Concrete CMS

Pros: maning thing to say the content and page manaegament, the block system flexibility, the page's management, the easy way for the design development, and so on

Cons: perhaps the docs not completely done for new version

Pros: When I first started using it more than 10 years ago the field of CMS platforms was pretty rough. It had the best user interface for users to manage content. More recently others have imitated their approach but they still show their clumsy roots in a way C5 doesn't. Impressed by their commitment to update and upgrade over the years.

Cons: The transition to the latest version a few years ago was a tad rough (it was a major update), but it was worth it. Required starting over for most sites, though the old version still runs so disruption was minimal. The user forum needs a shakeup and update. Wish it was easier to manage lots of sites, but luckily they don't require much attention. Some template designers use tricks that undo the ease of use.

Pros: It has a wide range of features and can be easily customized and extended. Concrete5 serves as a framework.

Cons: It is not known very much in Germany, so it might happen that you have discussions in the selection process and have to prove more than with other systems that this CMS is the right choice.

Pros: Easy: installation, configuration, customization and to do improvements. A great community that help everyone in trouble (if hapens). Tons of add-ons and great numbers of theme options (could be more, but is ok).

Cons: A few options to customize a theme on core system and few themes selling on market place.

Pros: C5 allows you to set up either templated site frameworks or makes it fairly easy to adapt a scratch design to enterprise-level CMS. As a developer, I find set up easy and fairly intuitive. As a user and one who coordinates other users, I find it far superior to Wordpress in terms in managing and adding content. And, while no framework is bulletproof from a security standpoint, I've found C5 to be the best at preventing issues, easily backing up and easily restoring a site when stuff does happen.

Cons: There's a bit of a lag between the software's upgrades and PHP updates. Like Wordpress, functionality is managed via plugins created largely by independent developers. As host update PHP versions, there is frequently a disconnection between functionality and available/installed "stuff." In other words, the core C5 app may well be functional with an updated PHP version but the plugins in use will, on occasion, not keep up. That leaves short period of scrambling to either fix it yourself or make due until the fix is made.

Pros: - As a dev, the Page object (coupled with page attributes, nav menus and page lists) makes structuring a website or web app a dream. The separation of page templates from page types also helps, the former being about layout while the latter is more conceptual. - As an admin, you pretty much have as much control as the developers of the site decide to give you. - The versioning system allows admins to roll changes back and work on changes before publishing them. - The permissions system is exceptionally powerful, allowing roles and/or individual users to be included or excluded from each permission. - The attributes system allows pages, files and users to be given custom properties of various types (e.g. text, image, colour).

Cons: - Lack of a REST API for using as a headless CMS (although I believe this will change with the next major version). - No built-in way that I'm aware of to integrate React and/or Vue components. - No equivalent to Wordpress + Advanced Custom Fields' "repeater" fields for adding an indefinitely long list of page/file/user attributes.

Pros: Its ease of use and high quality looks. It has just enough addons to make everything work as it should and the community is there for you if you have any issues. Plus, since it is open source you can make changes where you need to or even make your own addons.

Cons: The addons market is a little on the small side, but Concrete5 is growing fast and that won't always be the issue. The ones that are there are of high quality.

Pros: It's versatility with blocks, stacks, add-ons, file sets, tree links. Wonderful to get the technical creative juices flowing!

Cons: Incomplete documentation. While it's largely 'computer intuitive' I still needed to go through some tutorials and documentation to get 'under the hood' understanding...

Pros: concrete5 delivers a complete content management system including WYSIWYG editing, forms etc. without the need for extensions to accomplish basic tasks. That said, concrete5 also provides an excellent modern php framework for further development and the marketplace provides a range of useful AddOn components.

Cons: Documentation has previously been criticised but this is improving steadily and Portland Labs recognise the need to continue this.

Pros: It is very easy to use, very easy to set up, very easy to develop

Cons: I am not pretty sure, there are not any special part that I am not satisfied...

Pros: Easy to set up content management system that takes very little web server resources

Cons: It has fewer themes and plugins needed to bring variety of choice

Pros: I generally found Concrete5 to be easy to install and quite extensible. There are a variety of themes available to customize the look of the site.

Cons: It is quite resource intensive. Errors in configuration may require a rollback to a prior backup. Some old extensions are still on the marketplace that are not compatible with the current version and aren't well marked what version they apply to.

