Easy to use, customize, create unlimited templates and fields Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I see we dont have must support and community groups for discussion online Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our favorite features of this content management system are 1) The high level of security and 2) the ability to bring in any customized design or framework and have it work flawlessly and unencumbered by the CMS. 3) ExpressionEngine allows our clients to own their data, contentand design and to take it with them wherever they go in terms of hosting and ongoing maintenance and upgrades. 4) ExpressionEngine can be simple for non-developers use and maintain if setup correctly with the client's needs and desires in mind. 5) The control panel is fast and flexible in terms of layout. You can customize it to suit your needs making it fast to use and greatly reduces the amount of clicks between sections compared to other CMS we've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike about ExpressionEngine. I guess our biggest issue would be the poor documentation of some 3rd-party addons when needed to complete a project. Since ExpressionEngine just changed to an open-source product, I imagine this issue will be resolved as more developers jump in to addon development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makes it easy to manage users, clean code output Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike almost everything about Expression Engine. The UX is deplorable and we constantly get signed out and lose changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the easy interface to update our sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a little "chunky" and slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ExpressionEngine is very user friendly! It has all the essentials you need for a CMS with zero clutter of junk. This was the first CMS I worked with at my job, which shows you that it was very easy to teach myself the ends and outs of EE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes creating forms on EE can be cumbersome. I had to have our website developer step in to help in this regard. Also we had to add captchas to our forms to stop spamming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly don't like anything about this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Literally everything. The UI, the UX, the actual platform itself. Nothing is easy about using our navigating EE. When recently went through n EE upgrade that was originally supposed to take 1 week. It ended up taking 4 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is somewhere in the middle of Wordpress and Larger platforms as far as ease of use is concerned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most page and template changes, as well as cart changes are all code. Costs a lot of money to maintain and update this site. As a non developer I prefer something more user friendly to a non coder. Doing basic marketing functions on this site, like adding Landing pages, banners, pop ups, add-ons, etc are very challenging. Doesn't have a lot of basic stuff built in. Again, can be added but it's all code. Blog posts are hard to customize compared to other platforms I've used. Seems like it's missing a lot of basic stuff for a CMS.

I love the versatility of the program - it allows for so many cheap plugins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are a few user-unfriendly areas that i need programming to help me with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have found EE to be highly extendable. We have member-specific content, discussion forums, wikis, and a ratings system (in addition to regular site content) all running on ExpressionEngine.

The support is top notch. We pay for the silver support plan ($49/mo) and it is 100% worth it. The ExpressionEngine support folks are knowledgeable and speedy with their responses. I have never actually expedited a ticket because I know I will have a reply within a few hours by filing a regular ticket.

EE 3 has a more user-friendly interface for site admins (compared to EE 2). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many settings that can be customized, sometimes it's difficult to remember where certain settings live. Of course, EE is well documented so it's usually easy to look up the answer (or if all else fails, file a support ticket). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because it's the update and I have the most experience with the new version, I'm going to speak about 3.0—ultimately, it's very user-friendly. Even to people who aren't necessarily on the developer side (like me). The functionality of the program is great, the new Assets feature is wonderful (although there are a few bugs that will eventually be fixed), and it's pretty straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's sometimes difficult to find things unless you've used the program a few times (thoroughly) before. Every so often, I find myself nosing around through tabs I don't normally go to in order to try to find a space to integrate content. The Assets feature also has some kinks to work out, but overall it's a great version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
