Pros

“You can structure things cleanly, scale sites as needed, and maintain consistency across multiple environments without a lot of overhead.”

Bradley R.

IT Director

“Extension quality can also vary. While the ecosystem is a strength, not all third-party plugins are maintained equally, so you have to be selective and stay on top of updates to avoid issues.”

Bradley R.

IT Director

“Joomla is robust in it’s flexibility for a wide range of uses for developing even complex websites. If you are looking for a wide range of capabilities this is great software choice.”

Kathryn P.

Owner

Pros

“Open Source eCommerce platform with free native options for multilingual management and advanced logistics/tax management to sell online internationally in multiple languages in different countries without the need for additional modules”

Jose A.

Consultant

“The Open Source version requires initial installation/configuration and ongoing updates, making it a more technical process with significant compatibility issues with older versions, modules, and themes.”

Jose A.

Consultant

“Solid software, easy shop setup and multi-currency support with a very intuitive administrator dashboard.”

Damian G.

CTO

Cons

“The biggest drawback is that it can be a bit heavier to manage compared to simpler CMS platforms.”

Bradley R.

IT Director

“It's too complex to be suited to building a small business website. ”

Thom H.

Retired Guy building website for fun

“Joomla was quite disappointing to us, however, this is likely due to our lack of knowledge surrounding the product.”

David C.

IT Engineer

Cons

“some Plugins can be costly when trying to setup a feed for example”

Anwar B.

Senior Technical Specialist

“Prices can be an obstacle for small startups or small businesses”

Pedro M.

Owner

“Some users may find it overwhelming and require additional training to use it effectively. While PrestaShop offers a range of add-ons and modules to extend its functionality, some of these add-ons can be expensive or may not be compatible with the latest version of the platform.”
