Joomla is quite easy to deploy, configure, and setup. It doesn't take you very long to start creating your first web page.

The only dislike about Joomla cms is only the uploading of files in a single. There is no option for a bulk upload, or we have to use a third-party service. Sometimes the searching for modules is a bit hectic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Joomla is a versatile content management system because it is composed of modules, which makes it very configurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
