Umbraco Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

I think the user experience within the platform could be improved. However, some improvements are already visible in the new versions, and the path seems to be quite positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to create new pages without writing any code, which makes the whole process straightforward. The recycle bin option is also very useful. Mainly open-source and free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s no test email option. Whenever I want to send a test email to check whether it’s working or not, I can’t. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Umbraco has great functionality, allowing tasks like uploading results to be completed in seconds thanks to simple import/export tools. The user experience is seamless and intuitive, making it easy for everyone to find what they need swiftly. I like that the CMS and frontend are simple to use and the interface is smooth and not clunky. It's also easy to train other staff and the CMS navigation is clear. Plus, it's easy to build pages.

Some challenges with the workflow tool which could be improved to ensure users can easily request publication of their work. There have been errors with it working and not allowing users to request publication of their pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Umbraco to manage content on our website, view client info, and pull client data through forms. Umbraco consolidates a lot of tasks in one place, and the integration of Forms makes managing webinar events much easier. The best part of Umbraco is the admin section; it's clean, refined, and user-first on v17.4.2. It allows us to quickly pull client information up in neatly arranged sections and enables our teams to function as one dynamic unit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that Umbraco tends to be quite slow, meaning some features are either inaccessible or incredibly time-draining for me. The web content editor takes a while to load for me; similarly, so does the admin section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Umbraco is sometimes really user-friendly and easy to pick up. The initial setup was easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems to break a lot, and conversion tracking is a huge problem that we still don't have solved. Also, we find that features break often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can tailor the editor experience to the smallest detail, Umbraco doesn't impose any practises on you, so the end product will fit the client needs, instead of you trying to fit the clients needs to the end product.

In addition to that, you can extend Umbraco in any way possible, making it a great choise for both small and larger projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Steep barrier entry, if you are used to products like WordPress, where you get a lot out of the box. This is probably not a bad thing, because you then don't have to disable all kinds of unneeded features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how smoothly it flows; it makes the user experience a lot easier because we can navigate to more sections with greater ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it’s very slow, and it doesn’t always make the changes that were requested. It also sometimes lacks common-sense functionality. For example, when updating a calendar, you can’t highlight multiple days that aren’t all within the same week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
