• BITRIX does not provide multilingual features to the user-defined contents, although Bitrix does provide multilingual capabilities on system UI specific stuff. For example if our site is publishing company news then BITRIX does not provide an out of the box feature to implement this in different languages.

• Getting emails for every single change is really annoying.
• It seems pretty easy, but I suggest you take time to train anyone who will be working on it.
• API integrations could be better as it doesn't work 100% of the time.
• Layouts created are static and you can not move the order.

Mostly good support, but some times i got response late so overall good. Good options with Ajax load of contents with different URL in browser. Similar and better modules to show different contents. Good options for advertising contents.

I have developed some small web sites in Joomla but the problem is that these kinds of CMS platforms are very easily hackable.

• Bitrix Site Manager provides an out of the box way to publish contents on a search engine friendly URL. In this way, site contents more easily crawlable by different search engines.
