Joomla! Review By JoomTech Solutions
Overall Satisfaction with Joomla!
I am a Joomla! Developer having around 8 years of experience. I have started working [with] Joomla [since the] 1.5 version. I really like the Joomla! structure. While I am also working on WordPress, I love Joomla! because of its strong backend and MVC structure.
I have worked for many clients in Joomla!. It is more secure and well managed than WordPress but it has fewer templates or themes available for everything compared to WordPress. The same thing for SEO purposes, WordPress has lots of plugins available to boost website blogs. So nowadays Joomla! [is] going down in comparison to WordPress. Every Blogger recommends WordPress.

Pros
- Joomla! [has the] best component for eCommerce website that is Virtuemart and Hikashop.
- Joomla! [has the] best component for membership like RS Membership. It manages memberships in [a] very well manner.
- Joomla! [has a] Drag and Drop template like Helix Ultimate framework - JoomShaper.
- [It] is [a] very good theme provider.
Cons
- First of all, I suggest to Joomla! Support Team, it should be more flexible to reply. There are no live chat options available. It should be developed.
- Joomla! templates need to develop more functionalities like WordPress where templates [are] available for most of [the] functionalities.
- Joomla! SEO options [are] not enough.
- Joomla! is [a] good CMS and has job opportunities for freelancers and developers.
- Joomla! provides [a] secured website.
At the starting of my career, I got Joomla! to work on, SO I learned about Joomla!. Initially, it was tough to learn component development but after [learning] something, I like to do it.
