Should have mentioned the enormous amount of Joomla’s security holes resulting in Joomla sites being constantly exploited, and honestly, comparing Joomlas and Nuke-oids with heavy category CMSes like TYPO3 and Plone is a bit too much. Like comparing a Suzuki Vitara and Land Rover. Should dive more into Plone/Zope, they have no competition in the toy-CMSes mentioned in the article.

My decision is for php based cmses.

Silverstripe is the solution for me .

Thanks .

Hello, I found this post while searching for help with Microsoft Silverlight. I’ve recently changed internet browser from Safari to Microsoft IE 6. Now I seem to have a issue with loading sites that use Microsoft Silverlight. Every time I go on a site that requires Microsoft Silverlight, the site freezes and I get a “npctrl.dll” error. I can’t seem to find out how to fix it. Any help getting Microsoft Silverlight to function is very appreciated! Thanks

Great post man. Been looking for such an analysis for a some time now. I am about to move to selfhosting and looking for a cool CMS but was inundated by the massive array of options.

But now thanks to your post, I think I will go with Silver Stripe. Looks very simple to me but at the same time will get the job done.

A cup of coffee for you later

Thanks for providing this write up! I am currently in the process of choosing a CMS system with a plan to migrate from Word Press over to either Joomla, Drupal, or Modx more than likely. I am now leaning more towards Drupal. Thanks again.

I’ve been a fan of textpattern ever since I found it a couple of years ago.

Another very nice resource. Cool that you went beyond the php/mysql standards and included options for .net and python.

But you forgot the hottest CMS…MODx ( http://modxcms.com ).

Nice post that covers a lot of the benefits of the basic open source CMS out there.

I’ve tried Simple CMS which is good, but a bit too basic. I haven’t given the others too much time because the rest of my requirements are sorted with Concrete5 and MySource Matrix.

Concrete5 for the ease, just as easy as simple cms but S.L.I.C.K, and if I have to build something between slightly more complex then brochure and Amazon I go with Matrix, seriously one of the most robust CMS tools out there.

This is a useful article and has some great info. Of the products I know, I think you may have overrated Joomla a bit. WordPress should probably have been mentioned, as well, it is not your father’s blog software! The biggest oversight is not mentioning the best enterprise open source CMS/WMS, TYPO3.

Regards,
Virgil
