"One of the most robust, stable, secure, feature-rich CMSs on the market."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."

"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing or information sharing."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"I would like to see more back-end admin power pulled into the front-end, therefore the admins will not have to use the back-end as much, especially for the menu manager, user manager, etc. versus using third-party extensions to achieve this."
"I would like to see the same sorting and attributes available through the web browser on the JED (sorting by free or commercial license, sort by rating, popularity, etc.) within the back-end Joomla Web Installer when browsing extensions."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"It will fully use your system resources."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
