MojoPortal OR Umbraco?

I’ve been looking at ASP.NET CMS / Portal Free / Open Source systems for some time now and moving them to two different ones.

Umbraco - http://umbraco.org

mojoPortal - http://www.mojoportal.com

Both look great and have different attractive features, but I'm looking for people who used both and who you went with, and why?

In the end I went to Umbraco and never looked back, it is incredibly easy to install and use.

For installation, you can use the web platform installer to install it, and the number of free projects that you can easily install with just a few clicks make it the best CMS out there

I tried Umbraco and it is not for the timid. I feel like I'm a pretty technical person, a senior web developer ... and after a few hours I gave up.

MojoPortal just works.

It has its flaws, but the simple fact that it just works means that it wins.

I used Kentico, DNN, Sitecore, Joomla, CMS Made Simple (yes, true, not mojoPortal). Umbraco is by far the most powerful if you are after a very customized and well-defined solution. Linq2Umbraco just makes a deal.

However, if you are after an idiotic proof of CMS with everything built-in, and your biggest problem is to look for flags to include forum / blogs / any other comic modules / bells and whistles / etc. Umbraco is not for you. IMO Kentico / DNN are those.

Change And 3 years later I used SharePoint, epiServer, SiteFinity.

Umbraco is still winning hands.

mojoPortal seems to me easier to use, and it even works with javascript disabled, for example, using the noscript browser plugin. It seems more attention is paid to accessibility using progressive javascript enhancements, whereas you cannot manage your site at all with javascript disabled using Umbraco.

I have not tried mojoPortal, but I love Umbraco.

Things I like:

  • Clean code
  • Using XSLT, python or .NET to extend
  • Amazing community support.
  • Training videos to simplify learning
  • Admin scope extensible
  • Good plugin designs

But in fact, this is because I can easily use it for small and large projects.
