steep. And because of the continuous adaptation to the newest standards, it's like every 18 months you need to learn a new language. That is, if you stick to the basics, most is downwards compatible, but most extensions need at least a review, and probably a large amount of reprogramming to meet with standards. **Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:** If your audience is high-volume, or security demanding, or - once you get it to work - still working like a charm for the next 10 years ... then this is for you. Building a quick and dirty website, with a new design for every page, isn't going to help. Think of extensions (about 2,000) as a building block, for most use cases you can find several extensions that will help you with pretty much all business cases. **What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Websites. Webshops. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Hotel bookings. Training courses. iDEAL payment integration. SME administration. Camper rental services. Author's list of articles for download. Food community membership registration, coupons for members, yearly overview of member's capital deposits with the community. ### 35.
