Having used WordPress, Joomla, Squared space, Wix and moany other CMS's this is the best i have ever used.
It has everything you need out of the box, it is feature rich and you rarely need loads of plugins. It was built for the user, its simple to use but also has a complex core that you can build off should you want to use it as a development platform.
The code is well commented, well structured and easy to expand. There is a good community of developers and designers with a good forum and slack group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much to dislike, the lack of ecommerce is an issue but there is a very good plugin for this that is well supported. some of the documentation can be lacking but there are enough people in the C5 community should you need the answers. Also it is very easy to contact the creators of this CMS should you want exact information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Concrete is a very powerful yet easy-to-use CMS. We use it both for our intranets and public websites.
Its multilanguage features help us connecting to our worldwide customers.
Thanks to its great permission model, we grant our resellers access to specific parts of our websites, and since it's so easy, they don't even need any training!
Last but not least, it's very extensible, and its codebase is very clean and robust: coding for it is a joy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The documentation is a bit lacking, but since Concrete is very easy, you won't miss it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Concrete5 is a very good and reliable cms tool. It is very useful for developers as well as end-users. It provides a drag and drop feature with responsive layouts which makes this tool very efficient to use. The developers can edit the layout by coding also. It provides more than 1000 add on functionalities which makes it more attractive to use. Concrete5 community support and forums are very helpful and useful. Also according to our organizational requirements, we can easily manage access control which ensures the privacy of the project. It provides multi-language support with integration with other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Concrete5 provides fewer built-in forms which basically restricts some of the client requirements. There is less documentation provided for concrete5 which is a big negative point. The user interface can also be improved and can be made more friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been using Concrete CMS in the last 5 years actively. It's a perfect fit for fast prototyping, headless projects, API-s, small projects (website in a weekend) and also for large-scale project (I have a project with huge traffic and constantly ongoing activity) and this CMS fits like a glove.

Concrete5 is simply best of-class content management and website development platform. It's ready to use right out of the box, and it completely extensible and customizable as much as needed. More over, our clients love working on their sites for day-to-day updates and site management. Concrete5 runs on any Linux (LAMP stack) server that would support Drupal, Joomla, WordPress or any of the other platforms.
Our clients love working on their Concrete5 powered websites. Whether it's adding articles to the news room, sharing brand assets, updating employee profiles, or posting job openings to for their HR departments. It's not uncommon for our clients to grow their sites >50% in size during the first year after launch.
If your web team is tired of dealing with CMS training issues, you need to consider Concrete5.

If you're pulling your hair out over frequent update patches required to keep your CMS platforms secure, you need to consider Concrete5 as the primary platform to grow your business, build great sites and make clients happy.

It's really hard to find something to dislike about Concrete5. Concrete5 is a strong, flexible, secure platform that works on small websites or giant data driven web applications. The biggest thing that I dislike about Concrete5 is that it does not have the name recognition of other website platforms. I hope this review helps other people learn about Concrete5 and give it a try on their next project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
