What do you like best about Kentico?

What I like best about Kentico is that as a product, we have confidence that when new set of features are integrated into the latest release of the platform, that they will work seamlessly without customisation with the other aspects of the content management system. The Kentico support team is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

Because the platform comes with a lot of out of the box functionality, to deliver custom development workflows and process would take slightly longer than writing from scratch due to to the implemented approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kentico solving and how is that benefiting you?

We work with clients to deliver custom integration systems and have grown the profits and increased conversions using the Kentico platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kentico?

The user interface is very easy to use. I've worked with several other products where the UI is not intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

It would be nice if Kentico had some "themes" where the small business could select a theme instead of requiring a programmer-level person to implement them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Go ahead and compare Kentico with other products. Kentico wins every time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kentico?

Kentico's strength is in it's balance between enterprise capabilities/scalability, robust yet user-friendly client facing admin tools, and its wide range of out-of-the-box functionality. And one of the best aspects is their competitive licensing options, which allows us to spend more of our client budget on solution building rather than license fees. At BlueKey, its allowed us to build countless responsive websites, ecommerce stores, custom web applications, and integrate with a large variety of API. Finally, their EMS has upped the game on the digital marketing side by allowing us to implement personalization, segmentation, lead scoring, marketing automation, and employ A/B/MVT testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

While the out of the box ecommerce tools allow for the setup of an online store, they do require a fair amount of customization to get it up to a competitive level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kentico:

Take it for a test drive and compare it to other CMS. And take a look at how competitive the licensing is compared to other enterprise CMS like Sitecore, etc. It's a much greater value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kentico solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a digital agency and web development firm, it has allowed us to shift our focus from developing platforms and tools from the ground up, to solving client problems and driving measurable results. We've been able to shorten our development times, increase profit, and get more utilization from our existing dev team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kentico?

Kentico has excellent support. Anytime I have reached out to Kentico directly for support, the communication has been excellent, and the results have been excellent.

We have just upgraded to the full EMS license, and are excited to dive into the email marketing and A/B tesing capabilites it has (among many others). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

We have found the integration with Google Analytics eCommerce tracking has been difficult. I wish this was more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kentico:

I wouldn't recommend this to very small businesses - it has a level of power and flexibilty that does come with some complexity. But for businesses that are growing and have the resources to invest in the system, it is very much worth your consideration. I beleive Kentico will be a long term partner for our businesses, as I can see Kentico, and the way we use Kentico, scaling as we continue to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kentico solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a small business running an eCommerce store for our range of packaging supplies. As a primary portal for both customer acquisition and sales, it is essential that we have a flexible system that can meet the ever-changing landscape in eCommerce. We have been able to integrate with other software, so we can automate much of our processes related to our website.

The reliability of the system has been a big improvement over the last system we were using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kentico?

I can summarize what I like the best about Kentico with the following:

• Powerful development platform for developers

• Easy to use for content editors

• Full featured solution

• Easy to customize / integrate

• Highly scalable

• Globalized

• Great support

• The people behind the product really care about it

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

There are only a few factors that I dislike about utilizing Kentico as a content management system. First it tends to have a slow build time for the full solution in Visual Studio during the development cycle (It's worth the wait though). Also multi-site installations not 100% isolated (good or bad depending on your situation, newer versions fix much of this though). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kentico:

I seriously only strictly work with Kentico now. It is just that good. I can't recommend it enough. The main reasons that I feel this way are:

The amount of functionality out of the box is truly impressive. I can do content management, e-commerce, social media integration, integration with ERP systems, and much more.

The support that Kentico provides for its products is also top notch. They are open 24/7 and respond very very quickly to any email I send. It's a great feeling to know that I always have a backup in case there is something that I cannot figure out. And if you do find a bug in their software they are committed to fixing it within 7 days, and even plant a tree in your name for every bug you find.

The value based pricing is also huge to me. I can run an enterprise class website on technology that powers very large scalable sites that have over 10,000,000 page views in a single month, 500,000+ pages on one website, 2,000,000+ products in one e-shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kentico solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Kentico CMS daily at BizStream and have personally been involved with building over 70 sites. My team and I chose Kentico as our CMS of choice after going through what seems like a normal progression of building our own custom CMS from the ground up, moving on to using and customizing open source CMS's like WordPress and Drupal, and then finally realizing that there just has to be a better way.

That better way was Kentico. I am not kidding when I say that after 2 hours of using this product I fell in love with it. Not only was it built on my favorite technologies, SQL, ASP.NET, C#, but it delivered on its claim to be an all-inclusive solution to building websites. The out of the box functionality is great, adding modules such as e-commerce, mobile friendly templates, or blogs is as simple as adding a few web parts to a page template all through the easy to use interface. Building sites with Kentico is extremely fast and easy. I love how transformations and document types are setup so that you can write content once and re-use it in many places on the site.

