Overall Satisfaction with Joomla!
At that time, we used Joomla! to address the specific needs to create and build company Portal and some web applications for business purpose. So, we were using Joomla! as the main platform to serve it for IT departments and other teams as well. Joomla! already quite popular and easy to be used when we search the solution for this requirement.
- It is very easy to create any project using Joomla. Easy to use and easy to publish and maintain.
- Joomla! has many add-on and extensions to support the full range of features.
- It is based on Open Source with the strong support from many communities
- Some of the Joomla! plugins and extensions are not free and not cheap as well.
- Difficult for own customization.
- Security concerns.
- Faster time-to-market. Change can be done as quick as possible.
- Not require special resources to manage and maintain it.
- Reduce overall cost for CAPEX and OPEX.
Joomla! is much easier than those products and with the strong support from Joomla! community and the availability of Joomla! plugins and extensions, then in my point of view, Joomla! is better. Also, Joomla! is very suitable for Portal and e-Commerce creation. Many features and add-on support this functionality and requirement to serve the business user.
