What do you dislike about Magnolia?

Magnolia CMS tool doesn’t support a good administrative panel and even the paid version is very time taking. Thus, there are some amendments that even the premium version needs because this one doesn’t worth the price. There come the incompatibility issues and several installations, management plus plugin issues. Therefore, the developers should address these issues as soon as possible.

"Magnolia has assisted us with making gigantic enhancements to our advanced capabilities."
What do you like best about Magnolia?

It is among the easiest-to-use CMS tools for laying out and creating current sites and applications. It permits me to completely coordinate our items or maybe have a portion of the perspectives discrete. It is explicitly intended for your broad consolidation. Simply an open-source administration enables cloud services. There's no data redundancy, and it's easy to use. Since it is cloud-based software, it can be accessed from anywhere at any time. It contains a backup that offers you extra space and prevents content material from being compromised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

It lacks the administrative interface and shows no interaction details. Implementing the administrative interface is a complex task. Upgrading from previous versions is costly and time-consuming. Many of its releases are incompatible with past versions. It would be difficult to remove any module. You'll need two datasets, one for shared folders and one for everything else. The administrative interface is very difficult to use. The initial installation of Magnolia CMS seemed to be complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Magnolia Fast, Robust, and Reliable"
What do you like best about Magnolia?

Magnolia CMS guarantees extremely smooth coordination with a few outsider applications. It is strong, quick, and dependable. With magnolia, we can now effectively make pages and oversee content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

Magnolia's group needs to zero in more on rolling out new improvements as change is the only thing that is steady and takes into account the speed at which the contenders give refreshes. Aside from that, we have not noticed any deficiencies in the device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"the best and stable CMS platform that I know"
What do you like best about Magnolia?

User-friendly platform. Fast, scure and stable. It is a very good product. I recommend you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

The absence of an administrative interface and the lack of process details are notable limitations of Magnolia. Integrating an administrative interface can be a challenging and intricate undertaking. Upgrading from previous versions can be costly and time-consuming, particularly due to compatibility issues between certain editions. Removing plugins can also pose difficulties. Additionally, managing Magnolia CMS requires handling two separate datasets—one for shared folders and another for remaining content. The administrative interface itself is considered complex and challenging to navigate. Furthermore, the initial installation process of Magnolia CMS may appear intricate and demanding.

"A strong and stable CMS platform!"
What do you like best about Magnolia?

Among the most user-friendly CMS platforms for establishing and developing modern websites and apps. It allows me to entirely integrate our products or perhaps have some of the aspects separate. It is specifically designed for your extensive incorporation. It's just an open-source service that empowers cloud services. There's no data redundancy, and it's simple to utilize. Because it is cloud-based software, it can be accessed from everywhere at any time. It contains a backup that offers you extra room and prevents content material from being corrupted.

"Best content management tool"
What do you like best about Magnolia?

Magnolia is a powerful and robust content management system that helps create custom apps and helps store the data in those apps. It is secure and provides multisite support. It is an open-source platform that provides cloud storage and multi-level security. It also prevents any data loss and due to the presence of a web-based app, it is easier to access it from anywhere. My favourite feature of Magnolia is multi-site management as it helps to manage multiple sites in one place without any hassle. This saves a lot of time for developers as well as solution architects. Another feature I love is it provides smooth content migration which makes the whole process very efficient and hassles free. It also provides multilingual support which basically helps in the wider reach of our product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

Magnolia user interface is complex to understand which can make its customer lose interest in using it. Magnolia must have a discussion forum to clear the doubts of their clients and to have a healthy discussion about new features and their usage. Also while using angular js with magnolia the whole process becomes very slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes if we have update template and other layout related things for example replacing of textbox control with drop down box or list box with some default value, it will update other component alignment as well and forcefully need CSS change externally to handle user interface rest things well and good.

"My experience of using with magnolia for 1 year"
What do you like best about Magnolia?

I liked the ability to create custom apps, store data in those apps. It reduces the overhead of adding a new database and gives more customisation power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

Using react or angular with magnolia makes it very slow. Most of the UI development must be done using plain html and jquery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
