Umbraco CMS Reviews

Umbraco can be built and extended with C# (using Visual Studio), utilizes MVC framework, and is simple to setup. The newest version of Umbraco is being built with .NET Core, so it will likely get faster and continue to stay relevant in today's Microsoft .NET tech stack.

Occasional hiccups when starting are not uncommon. The errors provide less than ideal guidance on how to address them. Building your own property editor is done with Angular JS (older and less used as time goes on).

-Free to use and customize-Easy to scale- Has strong community support- Great management features

-Steep learning curve, especially for people unfamiliar with CMS software.-There is no official support and no drag-and-drop functionality.

For the purpose of what my position needed to accomplish in Umbraco, it was easy for me to enter event details which would then post onto companies website. It was useful being able to categorize by year, then save the industry events accordingly. Entering the event details was extremely easy and even allowed us to enter the events hosts URL, which was then viewable on the company website. Anytime I needed to delete or edit an event, it was easy to do so. Depending on your needs, Umbraco may be able to help you.

Unless I didn't figure this out, it would have been useful to be able to save the event allowing you to return to edit it (not post to website). More specifically, when I entered an event and needed to add a new event host name, I couldn't just save the entry, go to the tab to create a new host name and return to complete the entry. Instead, I had to reenter the event details after I created the new hosts name. Another suggestion would be to add the option of alphabetizing under the tabs or lists. Other than that, everything else was on point.

Umbraco provides a lot of flexibility in setting up your website to give end users exactly how much or how little control and power over the content as you would like to provide them. It is very extendable with the ability to create about every type of web site you can imagine. It is built on microsoft .net currently which allows many developers to be able to dive in quickly to create solutions.

The learning curve is higher than some other CMS's out there but with that comes the extra ability to customize it more than other sites as well. The back end admin side is also light on Accessibility features at least up until version 8.14 or so.

Ease of use, visual architecture/understanding where you were editing at all times, ability to access back-end configurations but logic to understand where they were located/how it related to front-end was extremely helpful. Good separation of code / content areas. Excellent media management and CDN with dynamic updating when an image/media file was replaced. Automation and features easily accessible/intuitive. Best user interface of any CMS on the market.

The cache seemed to work differently (better) but within a larger IT framework the cache caused a lot of issues in workflows overall. Everything else was the best.

Easy to use and easier to train other colleagues to use

Basic functionality at times. Content pages could offer more features. Least thing i like is when you deploy to courier a set of pages, Umbraco isn't clever enough to understand what needs to be deployed in a certain order. Therefore links become broken and you have to re-link post courier and then courier again.

What I liked the most was how intuitive it is. For the most part it was very straight forward to building our new public website using widgets and how it is structured. It is a much better CMS than our previous site.

It does have some interesting quirks, as most do. If you've made too many changes in a row things slow down and you need to refresh to keep it from randomly autofilling places you've already typed, but once you know what you need to do, it's not too bad.

Easy to use and integrate with our tech stack

Could do with a better way for UX to create and deploy engaging and enriched content experiences without code

We use Umbraco to manage our websites, it's a great CMS that makes managing a large and popular website slightly easier!

The system would really benefit from some additional plugins that allow for the backend to be easily customized by admins as user needs change.

Solid in performance (obviously a must for a CMS), but still very flexible. I worked on a project for a v large client who wanted to be able to make changes to their content from outside of Umbraco's ecosystem. Umbraco was flexible enough that we were able to develop a dynamic block and control this from our own external app.

As with most apps of this type it can sometimes take a while to get used to the flow of things. Umbraco isn't the most approachable here - but it's absolutely not the worst.

I am reviewing this solely based in being a content editor - I find this CMS incredibly easy to us. There are no licensing costs. Once given a demo, our clients find it easy to use. It is hands down, our development teams preference for coding in. And any time we've needed help, our CTO has had great support from the company.

I don't have any complaints about using Umbraco.

Easy to use and preview work as you go to make amends and collaborate with colleagues.

Can be slow at times and often won't work well if multiple users are performing similar tasks at the same time.

Umbraco is a full featured CMS with many useful features. As knowledge grows with use of the product so too will utilization. The documentation and user forums are quite helpful. When building a site, it's preview function is useful to visualize how your site will look on different devices, quickly.

As this is a full featured products, the learning curve is a bit steep for beginners.

Easy to use, often self-explanatory. Always finding more and more helpful features.

Regular bugs when looking to upload images or deploy pages.

It's much easier to use than a CMS I had used previously. 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.

I haven't come across anything I dislike so far!

Ich kann wirklich keine Vorteile erkennen. Es gibt andere viel bessere CMS

Das CMS ist wirklich nichts für alle die sich ein bisschen Benutzerfreundlichkeit wünschen. Der Aufbau ist absolut wirr und macht teilweise keinen Sinn. Wenn man ein Problem hat sucht man lange nach Lösungen, oft ohne dafür eine Antwort zu kriegen oder man muss sich wieder an den Entwickler wenden. Dieses CMS kann ich nicht empfehlen. Vielleicht wenn man sich gerne viel mit Entwicklung auseinandersetzt aber dann muss man sagen, ist der Ertrag den man für die Zeit und die Leistung reinsteckt jämmerlich. Von mir aus gesehen fehlen auch die absoluten Basics die ein "Freundliches" CMS haben muss. Überlegt es euch gut. Ich nerv mich schon seit Monaten weil ich für einen Kunden der Umbraco benutzt das Online Marketing machen darf.

Umbraco è stato il primo software con cui ho approcciato il mondo dei CMS e devo dire che mi sono trovata molto bene per la sua immediatezza in ogni suo aspetto. Tra i punto a favore di questa piattaforma ci sono sicuramente il fatto che sia open-source, sia scritta in .NET e sia gratuita.

Aggiungerei la possibilità di scrivere i testi anche in HTML.
