Magnolia CMS is not so difficult to learn. The learning curve is not that high as long as you know the basics. I also like the multi-site setup that they have, it allows us as a developer and as a solutions provider to maintain all sites in one application only.
The only thing I dislike about Magnolia is the documentation. They are not that updated and most of the time we have to look at everything and it is not user-friendly.
End to end solutions for our clients. I benefited from Magnolia CMS because it is my first CMS and I enjoy the experience and the learnings.
Easy to learn and work .. especially for beginners
Cross platform is little slow in loading
Integrating with any other database . It is required
The multiple features of components, dialog feature , different roles for security purpose and customization of the components.
The dislike is about the documentation and discussion forum other than Magnolia official documentation , there is no other source or discussion forums or help for the guidance of the customization or enhancement required for inbuilt features.
The clients can perform their own content management without involvement of the developers or without any code changes. It helps to duplicate the entire content to multiple languages and multiple sites/ locales with minimum efforts. Benefits are: Multiple features of components Dialog feature Different roles for security purpose Customization of the components Support for the different locales and languages Templates for multiple devices desktop, tab and phone view Multiple user with access roles to perform the task at the same time concurrently and helps to save the changes with the user names. The entire content of the application can be translated for different language and domains to develop multiple sites.

This product is fantastic. It’s very user friendly
There is not one thing that I dislike about this product. It is a great product to use and is very quick
Magnolia helped my company run better and more sufficiently
Easy to create the pages and manage content
Sometimes layout is choppy when adding new components to the page
Product can create content and publish without developers help
The server is well organized, so it's easy to track chapters/files quickly.
When I have to upload and publish a file, I have to do so individually every single time. It would be nice if I could select multiple files and upload them at once.
I am uploading updated/edited files (textbook chapters) to update our teacher toolbox server. I like how it gets published right away, but it's very time consuming having to upload every single file (especially because I have to upload hundreds).
