"Intuitive CMS with plenty of customisation options"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Umbraco?

Umbraco's open source nature is fantastic for implementing additional functionality. This, in turn, allows you to customise everything to suit your business needs and goals. The platform is also incredibly intuitive and since we started using Umbraco ten months ago I've been able to train other in-house users with ease. From a campaign perspective, having the option of conditional fields within Forms is a huge benefit and it's a feature we use often when catering content to specific audiences.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

When in grid view and looking at lots of uploaded documents, Umbraco doesn't allow you to drag the column outwards to reveal the full PDF name. This can be frustrating when trying to locate multiple, similarly named documents in a particular folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Friendly and flexible"
4/5
What do you like best about Umbraco?

I really like Umbraco because of how incredibly flexible it is, it adapts to a wide range of project needs, whether you're building a simple site or a complex application. Development can move fast thanks to its robust out of the box features, which save time without sacrificing customisation. The diverse ecosystem of packages makes it easy to extend functionality without reinventing the wheel, and for someone new to content management systems, Umbraco is a fantastic learning platform. Its intuitive interface and strong community support make it approachable, while still offering depth for more advanced users.

Umbraco is also very user friendly when it comes to managing content. Adding and editing pages is straightforward, with a clean interface that makes it easy to navigate even for beginners. You can make changes quickly and preview exactly how they'll appear before publishing, which gives you confidence that everything looks just right. This real-time feedback loop is especially helpful when collaborating with clients or stakeholders who want to see updates instantly. It streamlines the content workflow and helps maintain a polished, professional site without unnecessary delays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

One aspect of Umbraco that I find frustrating is working with nested content. While it's powerful for structuring complex data, it can quickly become overwhelming when there are too many layers buried within each other. Navigating through deeply nested fields to make a simple change often feels tedious and unintuitive, especially when you're trying to maintain clarity across multiple content types. It can slow down the editing process and make it harder to spot where specific content lives, which isn't ideal when you're aiming for efficiency or collaborating with less technical users.

I also wish you could see exactly what changes were made when reviewing the history of the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible, .NET-Based Solution with Room for Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Umbraco?

I like how Umbraco is .NET based, which fits perfectly with our existing technology stack since we already have .NET developers. This makes integration seamless and allows us to stay close to our tech stack. I appreciate that Umbraco is free to use, which makes it highly budget-friendly for our company. The platform is also easily extendable and completely configurable, allowing us to tailor it to our specific needs without the excessive clutter we experienced with systems like WordPress. Moreover, the initial setup was quite easy, facilitating a smooth transition from our previous system. Additionally, we have successfully built an API into Umbraco to sync properties with our website, a feature that works very well for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

I find the editor in Umbraco to be a bit cumbersome to use. It presents a learning curve, which can be quite challenging, especially for those unfamiliar with the system. Additionally, it's problematic that you don't always visually see the results of your changes immediately when dealing with custom elements. This lack of immediate feedback can slow down the workflow and complicate the editing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
