My favourite feature of Magnolia is multi-site management as it helps to manage multiple sites in one place without any hassle. This saves a lot of time for developers as well as solution architects. Another feature I love is it provides smooth content migration which makes the whole process very efficient and hassles free. It also provides multilingual support which basically helps in the wider reach of our product.
Magnolia user interface is complex to understand which can make its customer lose interest in using it. Magnolia must have a discussion forum to clear the doubts of their clients and to have a healthy discussion about new features and their usage. Also while using angular js with magnolia the whole process becomes very slow.
The biggest business problem was assembling sites, so by using this CMS tool, assembling the sites became easier and helped provide the client with an opportunity to modify some sort of functions. It has improved the overall efficiency and availability.

It has a lack of dashboard for administration and no workflow information is shown. Implementations in the admin user interface are quite difficult. Migration from previous releases is expensive and hard. Some of its version is not compatible with its older versions. If you want to uninstall any module it would be messy.

Since it's a CMS i.e. nothing but a content management system, so our main agenda was to deal with dynamic content but without any deployment or server restart. Hence, we chose Magnolia as a CMS tool with which any one can change the content of a webpage without having much knowledge on technical front. Not just it's easy to use by any naive person but also one can have varied version control as well such as to rollback if needed. So over-all, it was brilliant package if you have dynamic content on your web page

The latest version also provide with the CLI tool for the development. As the end user of the tool, it also provides the multisite support.
The only downside I have seen is for the existing user who are using quite outdated version of Magnolia. It is not very easy to migrate from 4.x version to the latest version as there is huge change in internal structure and specification used by the tool.
- It was been used as a Web Content Management tool. - Providing the multi site support for the different website in the single platform. - Creation of common templates which could be used across all the sites.

It is highly adaptable and can be leveraged with other frameworks quite easily.
There is a lesser documentation available on the internet for this tool. Also lots of time you will be doing custom development for which reference resources might be hard to find. Overall a good dedicated team to help you out with your needs.
