According to the Joomla! site:

“Joomla! is one of the most powerful Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Joomla! is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable.”

Just like WordPress, Joomla! is free open source software. There is a community of talented people developing and sharing solutions, again, making sophisticated solutions and support available to the budget conscious business.

The power of Joomla! is astonishing.

• You can integrate multiple domains, or house your site, blog, intranet, extranet, forum, etc. all on one.
• You can use as many different page templates as you like, based on different content needs.
• You can literally do anything you can imagine.
• It is flexible and will grow with you.
• You can add functionality incrementally.
• There are templates available, or you can go with a custom design.
• Add, edit delete pages on the fly.
• Manage images and documents.
• Slick out of the box navigation choices.
• E-commerce ready.
• Multiple users with various access levels and privileges.

If you are looking for a solution to buy and hold the software company accountable for the outcome, this is decidedly not for you. This is for the entrepreneur or manager who is seeking empowerment, control over look and feel, content and budget and is willing to roll up their sleeves and be involved.
