 Joomla is content management system like none other I have searched to date and there are dozen of CMS competitors. Few are commercial as well as charge for the software and some, like Joomla, are an open source and obtainable without any cost.
Any perceivable variations are limited to some specific traits and for some there is cost factor that can deter many potential purchasers to buy commercial products. Whereas there are some open source products, which have very low costs commercial software products that tend to be higher.
Many proponents of commercial CMS suggest product is much better choice when installed, primarily due to post sale support as if training and stability linked with the security experiences with software.
As most of open source, CMS developers are volunteers issue can appear to be potentially difficult challenge and this is where the Joomla, for one, will work hard to take advantage from some factors, which are at present feeding product's success.
Example of Joomla's out of the box approach to making trouble-free product is recently held "Doc Camp." This get together was follow up to weekend Joomla "bug-squashing event." Company promoted events with a goal to increase a viability & functionality of this product when focusing to clean us any variations in the operational functions.
Reports also indicate thousands of volunteer-developers were on project. Industry viewers state Joomla has strong commitment to upgrades & new releases. Credit is all given to marshalling of volunteers & their exuberant and technologically powerful support.
Comparisons tend to support open source CMS because of some features:
Consumer-friendly free downloads
Powerful documentation.
Consistent training.
Continue support & development
Players
Additionally Joomla and other open source CMS's are Drupal, Mambo, Post Nuke, PHPNuke, TYPO3, Plone, Open CMS, e107, WordPress, MODx CMS, XOOPS as well as Zope.
Commercial entrants in an field are Alfresco, Vignette, Interwoven Teamsite, RedDot CMS, Microsoft CMS, Tridion, Immediacy CMS, Oracle portal, Hot Banana, GOSS iCM, as well as Fatwire Content Server. It is thus very popular & used widely that as well means it will not be very difficult to find an developers & people to support that. Because it is very popular, it means that at present there are several books that are written about Joomla! From different perspectives to help both developer and end user.
