"User-Friendly Interface, But Performance Could Improve"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Umbraco?

This product is impressively straightforward and dependable. It’s easy to use right from the start, and its consistent reliability makes the whole experience feel effortless. It does exactly what you need it to do, without any fuss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

While Umbraco is powerful and flexible, it can feel a bit overwhelming for newcomers. Some tasks that should be simple—like configuring certain components or managing more advanced content structures—can require extra steps or deeper technical knowledge. The learning curve can be steeper than expected, and documentation doesn’t always feel as clear or complete as it could be. Overall, it’s a strong platform, but it can take time and patience to fully get comfortable with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful, Flexible, and Developer-Centric: Umbraco Cloud is Our Go-To for a Reason"
5/5
What do you like best about Umbraco?

As a team managing multiple channels (website, adviser portal, etc.) across a three-platform environment (dev, staging, production), Umbraco Cloud has been a game-changer. Since our preferred technology stack is Microsoft, the fact that Umbraco is built on the .NET framework was a major advantage. It allowed us to leverage our existing in-house expertise, which contributed to a remarkably smooth ease of implementation.

The platform's flexibility from a development perspective is its best feature. The ability to write our own custom property editors is invaluable, allowing us to tailor the content management experience precisely to our editors' needs. This simplifies complex tasks and ensures brand consistency. Furthermore, the power to add custom APIs gives us the headless capabilities we need to integrate Umbraco seamlessly with our other business-critical systems.

Whenever we've needed guidance, the documentation has been readily available and comprehensive. On the rare occasion we've hit a roadblock, the support has been incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. Combined with the streamlined deployment pipeline and the ability to easily add our custom domain, Umbraco Cloud provides the perfect balance of creative freedom and enterprise-level reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

While the flexibility is a huge plus, it comes with a steeper learning curve compared to more restrictive, plug-and-play CMS platforms. A developer new to the Umbraco or .NET ecosystem will need some ramp-up time to fully grasp its architecture and best practices.

Additionally, while the core product is solid, the quality of third-party packages can sometimes be inconsistent. It requires a bit of due diligence from our development team to vet packages before integrating them to ensure they are stable, secure, and well-maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Umbraco: A Developer's Dream for Easy, Fast, and Reliable Web Portals"
5/5
What do you like best about Umbraco?

I appreciate Umbraco's simplicity and extensibility, which make it ideal for developing web portals for membership organizations. Its user-friendly approach allows me to empower clients with the necessary tools and confidence to independently update their portals and websites. This capability is invaluable to clients, making the platform incredibly popular among them. Additionally, I find Umbraco to be super fast and reliable, attributes that are essential in maintaining client satisfaction. What stands out for me from a developer's perspective is that Umbraco feels intrinsically built for .NET Core, unlike other platforms where .NET Core support seems like an afterthought. Moreover, the initial setup is consistently easy every time we deploy it, which further enhances its usability. This overall great experience with Umbraco is why I confidently rate it a perfect 10 out of 10 when recommending it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
