Very simple and straightforward to understand how to use the website editing tools. Allows for quick and efficient updates to be made which in my current role is beneficial as it is one less thing to worry about.
During busy periods I may be using the website editing on Umbraco several times a day and due to the ease of use I am able to do these in no time and get on with the rest of my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Limited customisation options with the version of Umbraco I access.
Some tools, such as editing a central blcok, can be dififcult when you have to include a lot of information/tables as some of the information is cut off in the small editing box now provided.
Difficulty adding/accessing images to use on webpage edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Umbraco is an incredibly flexible CMS system. Their community is excellent, and as a partner with Umbraco, we have always been pleased to use their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There aren't many downsides to Umbraco, but one of the few is when it is not used as intended. For example, if developers choose to use plugins that are not designed for Umbraco, it can lead to issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Umbraco is likely one of the most flexible and customizable CMS systems on the .NET platform, allowing developers to create a tailormade experience for the content editors maintaining a website or application based on the CMS.
While Umbraco primarily considered a website platform, it is however not limited to that, as it can be used as a base for many other solutions ranging from apps, webshops, inventory management, internal tooling and many other things.
Its flexible API allows for easy integrations with external APIs to enrich content and enhance the editor experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Allowing for so much customization also allows inexperienced developers to deliver bad solutions and customer experiences due to less guardrails being in place. The way that many things are made simple, can lead to developers building solutions that seem to work, but when needing to scale - simply aren't made for this due to lack of a proper underlying architecture.

A flexible, open source CMS system, with built in headless support and an extensive community of extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Legacy support could last longer - v8, which has a lot of sites still running should remain supported for longer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
i like how flexible umbraco is for example it allows the user to create data types and data types within data types. it has makes it easy to reuse documents when creating multiple pages. and the user interface is very simple and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
umbraco was the first cms ive used so i found the learning curve a bit steep at the very beginning, there are some good tutorials online that helped but the community isnt very big but hopefully that can change with time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Umbraco is the perfect system to develop and manage websites, especially if the running of the site will be undertaken by non-technical personnel.
The power of the platform is matched by the ease of use that you can implement in the content management for users. There's no limit to the type or size of website you can develop with Umbraco, I have been using it for over 15 years to develop global high traffic websites.
Umbraco Cloud is the perfect introduction to Umbraco, especially for those with limited IT resources as you can quickly spin up an instance without hosting your own infrastructure. Plus you get access to their superb customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly I could not name many things I dislike about Umbraco. If I had to name a downside, it would be that sometimes there can be a steep learnng curve for new technical users, but this again is offset by the supperb support and ease of integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Umbraco's ease of use is something that stands out, along with the features that you can easily implement on the site. Having moved from wordpress it took a little bit of time to adapt and get used to but it offers so much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It relies more heavily on having/being a developer than wordpress so as a user we are limited to what time our developer has to implement changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Admin panel is user friendly, users like it.
2. Grid editor.
3. Built on top of .NET anc C#.
4. A lot of plugins.
5. It's open source.
6. Good community, you can find a lot of information on forums and Youtube.
7. Extensibility (you can cuztomize backend, build you own App Plugins etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Multi-domain / multi-language feature is not very convenient (but it gets better from version to version).
Documentation is not bad, but it would be great to have topics with examples on various parts of functionality (e.g. search etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Umbraco is an easy to use cms. It has a great user interface and really great add ons and packages to choose from to fit your every need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I cannot think of many downsides as whenever I do find something I dislike, I can quickly find a solution! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
