"Support Team is there to help customize your website to your needs!"
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

Onboarding team helps to make sure you know how to use the software and are set up for success.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

There are no outside Mura "how to" materials. If I have an issue, I have to go to support - the team is super helpful I just sometimes wish I could refer to materials for smaller questions rather than have to reach out to the team.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our last website was hard-coded and required a developer if we wanted to make any changes or build any new pages. Now, as a Marketer, I am able to build out new content myself!

"Web content platform with a lot of resources"
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

The things I like about this program is that is a versatile tool for content management solution and a cloud-based web hosting with providers like Amazon ready to be used right out of the box, allowing small and large industries to use it for running and manage websites without any issues. It offers a centralized platform for users to automate events, tasks, it has a safe development environment allowing the user to make quick fixes, improvements of functionalities and daily backups of the website.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

There are not many bad things you can say about the software, it is very intuitive and easy to understand and quickly jump into it, ion top of that it provides not only a solution for web hosting but as an educational and training platform for web developers. But like any cloud hosting-based software, they present their limitations in terms of the resources present in the purchased plan you choose. Customization is somewhat limited since you don't have an extensive palette of templates, at least for the basic plans.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mura CMS has greatly facilitated the programming part since i am not skilled enough with coding, it also has giving me the ease of choosing what i want to use on my page, extra features that I would want to add to stand out over the other blogs and generate more visitors, which is so important as a blogger. All this is so practical if you need to create a website to let's for a project that you want to develop and not having the time to spend in a course of months in order to obtain the minimum knowledge to program a website by yourself.

"Mura handles our needs very well..."
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

Mura has the flexibility to create highly customized sites, then hand off the day management of information to multiple people in your organization (having little to no web design experience).

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

Documentation tends to lag behind production, but most of what you need can be found online with a little digging.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We do a lot of information management using Mura. Everything from registration for our training events to tracking location information being reported by amateur radio weather spotters.

"Great experience"
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

Mura is easy to use and flexible. I enjoy working with it a ton. Honestly, though, what I like best about Mura is knowing there's an awesome team of people behind it, who are always quick to answer my questions.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

The Mura support community is strong, and answers to my basic questions about the platform are always available, but it isn't as big as some other options.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mura makes it easy for us to tell our story dynamically. Also, we have migrated much of our content from external sites (Flipbook, Eventbrite, and so on) seamlessly into our website, making our website's visitors' experiences more coherent.

"Mura as a Daily Driver"
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

Ease of use, open source, great documentation, top of the notch onsite and remote training, "Beans" (java term) as an organized structure of useful methods, Javascript framework

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

Steep learning curve, update structure, table structure

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We build sites for clients who need a fully tailored solution to their needs. We utilize the power to build just about anything in mura and make it scalable. Currently, our team is looking into making it fully headless and using mura solely as a backend solution and cannot wait to see the end results. They constantly update mura to keep up with times and create new frontend frameworks to make a developers life a little easier.

"A good cms for marketing manager"
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

The simplicity of building a mura page or forms or some other content with drag and drop UI make life a lot easier.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

The documentation is confusing and should be better organized.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm managing a network of 10 sites with less efforts then before. I really love the multisite option in Mura that let me manage every single site form one backend, I can share object between sites and Ii have less passwsord to remember. Also I need to manage one single database.

"Flexible CMS with frequent updates"
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

Really easy to build plugins when needed and theming makes customizations easy. Also site bundles and site-copying makes it easy to setup template websites to use as boiler plates for new customer sites.. Also multi-site tenancy in one instance is really great.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

The API could use a little more online documentation, but I've found you can often just look at the source code to solve most questions.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

One customer I have is an international fanclub stie, with many child / chapter sites. Mura makes it super easy to spin up chapter sites as those chapters come online.

"Great, extendable CMS platform"
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

Very powerful CMS functionality. Plugin architecture allows for extensive customisation and integration. Good admin UI which is relatively easy to train non technical users to use.

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

While decent documentation exists for how to use and extend the product, core functionality (i.e. the guts of how the system works) is not. This means that when something is not working as intended (esp. when extending and overriding core functionality) it can sometimes be hard to work out why. While Mura does contain a reasonable roles and permissions system, the permissions themselves are fixed - i.e. you can only set ~4 different levels of access to a section of content for a user role - which makes complete sense with respect to pages etc. but doesn't allow custom permissions to be set and used when extending using plugins - such as giving a particular role permission to undertake a custom action. This can be worked round by effectively hard coding a role within a plugin to have access to particular functionality - i.e. using the role as a permission - but does not allow the flexibility a true m:n:m user : roles : permissions hierarchy to be configured.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Mura as the core platform for content managed sites and applications. We develop the majority of the custom functionality our client's require for these systems as plugins within Mura, allowing us to integrate with numerous third party systems with minimal overhead.

"Mura CMS in the government, non-profit, and corporate spheres"
What do you like best about Mura CMS?

From a content manager's perspective, Mura is very simple to use, and yet has everything needed to build and maintain more intricate content, such as forms, galleries, calendars, right out of the box. As a designer, I like that Mura is integrated with Bootstrap, jQuery, LESS. As a developer, I like that Mura is open source and built in the powerful CFML language. As a manager, I like that Mura is free, as is the database (MySQL) and engine (Lucee) I run it on. The community is great also

What do you dislike about Mura CMS?

I'd prefer if more people used Mura. The sad fact is that it is not always the best program that is the most popular. I'd like if if I didn't have to explain what Lucee is, or correct all the misconceptions about CFML. I'd also like to see more comments in the open source code. That would help in understanding what is going on under the hood.

What problems is Mura CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am running Mura on government websites, non profit websites, and small business websites. We are using plugins, integrating existing applications, serving up data, promoting projects and programs - all packaged in modern themes.

The administrative user interface and the flexibility of template design. The user of Bootstrap for its theme and administration interface although you are not required to use bootstrap for your templates

We would like to have the option to publish a static version of our website or at least a hybrid version of it,.
