A Satisfying CMS software.

What do you like best about the product?
1. Joomla is easy to install. It takes about ten minutes from installing and running it on your PC. Not quicker than quick.cms or wordpress but a lot quicker than drupal.
2. Plugins in Joomla are like pre-loaded and comes with thousands of free plugins which makes it easier to use Joomla. It makes it a lot more functional than it's competitors.
3. You get an extensive discussion board where you can learn new things as well as you get many tutorials and programmer tools, that is an abundant support also comes with joomla.
4. The script has a good navigation management too. Even with a couple of hundred sub-pages you can easily navigate through it's interface because it has a comprehensive navigation management.
5. The links that are created by joomla are very friendly and keeps the SEO position high in the market. It generates some good looking URLs.
6. You can update your script to a newer verion from the web browser itself.
7. Admin panel can be intimidating at the beginning, but with time you can learn it and unlock it's full potential at your use.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Joomla has limited server resources. That is, it is not made for a very large amount of traffic.You cannot expand your site on server parameters.
2. Some of the plugins are paid are to be paid in Joomla which you can sometimes get for free in scripts like wordpress and drupal.
3. for some plugins to use, you may have to work some serious code in PHP for the plugin just to be compatible in you script.
4. Beginners can find the site over whelming as there are a lots of functions for the beginners to look at.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla really helps in great content managing for the work. It's navigation and many free plugins help in editing and updating the web-pages easily. But it is indeed a quite hard to use for beginners.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a beginner at using a CMS software, you might want to consider Quick.Cms or Wordpress at the beginning because Joomla is just quite hard to get used to at the beginning as there are a lot of functions available to use. Else, Joomla is indeed one of the best CMS softwares in the market.

A well-rounded CMS for a variety of web development needs

  • September 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The structure of Joomla allows me to quickly develop websites that up to modern standard for website designs, navigation and functionality. The open source nature of Joomla makes it a great development platform for minimizing costs and implementing a website content management system that is easy to update. There are lots of website templates that we can use for Joomla that can be downloaded for free from the Joomla community or purchased at web template websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes get very complex and confusing to work with some of the more advanced components of Joomla. Compared to WordPress, Joomla isn't as user-friendly out of the box, nor does it have as many extensions and other resources that could help implement various added features almost instantly. More technical knowledge is required when working with Joomla.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla provides us with a web development platform that can be easier for website owners to update standard content. From the developers end, backend structural changes can also be made more easily and applied to multiple pages. We host several event and marketing pages that let people sign up or read more about our events or promotional offers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For those that have the time to dive into Joomla, I think it could be good for having lots more design and customization options rather than depending mostly on a visual user interface that has limited editing capabilities.

A Good support but will be hard for newbies in CMS.

  • September 11, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Joomla has abundant plugins to use, you will find that the script has many free plugins which are already available at the home page. It is also very easy to install, takes only around 5 minutes to install. I noticed that the script also has a good navigation system management. Moreover, you'll also get good looking URLs. If you need to update a script, you can do it from a web browser itself. You also have an option for advanced option for administration.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is that you only get limited options for adjustments, as for like advance users you'll always find something missing form the script. Joomla also cannot handle large traffic on the website, it is not that efficient in handling the large traffic yet, that is you get limited server resources which are only good for low traffic websites. Many advance plug in are paid for the use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use Joomla for monitoring the traffic. It has simple navigation and average UI which I oddly like to use. If you have some experience with CMS systems and If you want something more than wordpress and something lesser than Drupal, I think Joomla will be a good choice for you. As the script is free, has good number of free plugins, templates and modules. For multimedia content it is indeed a good choice. It is where it works best by means of performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is indeed a great free CMS to use with many of the plugins free to use. But if you have experience in Wordpress or Drupal and are a kind of advance user, you'll always find something missing to use. It is good option for newbies. Installing is easy as well.

Joomla sites are lighter and have better performance than wordpress sites. Joomla as has options that enable to make your site load first like optimizing images or enabling gzip compression
What do you dislike about the product?
Unlike wordpress, Joomla is a little hard to learn or use and requires a lot more technical knowledge. Joomla does not have such a large community of templates and plugins that you're afforded with wordpress
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla allows you greater control over your web page to optimize performance.

Joomla is great but we have switched over to wordpress

  • August 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Joomla has some great features as a content management system, but we have made the switch over to wordpress. We have found that Joomla was great for what we had but now the standard seems to be moving away from Joomla so we had to do the same
What do you dislike about the product?
Joomla is missing some features that wordpress has, the plugins for wordpress pretty much have everything possible you could need...they are easy to install and its not even compaing apples to apples in that front.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla was our content management solution, however it grew old and tired, and we needed something fresh to stay current with todays trends.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would unfortunately recommend to switch to Wordpress before trying Joomla. It was good while we had it but wordpress has so many more bells and whistles

A very good platform for website creation forfôr,fər Traducciones de for PreposiciónFrecuencia para

  • August 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like Joomla mainly because of the advantage offered by its modules and accessories, they are easy to install, configure and use. Also, I think it's an excellent CMS for designing and creating websites very easily. Also most of the add-ons and modules are free or free software, although there are also some payments with better features. Compared to Wix, Joomla is not so easy to configure, I think it has a similar difficulty to WordPress. It may end, I consider that an important point is that the web is always kept updated thanks to the constant update of its core and modules.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite considering it one of the best alternatives for the design and creation of websites, I consider that security is a point to take into account in this platform, because I do not consider it to be as strong as in the case of other CMS platforms, and another point that I do not like so much is the difficult one to publish pages, on previously they must be linked to a menu to be public and easily accessible. I also consider that some more advanced configurations require extensive programming knowledge. Despite this I think it is a great platform for creating websites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the company it has allowed us to create various portals of the company to show content of interest to our employees, to make an internal digital newspaper in the company, and also the creation of an information portal for all our customers and allies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this platform mainly to create simple websites and blog, because it is easy to manage and maintain. Many templates and add-ons are cheaper than WordPress and this is ideal for companies with low budget. In addition with Joomla you have great control of the website, and the multi-language module is really useful and easy to use. It is also important that this CMS has a very strong community and willing to support and help its users in whatever they need. Finally, I recommend that the administrators of this platform always keep it updated to prevent security problems

The inerface takes some getting used to and can be confusing if you're coming from a WordPress background. Joomla does not have a wide pool of themes to choose from like wordpress
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Joomla! has been an excellent content management platform to create a more lively website.

  • July 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The upsides of Joomla! include its price, as well as ease of use in uploading content and articles to the website. It's very self-explanatory and has powerful SEO features that optimize my company's content. The convenience of uploading content has saved my team time and money.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the platform is often very slow and not updated. It's taken me as much as 20 minutes before to upload an article, which normally would have taken at most 2 minutes. Joomla! upgrades have often broken the extensions on the website, causing major headaches and website issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Normally, using Joomla!, we save time on administrative time and also on paying an outside web developer to upload the content for my company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore the SEO features of Joomla! I wasn't aware of these and the keywords and meta data can make all the difference in maintaining a great SEO presence.
