Pros django CMS is written in Python programming language making it more secure, reliable, and scalable. With it, you can quickly develop a website that can be customized from the front-end. Comes with an integrated language translation feature. A great alternative to WordPress CMS. Cons As django CMS is written in Python, you will need good coding skills in Python to extend, scale or integrate with other systems. Finding and hiring a Django developer can be expensive compared to a PHP developer. Small community and plugins ecosystem.

Technical Product Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For lean-agile development of mid-sized projects, the best CMS on the market" June 30, 2021 5.0 I would whole-heartedly recommend django CMS for anyone looking for an easy to setup CMS platform for a small to mid-sized project. Pros Django has a free open source version available for anyone to download. Additional support functions can be bought with money for highly available deployments. Django has a huge userbase, any type of help is easy to find on the internet and it's based on Python instead of other either more convoluted or less secure languages. There's lot to like. Cons Building geo-redundant HA setups is relatively difficult task with Django. So for most mission critical deployments, potentially some other CMS is the way to go. Review Source Silvio B. software developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good CMS option for Django" April 4, 2020 3.0 Is useful for very barebone pages in which content might change often but not the format. Pros I like that it is pretty simple to operate and fill the information even for a non "tecky" user, which is the very point of using a CMS in my opinion. Cons It is somewhat problematic to integrate with other parts of Django. I don't like the fact that makes hard to track modifications to the pages. Very often the dependencies are not updated, I get that is an Open Source projects but still that is a problem. Reason for choosing django CMS Because we use Django Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelancer developer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Django CMS is the go to solution for fast deploying a Django website." September 23, 2020 5.0 I find it a very good all around solution. I will continue to use it. Pros It allows to fast deploy a python/Django project and customize it to your needs. Many times Django CMS has been my choice solution as base for my clients websites. Cons This is now a newbie software that allows to generate magically a website, this requires extent knowledge as python programmers. Review Source Bastián M. Industrial Engenieer Civil Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A quick overview of Django CMS" June 28, 2021 5.0 I learned Django CMS thanks to a friend from university who set the goal of designing our own website, to have this knowledge when graduating from university. Although I had a background in python programming, using Django was a challenge that I am proud to say I overcame. Pros What I like the most is the ease with which it allows you to create a website that adapts to almost any company or organization. In addition, its language is simple and its file management sophisticated and simple at the same time, which allows you to streamline operations without sacrificing design. Cons Personally my biggest problem was the lack of information that existed regarding its installation, I did not know about the alternative of creating a virtual environment. Currently the information is more accessible, however, I think that a user manual with start-up videos would be good for new users. Review Source Logendher G. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Python based Open Source CMS Platform" July 21, 2022 5.0 Pros Easy Installation and Setup within a minutes to start the work, Django is Python base Platform easy to learn and having a great commuity support. Cons File Structure sometime confuse the app and main project. have to clear cache memory every single changes in Django after deployment for instent output. Review Source Dan H. Web Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Python base for getting projects up quicky" December 10, 2018 4.0 Pros If you need basic content management, Django is a great tool for getting your prototype up quickly with the features you need. The admin is pretty customizable (within reason), and the number of free plugins and extensions out there makes development quick. Cons Scaling can be a bit of a hassle after a certain period, as is optimization. The building-block nature of things means that getting to MVP is easy, but iterating from there can be tricky if you need to change the blocks around. Also, getting into moderate customization often involves a significant amount of writing substantial pieces of the admin from scratch.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great go-to solution for every CRUD web application" May 25, 2019 4.0 Pros Data modeling and database migration work out of the box, just define your models and every future change creates an auto-migration of the database schema. Simple modification of all object instances in the Django administration view is great for prototypes, because you don't need to write boilerplate code for every model again. Cons Major version upgrades are a litte bit of work, although the changes / deprecation notices are well written. Review Source AS Arpan S.

March 31, 2022 4.0 I have merged two technologies with django i have work on a sports based website where I merged django with reactJs for front end part and mangoDb for the backend part. Pros Django provide a pre built in packages that comes with some files so developer no need to create and built the project from scratch.and the connection between these files are already build at the backend.django provide user authentication validation for the log in security of a web api project. Django provide a models.py package where developer can write the code in python and django convert that into query language. So it is easier for a python developer to operate with django. Django can be used a bridge between two technologies like backend and for frontend to link or merged.django provide a builtin administrator UI page to manage the database . Cons As django have builtin files in it so sometimes it is very haptic for a new user who wants to make a small project in it. Although you are building a small statics web page you have to deal with lots of builtin files in it so user should confused while dealing with lots of files. Review Source koffi Évariste K.