Pros: Inline Editing, Workflows, Permissions, packaging system

Cons: Documentation is really bad, for developer and enduser

Pros: When our website was first built in this software we were thrilled. It was truly an upgrade from our former site. We could fairly easily make updates and changes. The website looked good, was mobile responsive (though not without issue) and was able to handle some plug-ins for some of the things we needed our site to be able to do.

Cons: Our site was built on a version that was already on the fast track to becoming obsolete. This was something we did not know, I'm not sure if the vendor we selected to build our site new that it was about to expire. At any rate, we had spent thousands of dollars to get this beautiful site and once it expired in 2019 we had no option but to start again from scratch. Costing our organization a great deal of hard earned donations.

Pros: Concrete5 CMS is written by those who love clean, secure code. Especially if you are wishing to write your own PHP code for special requirements, C5 is really the most solid and affordable solution out there!

Cons: The marketplace is smaller than other CMS like Wordpress.

Pros: Concrete5 is great for everything from simple websites to custom, complex, applications. The peer-reviewed marketplace offers out-of-the-box solutions that save plenty of time and cost less than developing on your own with many add-ons available for free. Community support is fantastic with user forums and projects, including an e-Commerce solution that is robust and inexpensive to run with no monthly fees (seriously, the best e-Commerce package you're going to find). Sites can be deployed quickly with minimal costs and end-users can be trained often in minutes instead of hours or days. The platform is secure and allows fine-tooth permissions control. Internationalization is handled too for those that need to display their sites in multiple languages. Self-hosted and Concrete5 hosted options are available and maintenance is usually easily managed at the user-level. Without question, Concrete5 is the perfect mix of power and usability to allow sites to be deployed quickly at a reasonable cost.

Cons: There can be a learning curve and the technology used in the background has grown more complex over the last few years. This is not to say that it can't be used by those with less technical knowledge, just that like with any CMS there is a learning curve and some occasional pitfalls.

Pros: Amazing and really well thought out CMS. Works out of the box, easy to setup and is packed with features so you don't need loads of plugins. Great for editors and very good for developers to build off. The code base is excellent. This has been design with the basic user in mind, the UX and UI is very well thought out and being able to edit content wihtin the page without having to go to a backend is very valuable. The team behind this CMS is constantly improving and updating it but not just fixing bugs, really user improvement. The community that supports it is vast and there is always someone on the forums to help you out.

Cons: There is not much to dislike, some of the documentation needs cleaning up for really development heavy code but it generally is a well made CMS with very little flaws

Pros: Le principal point fort est que le coeur du CMS Concrete embarque de manière native les fonctions essentielles pour une site vitrine. Vous n'avez pas besoin de plugin pour profitez d'une expérience d'édition agréable et intuitive. La solution est très flexible et permet une grande personnalisation du site.

Cons: Le faible choix des thèmes est un point faible. Aussi il existe assez peu de plugins de qualité lorsque l'on souhaite économiser du temps de développement.

Pros: Easy integration and good marketplace to get the third party integrations, also has the best templates for landing pages

Cons: Need more channels for seeking support service at the moment we using slack which is not easy to track messages

Pros: Powerful Backend Flexible CMS App and Date and admin Tools in one Place Integration in ways that is very smart and effective Use AI to provide insight

Cons: Not Very Popular and needs alot of awareness to see the beauty

Pros: What's not to like about Concrete5? It's intuitive, comprehensive in feature set, easy to set up, easy for clients to use, responsive, adaptable, and secure. The user community is supportive, helpful, and really, really smart. It has a lot of functionality built-in that you would need to add in apps like WordPress and Drupal. Licensing addons is unique because it is developer, not client, centered, so you could re-assign licenses and reuse addons and themes. So far, great!

Cons: Unfortunately there is no substantial developer ecosystem, which makes a great product even better. Not enough themes and addons for working with multiple clients, no way to test addons prior to purchase, unless you purchase and then return the product (which would really annoy me if I was a developer). As a site designer, it would be to your advantage to be comfortable working with code. File Manager could use some streamlining and speed. Many templates and addons have been around for a long time, and may be in need of updating to meet current web standards.

Pros: Creating a website was really quick and easy. In addition, Concrete 5 is very customisable with many theme choices.

Cons: Concrete 5 is a CMS, which may require more storage space than a hard coded HTML and CSS website. In addition, it requires a database.
