Mailtrack is an email-tracking extension for Gmail and part of Mailsuite. It adds delivery and read-status indicators to sent messages, showing when recipients open an email or click a tracked link without requiring users to leave Gmail. Key Capabilities Gmail read receipts: Mailtrack adds one or two checkmarks to sent messages. Grey checkmarks indicate delivery; green checkmarks indicate that the message was opened. Open and…
If your developers want to have some fun, Joomla offers the stability and friendliness to do custom coding. Certain marketing initiatives require us to get "cute" with the interface, and Joomla allows for that a bit easier than WordPress (and definitely easier than sites like Squarespace). The security of Joomla is also always a plus.

Mailtrack is great for tracking emails if you do not want to pay for larger more complicated tools that do the same thing. If you already love your system but just want to add some convenient read tracking, that's exactly what this is for. If you have a system that doesn't work well, I would take the time to evaluate alternatives that also include read tracking (Salesforce for example). This also applies if you're trying to use this for large outbound sales emails - there are a lot of applications that have email tracking built in (Outreach.io is a great example) so it may just be worth switching your whole system.

Security. Its got many new features in the new Joomla! 4 which make the already good security even better. I like the ability to use my Yubi keys to log in with the new webauth standard, I don't think any other CMS has that built in

Because Joomla's user community is smaller than WP, it lacks as many choices from 3rd party developers, meaning it can be a little more difficult to find the right extension for what you need to accomplish
Along the same vein, most of the best 3rd-party software for Joomla! is paid
Simple features such as Add to Menu and Cache cleaners should be adopted as part of the Joomla! core, though they are available as extensions
Joomla! could use a simpler and easier URL rewriting process

I gave it a rating of 10 because I just love how Joomla! works, how it is set up and how it handles many users. Also it is very fast, and there is no overload on the MySQL database or servers ever.

Joomla! 3.x is easily installed either manually or via a script provided by your host. It contains most of the tools needed to begin creating websites right from the start. Those features that it doesn't have are easily installed via links and buttons from the thousands of extensions available in the community
I would rate Mailtrack's overall usability as a ten out of ten. The reasons for this are actually quite simple. For now, only I have been using Mailtrack. However, looking at the rather easy to use characteristics Mailtrack has to offer, I would not hesitate to recommend it to the rest of my colleagues.

Today's Modern Joomla performs very well and is robust and durable. The pages load faster than they ever did in the past and Modern Joomla's integration into other software or systems has become seamless. Modern Joomla sites will last long and will stay running forever.

Between the core Joomla developers who are excellent at answering questions and providing support, you have a whole community of developers who work with Joomla and are happy to help fellow developers out answering questions and supporting the Joomla project. Out of the many communities I am involved in for open-source software, Joomla's community is by far the best.

I didn't really need to use the customer support but the fact that they proactively make the installation process so easy by providing step by step instructions with videos and everything is kind of pro-active customer support that is needed. Good for them because at the end of the day, it's everyone's dream to use a product that they don't need support for.
Joomla has gone through tremendous growing pains. It is now better than ever. But before, when it was going from 1.5-2.5, the templates and plugins would break over and over again. If you don't understand what Joomla was trying to do back then, you might have a bad attitude toward it. Today, those pains are over and things don't break like they used to during that time period.

We tested other platforms like WordPress, Magento and some local CMS. But Joomla offered us better resources for generating content. Joomla is a CMS suitable for many types of projects, especially if you have several people editing content at the same time. It allows you to maintain visual standardization and offers many options for working with images. With its ability to control access to different articles, categories or even different components, it is a great tool, even if they are managed by different people.

There's a free tier. Obviously, there are other things to love, like notifications about your email being read, the fact that if an email hasn't been responded to in some time it gets bumped up. The fact that if other people have Mailtrack you will actually get notified who read your email. But the fact that there is a free tier is HUGE.

I'm currently using the free version so my investment was time spent downloading the browser extension. I would say it's worth the investment because I can make more value through each email by finding the right time to send replies or know when is the exact time I should follow up.
Knowing when an email is read multiple times helps me know the importance of the content in my email.
The paid version allows Mailtrack to tell you which recipient read the email if there was more than 1.
