Umbraco Reviews & Product Details

I love how flexible, fast, and easy to understand Umbraco is. The community's uniqueness and helpfulness stand out to me, as well as the excellent collaboration between Umbraco HQ and this community. Everyone shows such passion and dedication to building great things for users. I also appreciate the open source/commercial hybrid approach, which is well balanced and makes Umbraco potentially appropriate for both small and enterprise clients. The initial setup was very easy, which is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to see Umbraco gain more of a foothold in the enterprise DXP / CMS space, as it's currently monopolized by enormous, expensive solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Umbraco's easy-to-use UI and headless capabilities, along with the easy-to-integrate API, very beneficial for my needs. It's great for our clients who need a CMS that's simple and doesn't come with the headache of plugins and widgets.

The web design capabilities in Umbraco are sometimes not up-to-date enough. There is a lack of more flexible design options and a bit more playful design elements, instead of rigid text blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Human-readable data format allows us to store umbraco documents as code. It's rich in integrations and very extensible. umbraco-mcp has also been a massive time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is not very intuitive and feature bloat doesn't help, especially with performance. I dislike that it's not open-source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very user-friendly and doesn't feel overly complex, which is great if you work with people who aren't as familiar with CMSs. There's also quite granular levels of user permissions which makes it easy to set and restrict permissions across your teams. You can also add extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The confirmation notifications appear over the publish and save buttons in the bottom right, so it blocks the buttons which is impractical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love using Umbraco because it provides an easy-to-set-up platform that offers high customizability, making it a fantastic choice for web development. The myriad possibilities it offers for customization are truly endless, allowing me to tailor my projects precisely to client needs. The user-friendly Backoffice is incredibly well-designed, with a strong focus on the end-user experience, which greatly contributes to client satisfaction. Additionally, the supportive and vibrant community surrounding Umbraco is something I cherish, as it fosters collaboration and continuous learning. Switching to Umbraco from EPiServer, now Optimizely, was a seamless process, enhancing my workflow without issues. Overall, Umbraco’s combination of flexibility, ease of use, and community engagement makes it my top recommendation for other developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it inconvenient that you need to create document types through the UI in Umbraco, as it limits a true code-first experience. This approach requires a lot of extra work, which can be cumbersome. However, once I adjusted to it, it became manageable by hooking up document types to auto-generated C# classes for easier coding.

Sometimes new features haven’t been documented, but this has changed in recent years. It also follows the .NET release cycle, which means it is rapid, and upgrades are faster than other offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Umbraco for all my client websites because it's a great platform for building unique, bespoke websites. I appreciate its flexibility as it allows you to create whatever kind of website you want. The security is great because they are quick to patch security issues, which are usually few and far between. It's also a very stable and mature product. I like its scalability too. Additionally, I love its integration capabilities as it works well with various systems, including Salesforce. The initial setup for the large charity site I support was made easier by using Umbraco.
