What do you like best about XOOPS CMS?

Modularity: Xoops' modular design allows flexibility in adding features and customizing functionality. Various modules and themes already exist to easily integrate, though litle older. Easy to setup, modify and use with UI wizards to begin with. I only used it few times for older projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XOOPS CMS?

Limited Features: XOOPS lacks some advanced features compared to modern CMS platforms. Outdated: Xoops is a bit outdates type. Not very compititive in today's world, in my personal opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about XOOPS CMS?

Ive been using XOOPS CMS for a while now and I have to say it has made many problems. There are options in the realm of Content Management Systems (CMS) XOOPS remains a poor contender. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XOOPS CMS?

It does not receive the level of support and updates as some of its competitors. It needs to provide all the necessary features I require. XOOPS CMS falls behind in keeping up with the evolving market trends and lacks capabilities offered by other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It works well for to sized projects but struggles to meet the demands of larger scale endeavours. Its limited module selection is difficult, requiring consideration before installation.

What do you like best about XOOPS CMS?

It's fairly easy to create a custom theme and control the visual aspect using CSS. the modularity of the system allowing you to scale it as needed, without impacting performance visibly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XOOPS CMS?

In all fairness, there are other CMSes that raised above the bar and remained on the market as leaders. Support, updates are lacking and when I started working with Xoops, WordPress was acting as a plugin for it. Currently, WP is a leader in the CMS field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering XOOPS CMS:

It's suitable for small to medium size projects, but I'm certain there are other tools that would fit the bill much better. The market and opportunities went beyond the level that Xoops offered when we met. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I managed to create a community way before Facebook was a thing. I delivered turnkey websites that withstood the test of time and brought value to my clients.

- Easy installation with no much hassle

- Lots and lots of available modules to add to the core system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XOOPS CMS?

What do you like best about XOOPS CMS?

Es un producto con mucha experiencia ya que lleva bastante tiempo en el mercado. Su instalación es bastante sencilla, ya que al estar basado totalmente en web solo es necesario un servidor web (apache por ejemplo) y el motor de base de datos mysql, todo lo cual es libre y gratuito. Esta basado completamente en móduclos, con lo cual si no se tiene el módulo necesario siempre es buscarlo entre productos de terceros e incluso crearlo nosotros mismos si disponemos de los conocimientos necesarios Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XOOPS CMS?

Aunque tiene un sistema de interfaz basado en temas, el aspecto visual se ha quedado un poco antiguo y necesita de gran trabajo de diseño para darle un aspecto moderno. El panel de administración a veces es un poco confuso y se necesita un periodo de adaptación Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering XOOPS CMS:

Realizar pruebas en preproduccion y entornos de desarrollo para verificar si cumple los requerimientos básicos necesarios, ya que hay otros productos en el mercado (incluso gratuitos) con mayores funcionalidades e interfaces de usuario mas vistosas y amigables Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xoops installation is simple but to really take advantage of its power you will need to install a number of modules which is Unfortunately time consuming and some of the documentation for these modules is seriously lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

na Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The basic installation installs very few modules, so the administrator will have to search the Xoops site to find enough modules to really make the Xoops install useable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
