What do you like best about Mura CMS?

I like that I am able to delegate a lot of my web development roles to those who are less technical by giving them access to portions of code that make sense to them through Mura's interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

I am still unable to create custom error pages using Mura 7 after having reported the bug a few months ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to modify content created through Mura with its own style sheet while simultaneously using an 'm' tag to call content with nested styles. It's great to be able to edit this content with CKEditor through the Mura interface. It saves me time and categorizes more simply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation tends to lag behind production, but most of what you need can be found online with a little digging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:

We ran Mura for a couple years, just trying to figure it out as we went. We eventually ran into things we knew it could do, but didn't know how. I would HIGHLY recommend investing in the training sessions to help bridge the learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We do a lot of information management using Mura. Everything from registration for our training events to tracking location information being reported by amateur radio weather spotters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mura CMS?

Mura team succeeded to bring a very powerful CMS, very extendable like eZ Publish does, but with a simplicity and an efficient I've never met at this level of maturity in other CMS. The way of creating plugins that allows 3rd party integrator to bring new features directly integrated into the Mura user experience. The version 7 is a big push in the right direction, the "in context" web site edition is a killer feature like the form designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

Available templates are limited even if like a dozen has been released last year, otherwise almost all you need is available out-of-the-box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:

Don't be afraid by CFML, this is a very powerful language that will cut your dev cost by 5 to 10 compared to Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Mura CMS?

Mura is very easy to set up , configure and deploy. Compared to Wordpress and Drupal, making edits and adding new pages is very easy for the end user with little CMS experience. When it comes to extending/creating content types and integrating custom code nothing comes close to being as easy. We've worked with a dozen CMS packages over the past decade and Mura is our "go to " when client ask.

Support from Mura and their Google group is second to none. We've had issues with making something work and the Mura techs have replied with code solving out problem! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

Unfortunately the community is small compared to the more popular CMS systems. This is not a fault of Mura but rather CF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mura CMS:

Absolutely give it a try if you are considering a CMS deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Deploying multi language sites or having clients that have a need to have multiple public facing or private sites yet want to share content across each. Was very simple to set up and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
