The Best Enterprise-Grade CMS ... As Long As You're a Developer
Reviewed on 2022/04/07

I found TYPO3 from a website called the CMS Matrix. I was looking for a CMS that had every single feature. TYPO3 was the only option as other CMSs either didn't have the feature or it wasn't even available as an add-on. I'm happy to report that I made the right choice. It's important to note that in North America, TYPO3 doesn't get much attention because documentation and/or promotion is limited, but it has survived the rise and fall of other CMSs like Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, and of course WordPress (the blog with a million plugins). You can tell the attention to detail that's been put into TYPO3 by looking at it very structured code. As frustrated as I get with it, it truly is enterprise-grade.
Pros
In the 17+ years of using this software, I have built my company around it. When I get pinned by a client asking if they can do something custom, I don't even need to think about it - the answer is always YES. It's infinitely more powerful, secure, and customizable than other CMSs, and with an open source base you can do anything you want. It can be simplified for small business customers or opened up for corporate accounts.
Cons
Being a German program, most support - which can be very limited - is in another language. Further, the upgrades are done without any consideration for extension developers. It is expected that developers have to redo their extension as opposed to TYPO3 supporting it. Lately, the changes in upgrades have become so sweeping that thousands of extensions are no longer compatible. It's so bad that my company has had to invest tens of thousands of dollars into R&D to build our own extensions because we can't expect open source extensions to stay current with the T3 upgrade cycle. I really don't know why it needs to come to such careless upgrades: again, it on;y happened recently and before this (i.e. v.8) TYPO3 was doing everything right. Also, TYPO3 uses a configuration language called TYPOscript that turns off a lot of people because it's a whole new world of proprietary code to learn. However, it saves on a lot. Lastly, frontend editing - probably the biggest feature that makes wix, squarespace, etc. so popular - has taken a back seat since v.8 when it was making huge strides with extensions like Aloha (which, you guessed it, are now obsolete because of the upgrade).
Reasons for Switching to TYPO3
TYPO3 has every feature either built-in or available as a plugin. The same can be said for others but unlike others, TYPO3 has many built-in. The backend layout makes sense and new users can easily visualize their site as a page tree just like Windows Explorer. We can increase/decrease the user interface by permission and/or skill level. We can integrate any design we want to code our own template relatively easily.

Complex to implement and to use
Reviewed on 2024/02/28
Pros
It's somewhat stable but basically that's it
Cons
Compared to many other CMS on the market, this one is not simple to implement and the complexity of using it is somewhat big. Also, to create customizations in code it has a steep learning curve, which makes it not ideal for whoever wants to customize it
