Concrete CMS Reviews & Product Details - Page 7

The live editing (and its ease of use) for every page is THE best thing concrete5 ships with. Go to a pageyou'd like to edit and add/change parts of your page - using Blocks. A page is build with multiple Blocks and you just click on a Block to do an action (edit/delete and many more). Each Block has its own fields to change, let's say a "Testimonial" Block with a "Name", "Image" and "Text" field. Change a Block, save the page and afterwards you have full versioning of changes you made to the page. So you can revert to any given date/point of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The somewhat small community, since WordPress is THE biggest CMS and most people "heard" WordPress is good and they only want that. concrete5 is a little gem that has only been discovered by a small group of people and needs/deserves more attention. Since the community is not huge, the amount of plugins/addons/themes isn't that big either. So it can use a bigger crowd! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not much to report, it fulfilled all my needs and tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Decent photo editor built in, well organized, easy to use. Well suited for even the most non-tech person to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally an issue with a lag between editing a photo and then it showing correctly on site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use for (tech-unsavvy) users and still extendable for developers. Its robust core provides a lot of functionality out-of-the-box and the recent step from version 5.6 to version 7 cut off a lot of old code with all its possible problem of security breaches. Not only do I like the products itself but also the philosophy of the team developing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is relativeley unknown despite its high quality. It seems like many people measure the quality of a CMS by the number of free add-ons that are available for it, even though this is a hint that the CMS itself does not do much.

Many want their website built with one of the popular CMSes or Web Builders because they've heard of them before, which I really would not advice to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very flexible system with a lot of built-in tools like inline editing, page versioning, built in blocks like image-slider, forms, seo-features, flexible theming, layout-columns in pages, user-permissions and roles. Secure and robust core!

One of the coolest things is to build custom blocks for controlling the look and feel and giving a simple and flexible solution to a site editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The community isn't big enough to push things. I mean its a cool software and the small community is very helpful. But it could really get bigger.

Second: The great bunch of tools takes some time to get used to. The more features - the more complex it becomes to get into this gem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of support for older versions and lack of available plugins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
