What do you like best about ProcessWire?

ProcessWire has an extremely easy to learn API and is very flexible. It’s the single best CMS / CMF I found. Each ProcessWire website is tailor made and only contains exactly what you need. It’s not an of the shelf use just install a template CMS but a great starting point for developers looking to build custom sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProcessWire?

There are no automated tests. I wish it would have a more solid approach to handling data models (like getters and setters) as well as better staging mechanism. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProcessWire:

Go read what poeple who are actually use the system write about it – most praise it very much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it for multiple custom platforms, ranging from one off event websites to larger sites that are the backbone of our world-wide operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProcessWire?

It seems like a very flexible platform for web development, from the perspective of a development team. It has endlessly configurable modules that can act on a per-page basis or globally, or a selected set of pages. What it lacks in polish and usability from a consumer standpoint, it almost makes up in its configurability and flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProcessWire?

Editing a site on ProcessWire from the perspective of a regular business user is near-impossible. Despite a development team's best efforts to properly label modules, and document how pages are set up, it's still a confusing mess when you compare it to some of the modern web development platforms like Squarespace or WordPress, both of which still offer the level of flexibility that most business users need, without the hopeless labyrinth that ProcessWire calls navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProcessWire:

Consider something like WordPress, Demandware, Shopify, Squarespace. Heck, built a static HTML and CSS site and edit the HTML files directly, it would probably be easier than navigating ProcessWire. Honestly it's needlessly confusing and doesn't offer any appreciable benefits over other modern platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I assume the business problem one would attempt to solve with ProcessWire is to create a completely custom website, with flexible modules that can be used across the site. In terms of handing this off to a business team, though, there are little benefits. There's no balance of flexibility of the platform for developers and usability of the editors for clients. It places the responsibility of maintenance and content updates squarely on more technically savvy users, and that's a big problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
