What do you like best about OpenCms?
Easy and fast to learn. Allows to develop websites really fastly. The use of Content Definitions was very useful. Many interesting features, easy to understand and reuse. Summing up: I really recommend the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about OpenCms?
I had to extend the BackOffice in order to manage our contents and to add new functionalities to the website, and at that time, I needed help from forums and community in order to learn how to do some advanced details. After solving everything the result was great, and we used this knowledge in further projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenCms?
Not much really, although i haven't been working with OpenCms for some time now. In the past, the best feature, although it wasn't really appealing for me personally, was OpenCms being Java-based, which was a driving factor in adopting it in a non-skilled team of Java developers who wouldn't have been able to learn a new language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about OpenCms?
- The fact that there are several better, more lightweight options
- A generally high barrier to entrance to become productive working with OpenCms
- Poor support for development tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenCms?
The ability to create a one time template and then spawning multiple websites using the template
1. Open source
2. Based on Java
3. Content Authoring
4. Permission Management
5. Template Creation
6. Version Control
You can invest once to make the website template and you will needed few minutes to made to change the website content multiple times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about OpenCms?
The version that we used does not support the HTML5, CSS3, so we have used old style CSS and basic HTML functions. As per the documentation the latest version of OpenCms supports HTML5 and CSS3 and all that.
Few improvement i would like to see in OpenCms:
1. The text editor can be better
2. The code editor can be better
3. Approval process is not there
4. Document management is also missing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It had a lot of bugs and was set up differently than modern web tools. It required a lot of troubleshooting and had little community support in 2019 when I last worked on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
