What do you like best about idev CMS?

americaneagle.com's idev platform offers great flexibility. it is an out of the box solution so you aren't bound to countless customization changes but you have the flexibility where you need and want it. i have used idev for several years and appreciate the upgrades that americaneagle.com provides. evolution is constant and you want a solution that can evolve as you need it. better than the tech, and it is solid and proven, the company behind it all is committed to providing the best solutions to meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about idev CMS?

i'm in the process of upgrading to the newest version of the idev platform and i guess my gripe is that i didn't have to go through my own red tape to get the new system in place. as is the case with any technology, i want the newest thing now. waiting a couple of months, given the size and scope of what we are doing, isn't bad but wouldn't it be great if i could get it today? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering idev CMS:

idev is worth your time to compare and i believe after your due diligence that you will be impressed with the features, flexibility and support. i've personally used idev for several years and i am in the process of bringing over our entire web platform of 40+ sites to gain the benefits of the new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is idev CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

the primary objective was to bring our digital solutions to a more modern and relevant reality. after our man hub site was completed we branched out to create a platform of connected sites to better leverage the technology across the association. this was a huge win for the association with increased member benefits and a lift in the professionalization of the association's digital properties. the additional benefits have been increased annual growth in visits/pages/time and sponsor interest. these are great gains regardless of the industry.

What do you like best about idev CMS?

It did the job! It did indeed publish content and allow us to host a site. Very basic, however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about idev CMS?

Lack of customization; we were very limited to what we could do, and when it came time to redesign our site and make it more nimble, AE did not have any of the capabilities needed (like separate links for articles on a sub-section of our website so we could share them on social media). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering idev CMS:

If you're looking for a very basic CMS, this will work. But if you want something more customizable that has a vast bank of widgets and the like, you can't use AE. Wordpress worked great for us and the user experience was incredible. Unfortunately, I do not recommend AE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is idev CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used AE solely for content; it was used for a online industry newsletter, so our needs were fairly basic. We did not have any e-commerce needs, etc. The benefits were not great enough to stay with the CMS tool; we switched to Wordpress when we re-designed and re-launched our site.

What do you like best about idev CMS?

Probably the navigation, although that's a stretch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about idev CMS?

The system doesn't allow you to do much with creativity. Photos, charts, slideshows are practically non-existent, and different fonts are beyond the question. It is not SEO friendly and overall needs a lot of improvement in order to stand out in a crowded CMS space. The layout is very difficult to update as well. Did I mention it is not free either? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering idev CMS:

Just use Wordpress or Joomla. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is idev CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The reason for using AE was because our Company's online newsletter was on it so we were forced to used it. Even though we did manage to put a daily newsletter on AE, we would get continuously frustrated of how limited its capabilities are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
