"Really the best CMS to create enterprise websites"
What do you like best about TYPO3?

TYPO3 is a CMS that gives you the ability to create enterprise websites as well as websites for your local soccer-club. As things like stability, performance and security are topics already covered by the core and the community, everyone who uses TYPO3 will benefit from that. Not only the big enterprises. With a very active and helpful community, I really like this product and if I want to build a website that needs content management it is for sure my number 1 solution!

What do you dislike about TYPO3?

The downside of TYPO3 is that compared to CMSes like WordPress, it is used way less as it as those other CMSes. TYPO3 has a history of being complicated. Although that isn't the case anymore for several years, it still doesn't have the same adoption rate. This results into having less agencies working with TYPO3. So it might be that you only can choose from a couple of agencies in your country. But luckily TYPO3 is global and I'm sure if more people start asking for TYPO3, more agencies will start adopting it.

Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:

Ask your agencies about the possibility of TYPO3 or checkout typo3.com for more information about the product.

What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?

TYPO3 is the main CMS we use to create rich content platforms. Multiple sites, multiple languages and a lot of editors in just 1 installation is just business as normal. But also for small marketing campaign websites we use TYPO3. With TYPO3 it is easy to reuse features and makes it easy to be up and running quite fast.

"Yes, it's complex. That's a good thing!"
What do you like best about TYPO3?

TYPO3 is a content management framework that can be anything you want it to be.

I've been using it for tiny non-profit organizations and for SMEs with one editor who has no IT knowledge whatsoever. I've also been using it for a multinational site with editors from different countries and languages ranging from Arabic to Chinese. I've been using it as a web frontend for database applications. TYPO3 is really, really, REALLY versatile.

What do you dislike about TYPO3?

You can configure TYPO3 in a way that your editors will find it much(!) simpler to use than other CMSs (I'm looking at you, Wordpress!). Due to TYPO3's immense configurability, however, such a simplification can be cumbersome.

It would be nice to start with a predefined "simplified setting" directly built into the TYPO3 core (as opposed to a site package). This would make basic setups simpler. And you could work your way up to more complex scenarios from there, rather than the other way around.

Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:

If you have have a project that's not "of-the-shelf", then TYPO3 is for you! If you only need one single-language, single-domain and a-couple-of-pages website, then don't bother with it.

What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?

- one-page "business card" for the web, that's client-editable (I'll admit that's a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but still ...)

- multi-language and multi-domain websites

- website with an associated webshop

- websites with blogs

- web frontend for own database applications

- workflow and approval processes (editors, editors-in-chief, translators)

- access control where different elements of the site are visible for the general public, for registered users or only for (paying) clients only

"One of the top FOSS CMS projects of all time"
What do you like best about TYPO3?

With TYPO3 you get a mature product that has served business-critical cases for over a decade. You also get a living, breathing, modern system that has remained vital for a long time. You also get a dedicated community and ecosystem that is not tied to a single vendor. It's really a thing of beauty.

What do you dislike about TYPO3?

A lot of the activity around TYPO3 is centered in Germany, which means that non-germans will have to work harder to find local resources, like user meetups.

What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?

TYPO3 is really great for professional, maintainable, well performing websites that have clear navigation structures, and adhere to your company's branding and content workflows.

"The best CMS"
What do you like best about TYPO3?

With TYPO3 I made several hundred sites. From simple presentation sites to sites with high complexity. I also did for Universities with intranet, and for transport companies. It is easy to scale and uses the latest technical elements to develop a site. We have also developed multiroot websites for many domains. there is no point in proposing something to you and you cannot achieve with these powerful CMS. Responsive and on the admin side and SEO ready. A very good choice. The best!

What do you dislike about TYPO3?

There aren't things I don't like, but a solid online shop solution, maintained by the TYPO3 Association, would be welcome, so that we can rely on a supported and easy to implement solution.

Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:

Powerful, scalable, multilanguage, granular user rights, multiroot, multidoamin, SEO ready, all the features you need

What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?

I managed to implement as I mentioned above complex sites, for online ads, course planning, intranet, etc. I have been working with this CMS for many years and have developed many websites. In 2010 I also took TYPO3 Implementation Certified on V4.5, but since then I work with TYPO3 every day at the office for the clients of the company. I am also the Team Leader and Project Manager of the team within the company.

"Better Than Wordpress"
What do you like best about TYPO3?

I love that it is scalable and that It is able to be used on multiple worksites across the country, that I can work with a developer to connect anything else that I use. Its great that I can use it anywhere and set it up from wherever I am on my current systems. I like that the level of user engagement has seen a rise, and I love how fast it is.

Vibrant professional community backed by a strong commercial ecosystem.

What do you dislike about TYPO3?

I don't like the way it looks. I feel like it could be a little more user friendly in its design and could be slightly more updated for the current times and userbase.

Recommendations to others considering TYPO3:

If you are looking for a free alternative to wordpress, and want to try something new, id give this a chance.

What problems is TYPO3 solving and how is that benefiting you?
