"A highly extensible Open Source .NET CMS with a great helpful community"

4/5

What do you like best about Umbraco?

Ever since I first started using Umbraco around ten years ago, I was always impressed by how easy it was to use.

The CMS did not dictate and give me opinionated HTML markup and that I was in complete 100% control, where other CMS's make it hard to control the entire HTML output where you spend ages working around problems to get it to work how you needed it.

Along with a friendly bunch of people in the community to ask for advice and guidance, this has made me stick around and keep using the piece of software and CMS that has given me a great career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

There is very little to dislike about Umbraco in my opinion.

If you are considering Umbraco for your next project, I would say go give it a chance, considering it's free, Open Source and updated by an active community of developers and by a corporate entity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use, Great for Team Collaboration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Umbraco?

I appreciate the benefit Umbraco provides by allowing writers and content creators to participate more easily, which gives developers more time to focus on their primary tasks. I find the digital asset management and scheduling updates features particularly useful. The software is cost-effective and easy to use, which influences my decision to choose it again.

"User-friendly but more suitable for smaller sites"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Umbraco?

I am a superuser managing over 200 editor accounts, who make changes on our site and then I approve the workflow. The user interface is straightforward and most editors are very happy with the day-to-day editing. We have an external team of developers who customise a lot of the features for us, and these usually work well and the editors find them easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

Our site is extremely large with over a thousand nodes and hundreds of users to manage. I feel Umbraco was designed to handle smaller sites, as user management and searching this many nodes is a bit clunky. It also seems to be a bit tricky to integrate with other systems, but this is done by a third party for us, so I cannot comment on how easily this is done, only that communication between Umbraco and other systems is often unpredictable, whether it's via XML or an API.
