Somewhat confusing UI/UX for admins
What do you like best about the product?
extensibility, easy to install, possibility of publishing workflows
What do you dislike about the product?
UI/UX experience for admins, basic functionality need to be enhanced by external modules to implement for example images in galleries etc., you need to keep eye on security
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Small business and personal websites. No real benefits - I would go with Wordpress instead or paid solution like Wix or Squarespace

Once you spend time learning this product you can work with it for many years ahead
Create websites with originality
What do you like best about the product?
It contains multiple tools that streamline the goal of creating websites with ease, the interface is straightforward and high quality, its price is a critical factor for us because the ROI is not a problem with Joomla. Clients have projected their interests with us through Joomla.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, the software could not be customized as I wished; it should be more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The idea of building high-impact websites with the features our clients desire is a benefit that has been acquired since we purchased the software. Joomla has given us the privilege to modify our main panel; the marketing and web design department uses it frequently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Undoubtedly it's a very eye-catching software for creating websites; I'm sure you will be able to establish an exemplary performance for your web pages.
Joomla vs Wordpress -- the winner depends on what you need out of a website
What do you like best about the product?
Joomla is reasonably intuitive to use. The built-in features guide you towards a functional website using tools that are highly configurable.
What do you dislike about the product?
It became clear after the first year of using Joomla that a lot of the plugins you might read about were only available for Wordpress and no Joomla version exists. It wasn't a problem in the vast majority of cases, but I found a few instances where it seemed like the Joomla competitor to big name solutions on Wordpress weren't quite as good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla for me was always used as a "web presence only" website. It let me build what amounted to a semi-complex online business card for my small company. We didn't do any e-commerce.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make SURE you have a third-party website security solution or at the very least a strong website backup tool. If something goes wrong you will want the ability to dial your site back to your last happy version.
The Finest CMS Around
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the website that is being developed is fantastic. One can modify the site layouts, the row-column arrangements, the complete UI as per requirement.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is slightly complex to use, especially for 1st-time users. The Admin interface can be a bit overwhelming. But ideally, if you can start with a small and simple web design, try out the modules and displays, then move into more complex designs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing dynamic and feature rich websites is a challenge and Joomla helps one develop such portals with considerable ease and within short time periods. The Joomla extensions library is also pretty exhaustive and one can find pretty much any functionality they want to enable on their website.
I didn't think that building websites could take so little time. What a great surprise!
What do you like best about the product?
With Joomla, we have started to enjoy the advantages involved in producing our websites, how to save time, money and adapt them to our needs when necessary. It has taken minimal training to start using it, plus it has an extensive support community and online tutorials. I love that it has many web design templates; it simplifies many things.
What do you dislike about the product?
In terms of functionality, I don't have the slightest complaint, but, visually it is somewhat complex; in short, it is not the most intuitive software compared to others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease of use and great flexibility has been helpful for us to get excellent websites, both informative and commercial, for our organization. We have hit the nail on the head with this acquisition; it has benefited my team and me a lot, it has saved time and resources for the organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is one of the best CMS tools on the market; you don't need to be an expert in web design to create attractive sites when you have such a powerful resource like Joomla; it is worth it.
Joomla is a great website CMS!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the speed at which I can create a website, using Joomla. I appreciate the ability to add a variety of free or paid templates, extensions, and components, to make my websites look professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it if Joomla had an automated extension updating capability, as well as better protocols in place to prevent spammers and fake site registrations. Extensions are available to help with these issues, but they are an extra charge, and the good ones can be expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla enables me to create a professional-looking website, for pennies on the dollar, quickly and do it myself. With the exception of purchasing a domain name and hosting fees, I can create an awesome website for next to no investment!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you've never used a CMS to create a website, there will be a learning curve. Just stick with it...it's worth it! If you have any issues or problems, you can usually search for and find a video in Youtube on how to complete an action within Joomla. Save money and do your own website(s)!
Joomla is by far the best CMS you can use
What do you like best about the product?
Joomla offers a very user friendly interface on both the front and back end while offering a wide variety of paid and free addons.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not yet found one dislike with Joomla. Everything has been functioning properly for my needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Joomla has helped me build a small ecommerce website producing on average $7500 in monthly sales currently.
The best all round CMS
What do you like best about the product?
It's generally faster than wordpress, more secure and with more features built into the core.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slightly steeper learning curve than the easiest CMS platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Both simple and complex sites with sophisticated functionality
Once Popular CMS but Lacks Intuitiveness and is Behind the Competition
What do you like best about the product?
It is PHP based platform which does make it compatible with many web hosts and is fairly easy to install on the server as the default base platform. It has been around for a while so, there are still a lot of theme templates available for it on the market. It does attempt to have some content management tools aimed at novices, at least in comparison to more complex frameworks like Drupal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Joomla has historically lacked the intuitive nature that other platforms like Craft or WordPress have, for the standard website owner admin user. Simple tasks like navigation menu management require two or three extra steps to achieve. The organization of content and modules is confusing to a non-developer, which makes the developer-to-end-user relationship difficult. It has also been difficult to upgrade from version to version. It is not easy for an average website owner or entry level administrator to maintain the site, which makes for serious headaches on security vulnerabilities and a bigger expense when you do need to upgrade and overhaul it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unfortunately, I no longer recommend Joomla due to the challenges faced by most website owners to maintain it. It does not solve their problems.
