What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is good to me, I could say that Concrete5 has limited plugins and themes but you can adapt it to your needs and you can develop addons easily.
The marketplace is smaller than other CMS like Wordpress but you can find the essential you need and more.
It would be great if more people know and use it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've been using this CMS since 2009 and over a decade later, I'd still choose it again in a heartbeat. The team behind ConcreteCMS is always pushing the platform further, and taking bold, brave steps to make it a world-class system. As a developer, it's a breeze working with ConcreteCMS. The elegant architecture makes it easy to create complex add-ons and functionality that is clean, fast, and future-proof. Take the time to give it a try and see how it performs for you, and after a few weeks you'll be like me and it will never be able to look back.

It's really hard to find something to dislike about Concrete5. Concrete5 is a strong, flexible, secure platform that works on small websites or giant data driven web applications.

I hope this review helps other people learn about Concrete5 and give it a try on their next project.

Powerful, Extendable, and User-Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Concrete5 is great for everything from simple websites to custom, complex, applications. The peer-reviewed marketplace offers out-of-the-box solutions that save plenty of time and cost less than developing on your own with many add-ons available for free. Community support is fantastic with user forums and projects, including an e-Commerce solution that is robust and inexpensive to run with no monthly fees (seriously, the best e-Commerce package you're going to find). Sites can be deployed quickly with minimal costs and end-users can be trained often in minutes instead of hours or days. The platform is secure and allows fine-tooth permissions control. Internationalization is handled too for those that need to display their sites in multiple languages. Self-hosted and Concrete5 hosted options are available and maintenance is usually easily managed at the user-level.
Without question, Concrete5 is the perfect mix of power and usability to allow sites to be deployed quickly at a reasonable cost.

What do you dislike about the product?
There can be a learning curve and the technology used in the background has grown more complex over the last few years. This is not to say that it can't be used by those with less technical knowledge, just that like with any CMS there is a learning curve and some occasional pitfalls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Concrete5 for "business-card" type websites and complex applications including product lifecycle management, project management software, and health claims. Costs are very low to implement and the structure is robust and well thought out. Concrete5 allows me to build secure sites quickly that my clients love to use.
