Overall Satisfaction with Joomla!

Joomla is being used across the whole organization as the CMS of our main websites, including anything from simple documentary ones, to complex content managing databases.
  • Moderate control of features.
  • Extensive customization.
  • Robust and secure structure.
  • Should have better interface, automatizing more features
  • Should have a better customer service, even when it's an open-source project.
  • Should have better outreach for beginner customers.
  • It's given us the ability to create custom designed products.
  • Has given us the ability to provide content outside of traditional vendors.
I like Joomla! a lot more than WordPress, as I find this constrictive in the way that they have made it a one size fits all CMS. I also find that their vulnerabilities are far bigger than Joomla's.
Joomla is best appropriate for websites that are out of the norm, but in general, I prefer it for everything over WordPress or Drupal. Granted, the level of specificity might be daunting to someone that's used to creating websites on something like WIX, but this system gives you complete control if you're a person with basic understanding of web design, architecture and so on.