Another fact that really sold me was that our end customers at BizStream love the sites that we build for them. They constantly give us great feedback on how easy it is to add and update content on their websites. When my customers are happy I am happy.

In summary making new customers and current customers happy is the main business problem that I am solving with Kentico for my business. Kentico allows me to do this. The benefit that I realize from this is the fact that I am able to deliver my web projects on time and at budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kentico?

We love the flexibility that Kentico gives us. We've used it on over 100 implementations, from small and simple to large and complex.

Compared to other CMS' we've worked with, I'd also like to recognize how responsive Kentico support is. Queries are answered quickly and efficiently. They also have a 7 day bug fix guarantee!

When we look at Kentico vs other .net CMS like Sitecore and Ektron, it compares extremely well on a feature basis, but the price point is more attractive. (They also actually put their pricing on their website, unlike some of their competitors... go figure!)

Finally, we like the culture of the company. We've been a Kentico partner for 5 years and have grown along with them. They really try hard to make a product that meets their customers needs. They are extremely reputable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

We've been in business for 15 years and have worked with a variety of other CMS platforms. With the UX updates that came with Version 8 of Kentico, the one thing we did dislike, has been vastly improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kentico:

If you are looking for an excellent CMS, Kentico should be on your short list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kentico solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an agency, we're solving a multitude of business problems. Features of Kentico we've used to solve problems include, multi-site management, muli-lingual implementations, responsive/mobile implementations, lead capture, e-commerce, back office integrations and many many more.

What do you like best about Kentico?

Kentico is a highly configurable platform that can be easily modified and extended to fit a wide range of project needs. The architecture of the platform has been really well thought-through, so there is no impediment to adding-on custom modules or integrating with 3rd party systems such as ERPs and CRMs.

Also the support is first class, very often getting back with a full solution within hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

Historically the upgrade path can be tougher than it needs to be, if there has been any customisation. The recent v8 CodeUpgrade tool, greatly assists with this process, and it would be good to see further improvements in this area.

The e-commerce platform, is missing a few important features, such as, order cancellations and returns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kentico:

The Kentico sample sites a great reference for picking-up best practise implementations. These contain working examples of all of the available web parts, and modules.

Engaging with the Kentico community is very beneficial. The community is strong with regular conferences and webinars, and is supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kentico solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit is the ease and speed of development

As there are such a large number of reusable (customizable) components, it is highly cost-effective compared to ground-up development, even for projects which do not have content management as the primary requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kentico?

We have been using Kentico for a long time and I like the fact it has improve from it's earlier versions. Listening to the clients and partner feedback is something Kentico do really well. Implementing modules and features to the latest technologies and trends means Kentico is always looking to improve.

For me the best aspect of Kentico is it's ability to allow developers to use Kentico to the maximum and then extend it further to make challenging websites! Kentico can be customised to your specific requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

Kentico is a large CMS, which means there is still lots to learn within it. To me this just means you have a CMS, which would suit different requirements, so this can only be a good thing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kentico:

I feel this is one of the best CMS out there, but although I am biased as I really like it, I would recommend downloading a Demo of Kentico and trying it out :)!

The Kentico Support is amazing and really helpful.

The have an ever improving EMS version where you can do lots of marketing related things like Content Personalisation, Marketing Automation, A/B Testing, Multi-Variant Testing to just name a few.

To go along with this the Kentico Community is essential to this product and you have lots of people ready to help others and progress Kentico!

You have to give Kentico a go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kentico solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me my daily tasks are to look into different ways something could be built in Kentico. In most of my cases I always find that there is not just one way to build something in Kentico. As we have different requirements from different clients, choosing an approach for one client could be something completely different for another client. The benefit of Kentico is that this is all possible within it and this makes our clients happy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kentico?

I've used Kentico for web content management for nearly 10 years. With each upgrade the product just gets better and more sophisticated. In terms of loading and updating content, it really doesn't get any easier. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. I've trained interns and new hires on Kentico basics in under an hour so they can hit the ground running on day one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

When I talk to other marketers about Kentico, they perceive Kentico to be too expensive, and that they can still do everything they need to in WordPress or Drupal. More and more marketers are making CMS selections and needing marketing automation options, There has to be a better way to get in front of them and communicate about the power of Kentico.

Also the wysiwyg can be a little unreliable. But, with basic html skills, it's nothing that can't be worked around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kentico solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I used Kentico in a previous healthcare position, the CMS allowed us to step up our web presence and add tons of functionality and features for our website users, none of which were possible with the CMS used when I started the job. The new site generated tons more visits and helped the department expand website content to make the site more useful to visitors. Kentico made it so we could update and change content quickly and easily, and generally without the help of technical staff. We saved so much money on the CMS and development over what the department had been spending that we were able to keep pressing forward with more online marketing initiatives. We eventually upgraded to EMS, and the hospital was just beginning to dive into the power behind EMS when I departed for a new position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
