TYPO3 Software Reviews

Pros

It's fairly stable but that's about it.

Cons

Compared to many other CMS options, this one isn't easy to implement and its complexity can be overwhelming. The steep learning curve for custom coding also makes it challenging for those who want to personalize it.

Pros

As a project manager it was easy to train my clients on how to manage the CMS.

Cons

The responsive version of the back office could use some improvement, in my opinion.

Pros

The website administration was so userfriendly and easy and made our work very easy.

Cons

Its graphic design of the back office feels a little outdated.

Pros

It offers great modularity that also allows for advanced customization of websites.

Cons

I think the interface seems excessive for simpler projects.

Pros

It provide special security features and regular updates and is definitely a plus.

Cons

Some tasks are relatively complex and require more advanced technical skills.

Pros

I really liked the news generation feature for blogs.

Cons

It's unfortunate that the open source version is limited to PHP.

Pros

It's true that it's open source and has a large community of programmers but it's still lacking some basic functionality.

Cons

It's difficult to learn quickly. I would recommend it to people with more experience but not beginners.

Pros

Typo3 is perfect for those looking for unlimited customization. The platform can be tailored to meet clients' needs and the community is impressive with lots of free resources and modules available. It's secure and fast!

Cons

There's a noticeable learning curve for both developers and users. You need technical expertise to really work with it.

Pros

I really appreciate the segmentation of access rights for contributors, also it offers easy integration of plugins, and fairly user-friendly filing plan.

Cons

The rigidity when it comes to modifying the CSS and the user interface can be frustrating as it's not very user friendly.

Pros

Loved it for its high-end customization features. Everything can be done with it, and the backend is very intuitive. Amazing!

Cons

The community is quite small, so non-tech people may feel lost when they need help.

Pros

Typo3 is a very secure CMS, which is a deciding factor for many. It makes creating a website simple even for those without coding knowledge.

Cons

User interface isn't the most suitable and the user experience could definitely use some improvement. Typo3 could really benefit from a refresh, as some problems could have been solved much more easily with other CMSs on the market.

Pros

What I like most about Typo3 is its flexibility and possibilities. It's more than just a CMS; it's more like a CMF. It's really great but definitely not easy to use and not for everyone.

Cons

I spent a lot of time doing things with Typo3 that are much easier to implement in other apps. The user interface, user experience and technical documentation are all major issues for me.

Pros

The best part about Typo3 is its easy-to-use and intuitive interface. It's really smooth and there are many extensions available in the market to add features.

Cons

The documentation is unclear and can confuse developers.

Pros

I liked how it gave me the freedom to create pages quickly and easily. It's also great for managing multi brand and multi language websites, adaptable to any kind of business.

Cons

The UX is unappealing and it's hard to use and explain to colleagues who aren't tech savvy. This caused some fear of using the platform. The small Typo3 community also makes it difficult to find help online.

Pros

Typo3's easy customization functionality makes it the best CMS for building websites. It's free, open source and highly secure compared to other CMS options.

Cons

While I like all the features, this CMS can be quite costly for small business owners. The pricing plans could be more cost effective and it requires a skilled person with technical knowledge to use it properly.

Pros

In the 17+ years I've used this software, I've built my company around it. When a client asks for custom features, I don't even hesitate, the answer is always YES. It's more powerful, secure, and customizable than other CMSs and its open-source nature allows for endless possibilities. It can be simplified for small businesses or expanded for corporate clients.

Cons

Being a German program, most support is in a different language. Also upgrades often ignore extension developers, forcing them to redo their extensions. The recent sweeping changes have made many extensions incompatible, leading to significant costs for companies to build their own. The proprietary TYPOscript language also deters many people from using it. Additionally, frontend editing, which is popular with platforms like Wix and Squarespace, has taken a back seat since version 8, as many of the extensions are now obsolete due to the upgrades.

Pros

The CMS is easy to customize to meet your specific business requirements.

Cons

It requires a developer's help as without technical knowledge, it's hard to use effectively.

Pros

This tool is highly flexible and allows for customization to meet site requirements. It's great for larger websites.

Cons

Typo3 can be quite complex for users with no technical background.
