GB Gabriel B. Creative Associate Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/18/2026 "Flexible, User-Friendly CMS That Helps Our Team Publish Content Fast" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Umbraco? I really like the flexibility Umbraco has a CMS compared to other options on the market. The UI/UX is easy enough for technophobes to understand while having more advanced areas - in how content and models are made for example - for web designers / programmers. We're a content heavy business and its been great that a variety of staff are able to get content up quickly without much leg work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Umbraco? Umbraco has some great modules you can use for forms, commerce etc. I would say the price point on these can be a little high - especially if team members like the idea but are not 100% sure of how the end result will look. Perhaps better trials / demos that can be shown to stakeholders would help here before pushing the button to buy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you? Bridge Command is a theatrical experience that requires content like new shows / new actors etc to be put up quickly and easily. Umbraco really helps us to get this benefit with a variety of staff skills in web editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Flexible CMS That Scales with Business Needs" 5/5 What do you like best about Umbraco? I've been using Umbraco for several years, and what I like most is the balance between flexibility for developers and ease of use for content editors. Editors can update content without needing much help, and as a developer, I have the freedom to build custom solutions without feeling limited by the CMS. Umbraco Cloud has made deployments much smoother and saves us a lot of time when managing different environments. We also use Umbraco Engage, which helps us better understand user behavior and create more personalized experiences for our clients. The newer AI features and MCP support are a nice addition and have started making some everyday tasks faster. I also like how easy it is to integrate Umbraco with other systems and APIs, which is something we do on almost every project. Performance has been solid, even on larger websites, and the platform has been reliable. Whenever I've had questions, the documentation and the Umbraco community have been really helpful. There's almost always someone willing to help or share a solution. Overall, Umbraco has become my preferred CMS because it's reliable, modern, and gives us everything we need to build and maintain websites efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Umbraco? One area that could be improved is the pricing model for Umbraco Engage. Some clients only need specific features, but they currently have to pay for the full product. It would be great if Engage offered more flexible pricing, allowing customers to choose only the features they need and pay accordingly. I've also noticed that more clients are asking for personalization and audience segmentation. Making these capabilities more accessible through flexible plans would help more businesses adopt Engage without the higher upfront cost. Other than that, I haven't encountered any major issues. Overall, I've had a very positive experience with Umbraco. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you? One of the biggest problems Umbraco has solved for us is managing content from multiple systems. In one of our recent projects, the client was using three different content platforms. Managing content across all of them was time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult for the content team. We migrated everything into a single Umbraco solution. Now the client manages all their content from one place, which has simplified their workflow, reduced maintenance, and made training much easier for their editors. From a development perspective, Umbraco's flexibility has also helped us build custom features and integrate with other business systems without being limited by the CMS. Combined with Umbraco Cloud, deployments and content synchronization are much smoother, allowing us to deliver updates faster and with fewer issues. Overall, Umbraco has helped us reduce complexity, improve the editor experience, and deliver projects more efficiently while lowering the ongoing maintenance effort for our clients.

Easy to design and very user-friendly. No code is needed, and everything is in one place, so there’s no real need for tutorials. it integrates perfect - we are using vimeo as an example. The website is performing well - just launched it. Price is within budget. we got our external company to onboard us but htey a´have shown us where to easily find assitance if needed.

Umbraco has a lot of helpful features, and overall it's easy to use. The system that are web team has set up to use drop down menus and other easily customizable features for setting up our weekly newsletter has been an absolute game changer for that process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Umbraco? There's a pretty steep learning curve in some places, especially things that I don't use every day. The search functionality for finding and selecting previous content doesn't do the best job at actually providing the most relevant results, particularly when more than one word is used (pulls old stories or stories that don't actually have the searched words) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you? Even though working in Umbraco doesn't make up a significant portion of my job, it's nice to know that I'm capable of taking over certain functions when my colleagues are out. And like I mentioned before, having a template to set up our newsletter in Umbraco with a drop down feature has been a game changer. Setting up the newsletter used to be such a tedious, multi-hour process, but now it's really straightforward, much more streamlined, and easier to tweak as needed when changes are required.

Digital Marketing Platforms Specialist Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/19/2026 "Recommended CMS for non-technical marketing teams" 5/5 What do you like best about Umbraco? What I love the most is how the user friendly the back office isfor editors. Most CMS platforms require a lot of manual navigation and a lot of time spent on making small manual changes. That's not the case with Umbraco. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Umbraco? Nothing major. The user interface for Umbraco Engage could be improved and the data could update more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you? We have over 20 editors in Umbraco across our organisation, many of whom are not technical. Umbraco makes it easy for them to make the changes required. In my position as an administrator, Umbraco's customisable user permissions are essential in ensuring all the users have the correct permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the delivery API; it provides a structured JSON response that works well for headless development. One suggestion from my side is to provide a secret key (or similar option) to set up a draft version of content in a headless setup. Right now, I’ve had to create a custom API and write some additional code for our client to handle this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Umbraco? In headless development, I’m creating a preview for the client, after writing preview api code, and configure in our headless code. it should be inbuilt Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Umbraco is that projects can be implemented incredibly smoothly with it. Even complex requirements suddenly seem easy to solve because the system is very clearly structured and you quickly reach your goal. The ease of implementation is one of the biggest advantages – from the initial configuration to ongoing content maintenance, everything works remarkably smoothly. Clients also find their way around well without long training, which significantly simplifies the entire process. We use Umbraco in almost all web projects because the implementation works so efficiently and the results are reliably convincing. If questions arise, you quickly get competent support – whether through the support team or the active community. Additionally, Umbraco can be seamlessly integrated with other systems, making it a true all-rounder in daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Umbraco? What is sometimes challenging are smaller details that only become apparent during larger projects – for example, that some extensions or integrations still need some fine-tuning. Updates can also occasionally mean effort if you have implemented very individual solutions. None of this is a real obstacle, but it shows that Umbraco really plays to its strengths when you work with it regularly and take some time to really get to know the system and configure it optimally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you? A major problem that Umbraco solves for us is the combination of technical flexibility and editorial simplicity. Many CMS systems are either very developer-heavy or too limited for complex requirements – Umbraco strikes the perfect balance here. This allows our clients to maintain content independently and without the need for training, while we as an agency can implement technically demanding setups and integrations without any issues. This saves a tremendous amount of time in projects, reduces support requests, and ensures long-term customer satisfaction and stable solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the layout of Umbraco and how easy to use it is. The authoring layout is pretty easy compared to other CMSs I've used, which makes it a top choice for ease of use. The blocks are easy to use too, and it's been a lot easier to educate other people on how to author, which has been a huge help. The new block tools are very detailed and easy to use, and the site settings block makes it easy for me to update everything at once. I also appreciate that there's a preview mode available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Umbraco? The biggest pain point for me has been the deployment of the site. Since it's been hard for people to just, I don't know if it's just the way we set it up, but not everyone has access to publish. So it has to go through our developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you? Umbraco is easy to use, making authoring layouts simple compared to other CMSs. It reduces client questions about authoring and enables others to take over tasks easily. The easy-to-use blocks help educate others, streamlining the process and saving me time.
