Compare Sulu CMS vs. Joomla!

Sulu is a new take on content management. It has been started from scratch using an existing content repository.

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.

• Clean architecture based on Full Symfony Full Stack Framework
• Uses ready made components such as CMF, PHPCR
• Clean user interface

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

• Limited adoption
• A new product, there are use cases not covered yet
• Initial setup and flexibility requires expert developers

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