dotCMS/our website supplier is very responsive when we have issues. Both are very transparent when it comes to challenging the current functionalities and adding new ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
dotCMS has a tendency to make easy things complicated and has some issues with bugs. As we have high demands in regards to styling/formatting, using dotCMS is sometimes challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At first, the system is overwhelming for someone that has never worked with a CMS before. The System may not fit all of our needs, but it still allows us to build our features on top of it, which is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are a business developing landing pages for advertisement. I feel as though dotCMS has a Designer Template for no-code implementation, it doesn't quite work with multiple sites sharing the code. We have to duplicate a site for a template to work in another host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The dotCMS team is committed to supporting their customers to scale the solution to their needs. dotCMS allows a lot of functionality and has potential for integration with other systems. The training resources are excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Admin Panel could use some refreshing as it is a bit difficult to work with to set permissions and manage pages compared to other solutions. For this reason, having a qualified web developer is suggested. Major version updates can be significant and should be reviewed carefully to be sure consistency post upgrade. That being said, the upgrade process is relatively smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have enjoyed the way dotCMS still treats a site as a series of folders with subfolders and pages. It's been the easiest way for our editors to transition. Conversely, it's also been a gentle introduction for our users to the concepts of structured content. It's not at all difficult to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have had a series of difficulties with the stability of the software. The cloud has been good for us, but the occasional software crash has been frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The flexibility of the platform. UI focussed on Marketing users, not IT admins. Strong backend architecture and highly scalable. Compared to other platforms, this is relatively cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation is not that great, and finding talent in the market is not easy. dotCMS support team is accommodating, but I wish dotCMS has professional services to help implementations directly. Documentation certainly needs improvement, and the company should invest in raising brand awareness and attracting more developers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DotCMS is very flexible and provides a solution for all our needs. Our in-house designers make it easy to add/edit content within the page containers and widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With it's complexity comes a learning curve, especially if you're not a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing... The history feature I guess is somewhat useful to see where content has been updated but that's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Publishing is so temperamental. Everything breaks down the minute you want to publish something. I've never worked with a CMS that is this difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recruiting them is a simple process for everyday content owners, but as time progresses, they are eager to integrate their own exclusive content material more naturally. The lack of a safe, secure working partnership has perhaps been the most difficult obstacle over the years. Accelerated team growth and development based on technologies that we're already using to solve market challenges for traditional consumers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
