Contensis for us (as a supported product via Zengenti) is a simple and easy to use interface - infact new started can be up and running with an hours basic training - for a complex website infront of it. The product partially down to it being locked down, provides a good level of consistency and stability, (not a lot to break). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contensis has been moving from an old build their latest CMS UI. It would be nice if we could move completely onto the new UI, and not have to manage document, and assets in the old UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
