What differentiates Joomla! from other similar products?

You can do anything with Joomla, it also allows you not only to control which users can access which pages but also to create custom groups and have unique access per group. WordPress can't do that without a third-party plugin.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is easy to install. It takes a few minutes from installation, it has a large number of modules that are easy to install, configure and use, its code is highly manipulable, it performs automatic updates very easily with the click of a button. Vulnerabilities are quickly patched with push notifications.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The learning curve is a bit steep. The jooma community is smaller than other popular CMS's therefore it lacks as many options for third-party developers, which means it can be a bit more difficult to find the right extension for what you need to accomplish.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is a CMS for all kinds of projects, even if you need to scale in the future, it has the ability to control access to different articles, categories, or even different components, making it a great tool for businesses of all sizes.

Pros

Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
