Compare Kunstmaan vs. Joomla!

Kunstmaan Agency has created a number of Symfony2 Framework Bundles to enable developers to create web applications with CMS features. It's not a complete product in itself, but offers flexibility for skilled developers to create easy to use site experiences for content creators.

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.

• Flexible, choose only what you need and adjust to your needs
• Uses standard Symfony Framework structure and development practises
• Can be integrated into existing Symfony2 applications

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

• Limited adoption outside of Kunstmaan
• A bit hard to purchase, because it's a collection of components rather than a complete product
• Future roadmap a questionmark

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