Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Wordpress, Adobe and others in Web Content Management."The speed in which you can take a CMS and make it a full-blown shopping cart with analytics tracking, SEO, user accounts, security, and ease of use through a robust framework of modules and plugins to enhance and promote-related content is about as turnkey as it gets with Joomla."
"One of the most robust, stable, secure, feature-rich CMSs on the market."
"Information is much more readily available."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals."
"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."
"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."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"It will fully use your system resources."
