Mura CMS Reviews & Product Details

Mura is amazing at creating modern digital websites quickly. I have created specific-purpose websites in a matter of hours using responsive themes. On the other end of the spectrum, Mura is highly customizable. The class extension manager allows you to create forms with any feature you can imagine. You can then power those features further by adding CFML. I am not a programmer and can extend Mura's powerful out-of-the-box features quite easily. Beyond web sites, Mura is what I use as the CMS under my modern web app development. I like to combine MEAN stack-style functionality to Mura CMS. As a 30-year veteran of the tech game, I find the fact that Mura is offered for free to be quite mind-boggling. I would have killed for this amazing mix of features, extensibility and reliability decades ago.

As a non-programmer, setting up Mura is difficult for me. I tend to rely on Mura webhosts to get all the settings correct. I find setting up a local dev box time consuming. I'm also disappointed the Mura community has not grown faster over the last 6 years. It deserves a wider audience. I think that if Angular or ReactJS replaced jQuery as the base JS library/framework, it might get more attention.

I use Mura for websites that serve up training professional development. I have added custom training widgets to the Mura framework in order to use it as a learning content management system (LCMS).

From a support point of view, we have almost no calls from our end-users. Their ability to pick up the product immediately was a huge plus. The development team helped us roll out integration with LDAP and we were good to go from there.

Even though I'm an avid ColdFuser, there are some limits to the amount of plug-ins available when compared with some other packages or languages. I had a harder learning curve initially when writing customizations, but once the initial curve was done I haven't had any issues.

We have our intranet based exclusively on Mura and have been using one version or another for several years. Good feedback from all involved. Have different sites broken out for various user groups and have had no problem with maintenance.

I like the rich feature set included right 'out of the box'. You really can start right away without much customization. But I also really appreciate how extendable it is for developers to mold to customers business needs.

Nothing to dislike about Mura, except the don't ship In-N-out from their HQ in Sacramento.

Corporate websites, corporate intranets. Quick spin up time after initial setup. Very extendable for my clients custom requests to meet their business requirements.

The usability and easiness of using Mura CMS, as well as all the functionality that comes out-of-the-box. All of my clients that use Mura CMS to maintain their website have no issue getting used to the administrator interface and I therefor have very little work supporting them.

There is only a limited amount of themes and plugins available on the market. But since it's so easy to create your own or to convert an Bootstrap theme, you can get around this very easily. The same counts for the plugins. Nearly everything you might need is already available out-of-the-box and if not, Mura CMS is easily extendable.

I've bootstrapped a lot of websites very quickly with Mura CMS. And the great thing is that, once the sites get bigger, Mura CMS keeps a perfect solution to work with.

Mura has allowed us to quickly update content on the fly and build new pages in hours instead of weeks. One thing that my team enjoys using is the change-set feature. This has allowed us to create temporary changes to the website that are easy to roll-back. It seems the sky is the limit with Mura in terms of your creativity and your vision.

Our implementation was bumpy as we transitioned from our old platforms to Mura. We made our deadline but my team had to put in a lot of extra work that we were not planning on to get there.

Ownership and control over our website. Ability to make quick changes. Personalization and ABM experiences.

Mura CMS has a great feature set and is very easy to customize to meet site requirements. It has a long history and is about to release version 7. The development team behind the product is fantastic and eager to help potential developers and users of the platform.

As it is CFML-based, it does not have the adoption rate of some other CMS's available. This limits the plugins that exist in the wild when compared to other platforms such as Wordpress and Drupal.

I use Mura CMS to run a large non-profit website that features many different types of content, forms and e-commerce capabilities. Mura has added features over time and allowed us to provide more functionality for our staff and end users. We have also worked with the developers, Blue River Interactive, on a responsive theme for our site and they were a pleasure to work with.

Мура нічого не важко використовувати і адаптувати. Я ціную роботу з нею тонну. У вас буде більшість апаратів, які вам можуть знадобитися, щоб максимально використати сайти, які ви повинні зробити для кожного клієнта. Фронтальні зміни та формати роблять його менш вимогливим, щоб отримати те, що вам потрібно від Мурa. Ви можете змінити все, як вам подобається, що є великим. Це також неймовірно стійкий, ніколи не розбитий.

Документація велика, але може бути краще. Визначення того, як виконувати деяку корисність часто вимагає просіювання через різні Як новий вихід з нового клієнта, я був в залежності від онлайнової документації і обговорення мережі google, щоб дізнатися, і я регулярно відчуваю труднощі знайти саме те, що Мені потрібно. Збори.

Мура робить нам простим перерахувати нашу історію поступово. Крім того, ми перенесли багато нашої речовини з зовнішніх напрямків (Flipbook, Eventbrite і т.д.) послідовно на наш сайт, роблячи зустрічі гостей нашого сайту більш розумними.

