Manage and create websites

  • November 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Joomla has a web interface that I can customize, it has a control panel with which I can edit all the elements of my website, Joomla has by default excellent tool for the positioning (SEO) of my website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Joomla is a content manager that is a bit unattended, the add-ons are very old and have no updates, and some programming knowledge is required to perform some advanced settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best thing about Joomla is that it allows me to create very secure and interactive web pages, content management is fast and easy to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very good content manager with which you can create excellent web applications, I recommend it because it is free and free code.

Huge potential if in the hands of those who know how to manage it.

What do you like best about the product?
Joomla is full of templates, plugins and extensions of all kinds. If you have mastered the web programming languages, you have a chance to compete with the more famous CMS
What do you dislike about the product?
Joomla is a CMS that I would call very "open" on the code side, you have to be very careful in protecting it from attacks. Other CMS are more careful from this point of view.
Furthermore, although it offers discrete free templates, to work at its best, it requires a suitable hosting with a database of at least 500mb, which can be considered an extra expense compared to other CMS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using joomla since 2015. Thanks to this CMS we are able to configure the plugins that allow us to manage the sports events managed by our company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Starting from zero you can have your simple website in a couple of hours.

Joomla - easy to run CMS with robust features

  • November 08, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy post management, admin tools, robust and simple post management for task delegation
What do you dislike about the product?
Theming and site structure could be handled in a better way, I feel changing layout and format daily to emphasis content rather than being pretty baked into a theme or layout would help for blogging and site managment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any simple front end or blog brand website management that needs robust features, we load joomla unless it needs a different setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need an easy cms for basic front end management, I would look into joomla.

Joomla is a flexible content management system with a lot of flexibility

  • November 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Joomla has a strong user base and documentation to develop, customize, and implement a good website, especially if you are a web developer with strong php experience. If you have a web developer who is already familiar with Jooma then there is no need to hesitate in deciding which platform to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Joomla is not as popular as WordPress in the mainstream web design community these, days, and therefore the number of third party modules, ad ons, and online public support requests which guide other users is not as strong as it once was.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla provides a CMS (Content Management System) solution for us to more easily manage our clients websites. Many of our web design clients do not manage their own Joomla websites, it is not as user friendly as WordPress. However, for web developers, Joomla is a very convenient system to quickly edit and change website content and images.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Joomla especially if you already have a good web developer who is already familiar with Joomla. That may be your only main challange. If you find a Joomla template that you like, or a third party "plug in" or module that has the exact functionality you need, then thats why you might decide to use Joomla in the first place over the more popular WordPress. If you are going to be editing the website yourself, then you might want to consider WordPress first, as tmanaing content and pictures or not as easy for a layman as WordPress.

Web design projects can be much easier and more flexible with Joomla

  • October 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The design environment is something I'm very comfortable using in Joomla. I like that we can create or use and existing template to piece together web pages quickly. There are many resources from Joomla and the Joomla community that help us to implement new websites and work through common problems on our own. I like that we can add many extensions that can quickly boost the functional capabilities of our website without having to commit lots of develop time to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have enjoyed using Joomla, but there aren't as many templates available for this platform as their are for something more popular like WordPress. It's generally not as easy to work in Joomla as it is in WordPress either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla give us a way to develop and piece together websites without having to spend an enormous amount of time writing unique code that can be prone to bugs and compatibility issues. We can alter design easy by moving around visual objects and switching out web components without destroying the integrity of the overall website structure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For faster web development and flexibility with changes, I would suggest trying Joomla. Though it can be complicated than working with WordPress, I think working with Joomla can be manageable if you are more advanced WordPress developer.

Easy to use, but has some bugs

  • October 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how Joomla is more or a novice/intermediate style of webpage editor. It has spots for just code, and input boxes for things you're used to like font, size, color, hyperlinks, pictures, etc. However, for those that know some code, or a lot, there is a spot for entering code. There are are so many things you can add onto your webpage through Joomla.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, if I don't know what's going on with the coding, it can be quite difficult and long to figure out whats causing the problem. I also have to double check that my changes have been saved (obviously a duh thing), every single time. Without fail, a hyperlink will be broken for no reason, or a picture won't update. I'm not sure if it's because the servers are slow, or what.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems I've been able to solve with using Joomla as a webpage editor is just an overall sense of unity and consistency for our brand, but also being able to provide students with the most accurate information about their professors, events, contact info, etc. We also use Joomla to curate news articles that feature students and how they are involved at the University.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking at using Joomla, it's really important that you have someone at your business that knows code, including HTML, and CSS to be able to troubleshoot some issues, and really customize the whole layout and order. It also helps if the person who is create and curating the webpage is knowledgeable in some code, because without it, it is possible to make a good looking webpage, but not as successful.

What do you like best about the product?
Joomla allows us to create and manage web pages visually, using blocks and without having knowledge in programming, you can classify them in different categories and then find them easily and quickly. Its software is free, free and you can use it as many times as you want, its way of installing is easy and fast you can use a web assistant that gives you the requirements step by step. Being an open code always updates and evolves.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not so popular but it works very well and has a lot of customization, it is very easy after you get used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla facilitates the creation of pages and organization of menus and navigation in the company, you can quickly develop websites that meet modern standards for website designs, navigation and functionality. Joomla is immediately configured to handle and organize large amounts of content and is user friendly. It has a large number of extensions, particles and templates that have helped us get the perfect results on our refined and highly functional website.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Joomla is perfect for small business owners who publish their own web content and do not have much experience, it is ideal if you are only looking for ease of use and do not plan to personalize your site much. This provide a good starting point with templates, both free and paid. The use of Joomla! Modules facilitates the completion of most tasks. One of the benefits includes learning about site analysis, metadata, structure and navigation to create a professional website.

What do you like best about the product?
Joomla serves a great purpose in having an alternative to the very mighty and popular WordPress platform... it’s great for a small business who is selling online e-commerce. Joomla has a lot of tools and functions that make the buying online process an easy one

Joomla is the best platform you can have for your company

  • October 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Joomla facilitates the creation of pages and the organization of menus and navigation on the fly for flat content, has the option to Build and design sites and applications, It is easy to use for most people, contains a huge community and support, and its largest directory of extensions among competitors
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it ends up locked on screens while editing or viewing settings or content. It would be good not to have to cancel a current action to get to another place quickly, in addition In some cases it requires relatively more experience to install and run compared to competitors, as well as requires that the suppliers of add-ons update automatically would also be advisable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it throughout the organization and grant different levels of access to employees and for the management of content of a public website, as well as We have been offering a web hosting platform that supports Joomla since its inception, Joomla is one of our most popular applications and is one of the easiest to use applications available at the moment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Joomla is very suitable for all those people who are looking to build a DIY website, as well as Flexibility, large community, library of extensions and security. If someone were looking for an application to do exactly that, I would recommend Joomla and some others.
