Since then, this platform is stable and have some great features for content creators, but nothing that makes it stands out. > > **Cons**: The user interface isn't great and it shows that time has passed since it's first release. Also, the documentation is not easy to browse and the pricing is prohibitive. ----- ### "Exceptional CMS" — 5.0/5 > **Ciana** | *25 February 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used MT since some of their very first incarnations and it is hands down the best CMS I have tried. Very comprehensive. > > **Cons**: Can be hard to install if you are not familiar with manipulating MySQL and manipulating your hosting provider’s internal permissions. > > Exceptional\! ----- ### "Good CMS" — 5.0/5 > **Gabriela** | *13 July 2018* | Computer Software > > **Pros**: I used this as the CMS for my blog for several years. It allows for customization, and you can make your blog look more professional (and not like a "canned" template). > > **Cons**: It was not so user friendly back then, but nothing that you couldn't learn how to use. Not many plugins were available in the past, but now I see that they have much more. ----- ### "Excellent blogging/CMS platform, very performant and solid." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 March 2018* > > **Pros**: I've used Movable Type for the first time in 1998 and I've loved it ever since, it's a solid, fast, reliable platform that will let you build websites with little effort. > > **Cons**: The templating system might not be very intuitive at the beginning and needs some time to get acquainted with. ----- ### "Wordpress Alternative" — 4.0/5 > **Amelia** | *14 April 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you know Perl it can be more useful to you can Wordpress. > > **Cons**: Costs more money, less user friendly than WordPress. > > Movable Type has been around for awhile. It’s not bad, but WordPress has become the industry standard for many websites these days. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/152217/movable-type) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
