Easy to use CMS

  • September 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I used Joomla to build some personal blogs. It was pretty straightforward to use the cms. The extensions and templates were easy to customize. Joomla helped me in many ways especially it saved me from spending a thousand bucks on the web developer.

Joomla is a user-friendly Content Management System (CMS). It helps literally anyone to build a website with no technical knowledge. I did not know any coding the first time I used Joomla. I was able to build a personal blog instantly. Moreover, it provides users the option of creating Joomla customized domain names and free hosting for their website.

Joomla is extremely easy to customize. It comes with built-in extensions and templates. The templates help decide how a website will look, while the extension enables you to add more functionalities and features to your site.

Joomla is reasonably secured. They always update their security patches, extensions, and templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Joomla is easy to learn, it's learning curve is more complex than that of other CMSs like Drupal, Wix, Weebly, and WordPress. I personally disliked the outlook of the sites I built with Joomla. Websites built with Joomla seemed less elegant than that built with other CMS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Website development and design through content management system

I love the idea of Multiple Hosting and Teams

  • September 24, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to host multiple sites and content for clients and internal teams simultaneously on one platform. We were exploring complete ownership of our platform, with all the tools we needed for performance and integration, as well as managing our teams, and Joomla seemed ideal to try this out on, along with Drupal. Within a couple of hours, it was cleat to us that Joomla was the simpler of the two platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a bit much to take on, especially from an Admin role, but I really don't see how you can get around it. The setup seems to compartmentalized but as a small business, the training time was tedious, but that wasn't because of a lack of material. It just seemed like the training was a project of it's own accord.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Utilization of internal teams with secure access to resources all in a well organized package
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The admin needs to take out time to scrutinize and understand the system. I believe once you're Admin is clued on, they can disseminate the information and make it easier for users.

A pretty good option if you are looking to create a basic blog

  • September 24, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The advantage of Joomla in addition to being free is that it offers facilities to people who have little knowledge in the area of web page programming. It is something intuitive and with many options available to create a very complete basic blog. It also has a very good administrator panel where you can manage the pages that your site has.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite all its advantages, it has many weak points to consider, starting with the fact that even though it has many widgets and plugins, its repertoire is not really that wide. It is also not recommended if you want to create a professional website with a large number of options and its SEO optimization is not very advanced such as other software that offers the same service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Despite being a basic option, it has always helped me when the need arises to create a simple web page or a basic blog, since Joomla was one of the first CMS that I started using a few years ago and I still see it very Useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This program is free and it is ideal for those who have little knowledge in web page programming and wish to create a web page or a basic blog under PHP code.
