What do you like best about Umbraco?

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.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

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.

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

Easy to use and manage content in a user friendly display. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Niels Laursen of Umbraco

Thank you for your review! We truly appreciate your feedback on Umbraco's ease of use and the rich features it offers. We understand that relying on a developer can be a limitation. But we are glad you liked the switch to utilizing a powerful open-source CMS that balances flexibility and functionality with performance. We encourage you to explore our community, add-ons and resources, where you might find time-saving tips and support.

What do you like best about Umbraco?

Pretty much anything is possible, as long as you read the documentation and spend the necessary time!

It is so easy to use, maybe not right out of the box, but once it's started, nothing can stop it.

Coming from a WordPress environment, there are many features that make Umbraco better and easier to implement and integrate. Implementation is always quick amd easy. Every website I've done in the past years use Umbraco, so it is worth learning and switching over!

I work on it pretty much everyday at the office.

I've never contacted the Support service, but looking at forums and threads, they seem quick and very reliable. I am confident that if I ever have doubts about something on Umbraco, they will help me the best they can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

Nothing to complain about Umbraco, unless the efforts I had to make to learn Razor. Coming from a multimedia environment, I knew some C#. But there's still that learning curve. It is not that steep, but it's there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

No need to run updates and security prevention tools such as in WordPress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chloé of Umbraco

Hey Dhanesh, thanks very much for this glowing review 🌟

We hear your feedback about upgrading versions - we intend for this to get easier now that our release cadence is aligned with Microsoft's releases for .NET 6, ASP.NET 6, C# 10, and beyond. We're also aware of the issues with AngularJS being EOL, and rest assured we are currently working to implement a new framework-agnostic backoffice that will allow you more flexibility (blog linked below).

We welcome you to our growing Community of 220,000k+ developers, many of whom are available on Twitter and the Our forum to answer questions about high-level configurations. Just search the hashtag #Umbraco! 🤩

See how Umbraco improved

The CMS is very clear and easy to use, and navigating around is a breeze. Very quick and responsive much better than most cms, if you are looking for cms to use this is the one to go with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I can think of is having to upload media content separately when adding content onto a page but hopefully this feature could be added in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides you a lot of great features that you should be using (Content managing, Multilanguage, Reports, Integration with cloud), if you have a web site and you would like to manage the content of it umbraco is the content manager system for this situation, it is easy to use, there is not issue or problem that you will have at the moment of integrate umbraco with other technologies as react or angular, because you could use it as a headless cms. It's easy implementation make me use umbraco every day on every project that work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to make changes to the backoffice of Umbraco, I mean I would like to create a button on the backoffice to generate a pdf or excel file of the reports of the users that make changes in the content of my web site, and there's not a straight forward way to make changes on the backoffice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that there could be more documentation provided by us as a community, because sometimes is a little bit difficult when there are some issue and there are not enough documentation about common problems and I don't mean that the documentation that is on the umbraco's web site is not a good one, what I mean is that the community should provide solution or they approach to the common problems that we have when working with umbraco. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Umbraco?

Writing as a non technical user, I love how easy it is to use. I don't come from an IT backbround but I find it very easy and intuitive to add content and images and make changes to clients sites as and when they need. It is one of our selling features for promoting Umbraco websites... if I can do it, so can you!

If there isn't the option for something I want to do, my husband can easily write the code to add the feature. It's brilliant! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Umbraco?

I can't really think of any other than if i need a new feature or something doesn't do what I want it to I need to ask for help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is allowing us to provide a CMS which is easy to use and really low maintenance for our end users. It's just so simple to use and I don't understand why more people don't use it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
