Overall Satisfaction with Joomla!

We utilize Joomla! for ease of creating and managing our website internally. We appreciated that Joomla! enabled us to keep our content current and be able to publish what we needed without requiring technical skills. The main issues that Joomla! Helped minimize were the simplicity of updates on the website, the time spent on updates, and the need for technical support. Our use case of Joomla! consists of posting our news, managing our events, and sharing information with our audience. Joomla! covers much of our website management needs and helps us keep organized and connected to our users.

Pros

  • Helping us easily update website content.
  • Build forms, and manage user access.
  • Adding extra features with extensions.

Cons

  • Difficult for beginners to learn.
  • Complex to use some features.
  • Limited options for easy design customization.
  • Saved time on website updates.
  • Lowered costs by reducing the need for extra developers.
  • Increased customer engagement and sales.
Reasonably easy to use, with many valuable features. However, it can be a bit complicated for beginners and may require some time to learn. Overall, it's good but still has some room for improvement.
Joomla! fits me better because it is flexible and simple enough to understand. WordPress is straightforward, but it can't handle bigger websites as efficiently. Drupal is powerful, but it can be more challenging to learn. Joomla! Offers a suitable mix of options that meet my website requirements.

Do you think Joomla! delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Joomla!'s feature set?

Yes

Did Joomla! live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Joomla! go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Joomla! again?

Yes

In my experience, it works well for large websites with numerous pages, such as community sites or online directories. It’s less suitable for small websites or simple pages that don’t need many features. It’s also not ideal for rapid, lightweight sites.
