What do you like best about Umbraco?

The back office is intuitive and easy to learn. Especially if you have some WordPress experience. The developers have done some excellent work with the UI but also on the server side. In WordPress there were issues with previewing cache wise. None of that in Umbraco. Umbraco also have a more professional approach for working with images and styles.

What do you like best about Umbraco?

I've used Umbraco since Umbraco 7, and what a ride it has been!

I like that Umbraco is so easy to use, both in the backoffice AND when coding. Whether it's integrating an external API or adding document types or templates, it all feels very intuitive.

The interface in the backoffice is very clean and feels modern. Whether you're scheduling content, managing language versions, or simply editing a page, Umbraco's interface feels smooth and responsive.

One of the biggest advantages of using Umbraco is also the community. The Umbraco community is very active; providing forums, documentation, and a variety of add-ons/plugins. The customer support is also really friendly if you need dedicated assistance!

For our latest project we used the Content Delivery API and I thought it worked very well to fetch the content in an easy way.

Overall I think Umbraco is the perfect combination of simplicity and depth, both for the developer and content editors! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

When editing a blocklistproperty I want to be able to add multiple blocks at the same time, and not add them one and one.

I would like better language block support, but that is coming in Umbraco 15! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you?

Umbraco offers a powerful content management system that allows to easily create, edit, and manage content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Umbraco?

Umbraco is currently the best CMS out there. It is well suited if you want to host the website yourself or if our customers want an easy way to customize and edit content. It's easy to get started through our own instance-system were we can spin-up customer sites within 4 minutes.

The backend interface is clean and user-friendly, which helps non-technical users manage content efficiently.

Comprehensive documentation and tutorials are available, aiding both beginners and experienced developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

While Umbraco is developer-friendly, it can have a steep learning curve for those unfamiliar with the .NET framework or the CMS itself.

Major upgrades can sometimes be challenging, potentially requiring significant effort to ensure customizations and third-party integrations remain functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you?

The flexibility to create a range of different webpage layouts, without the need to do any coding is great, and the preview function is particularly useful. Its benefiting me in a way that it does most of the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Umbraco?

The ability to make block lists are a convenience that makes complicated stacks of components possible. The UI when developing is clean concise and easy to use, excited with the future transition to React.js.

Setting up umbraco projects is simple and developing MVC web applications are well supported.

Integration with frontend technologies are fairly simple with the Models for documents type being familiar and simple to understand if experienced with dotnet projects.

I use Umbraco regularly for developing complex web applications that have MVC structure and APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

The umbraco forums can be slow to respond but that is understandable.

I face issues with Model generation which could be out of sync at times and might cause issues when maintaining a share repo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work for an agency that provides Umbraco solutions and the core aspect of the CMS makes web applications maintainable and updatable for even a Novice Digital marketer for example.

It's ability to integrate SEO tools is also a bonus for the businesses who want to make a informational website that is updated without massive overheads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Umbraco?

It's completely customisable, opensource CMS. You can self host it or use Umbraco cloud or heartcore as a hosted solution. It's cross platform so you can run it on WIndows or Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

It takes some learning to do things right - but otherwise not much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Umbraco solving and how is that benefiting you?

Headless allows us to decouple and use the best solution on the backend and frontend. We use NextJS as frontend which gives us SSR and SEO benefits and fast deployments using Vercel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