It's very easy and intuitive to use and build sites with

Nothing at the moment as it's early days

N/A

I like that I am able to delegate a lot of my web development roles to those who are less technical by giving them access to portions of code that make sense to them through Mura's interface.

I am still unable to create custom error pages using Mura 7 after having reported the bug a few months ago.

I am able to modify content created through Mura with its own style sheet while simultaneously using an 'm' tag to call content with nested styles. It's great to be able to edit this content with CKEditor through the Mura interface. It saves me time and categorizes more simply.

Mura occupies a unique niche in the CMS space as general purpose Enterprise CMS that doesn't try to be all things to all people. As a result, it becomes extremely easy to setup and configure without all of the cruft of features that will never need to be used for most purposes. Its API leaves plenty of ways to implement custom plugins and capabilities.

Perhaps the only thing I disliked at first was the difficulty I had assigning new themes to it. This was before Mura adopted its own theming standards. While I understood their intention at the time, it ended up making theming projects much more difficult for developers. Since then, Mura has adopted its own theming standards which make it far easier to develop and customize.

Small to Medium-sized businesses with needs for intranets, public facing site, and e-Commerce (with Slatwall)

As a marketing professional, I want a website that looks clean, user-friendly and professional. However, I don't want to spend time on coding or development. Mura removes the burden of learning the technical skills and allows me to focus on what I do best.

I would've liked if there were help resources available: tutorials, tips for optimization, best practices, etc.

Before switching to Mura, our team ran into difficulties being able to easily and seamlessly add content to our website due to coding and technical restrictions. The Mura platform allows our team of marketing professionals to act more autonomously.

Stability and performance are usually top notch. Ease of use is also high.

The new licensing model makes it impossible to maintain, moving from open source to a very steep licensing model forces us to rebuild our running sites on a different CMS and spending quite a bit of money on the migration as we cannot offer our customers a CMS that doesn't get security updates anymore

Simple and complex websites for our customers

Mura CMS provides superior customization and flexibility in website design & development and integrates well with other platforms so you really do have complete control over the entire website experience.

It would be nice to have more detailed documentation in some specific instances, but Mura Support is excellent. Our organization is very pleased with their product and will be using Mura for many years to come.

We needed customized layouts and design to integrate an older event calendar system into our website seamlessly, and Mura handled it beautifully.

MURA is highly customizable CMS, although a strong knowledge of HTML, CSS, and ColdFusion is beneficial.

Lack of quality plugins can be frustrating.

Moved from an all static website to the Mura Content Management System.

Easy to use and set up. Great user interface. I like mura as it allows me to customize according to my requirements which really makes it a powerful tool.

Nothing to dislike. I have not faced any issues with Mura. It works perfectly!

Use it to develop website and pages for the client.

Mura is very simple to use yet super powerful. The fact that we can use an unlimited number of sites with a single Mura installation is a must that allows us to host many language versions of the same site very easily. What I like the most in Mura is the comprehensiveness of the feature set. It means that we need very few plugins (if any at all) to run exactly the site we need, which makes updating the system a breeze. The front-end editing capabilities are of great help to author our pages and blog post directly in the context into which they will be viewed. The content staging feature allows us to work on a set of pages and to test them out extensively before going live.

Mura is written in CFML, which is both its strength and its weakness. CFML is one of the best language for developing a dynamic website, but the CFML community is quite small and the language adoption is far from doing justice to the awesomeness of the language.

We have used the amazing Display Objects to develop our own training video hosting application on top of Mura, and we have more developments in mind.

Mura is great out of the box but it is also easily extendable. Even without code you can do a lot. With coding you do almost anything building off easy to use content management tool for even the most technically illiterate. You can even build an application in and language and call content through it's API. There has been nothing I couldn't make it do. It's even Docker/container ready.

Restricting content and managing users can be a little cumbersome, but it is a minor annoyance. However easily fixed by integrating with AD or Saml pretty easily.

All my company's public web properties use Mura so the business can maintain content without the need for technical support. We build to enforce the brand so they don't have to worry about it. For our Java applications they can pull content from Mura remotely without needing to build content management into their application at all. We even have aMura application to setup redirects like bit.ly and manage maintenance/outage pages. This reduced thousands of network redirects that were difficult and costly to manage in the routers. When someone here needs something quick Mura is normally where they go first.

I really liked that our training was based in a test site. I could test creating what the instructor was teaching. I could also play around with the settings I learned. Gives you great ideas for your own site.

It would be helpful if Mura offered a brief training video on the general overview of a content manager. Login, basic edit option and quick description of the CK editor.

Easy to use content management system. Which is helpful when I am supporting different customers. It has the basic content management needs for creating a website.

I like the admin the best. Our clients love how easy it is to manage their websites!

It's not a very well known CMS so there is always an education with clients on what it is and why it's as great as wordpress.

We are trying to offer custom website solutions on an easy to use, intuitive CMS.
