Modern open source .NET alternative to Umbraco CMS

Written by Zack Schwartz

Umbraco CMS is a flexible open-source content management system built on the latest .NET (ASP.NET Core) technology. It offers a user-friendly editing experience, freedom for developers, and seamless integrations with other tools. Umbraco CMS can also handle multilingual and multi-channel content for different devices and platforms.

But Umbraco CMS also has some criticisms from users and developers. Some of the common complaints are:

  • The search functionality within the CMS is poor.
  • The CMS has a steep learning curve and requires a lot of configuration and customization.
  • The CMS can be slow and hard to optimize for performance and SEO.
  • The CMS lacks some features and integrations that other platforms offer.

Of course, these are subjective opinions and may not reflect the experience of all users. Some people may find Umbraco CMS easy to use, powerful, and adaptable to their needs. It depends on your preferences, expectations, and requirements.
