Compare eZ Platform vs. Joomla!

eZ Platform is a CMS built on the Symfony Framework. It is powerful and a total rewrite of the eZ Publish system in development from 1999.

Joomla! is one of the big three PHP CMSes. Currently it uses only a single component from the Symfony project. Joomla remains a strong contender with a large number of users and extensions.

• A full implementation on the Symfony Full Stack Framework
• Fully featured out of the box, media library, multilingual, multisite...
• Integrated Solr powered search ensures scalability

• Large developer and user base
• Plenty of ready made extensions available
• Tried and tested basic concepts

• Limited number of ready made extensions
• Some bugs in the UI layer in the first version
• Learning curve for "old school" PHP developers without OOP experience

• Administration can be confusing
• Lack of focus, tries to do everything
• Codebase is a mix of old and new
