TeamSite is a program that should only be used for enterprise businesses that have backend developers in place to update the constant demand for change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use this program to with one of the largest global consumer electronics brands in the country to distribute our e-commerce products, but we are looking to increase our use of design within the CMS platform. We are also looking for a program that will allow an easy transfer of data, which TeamSite lacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trend is to go with open source, and if you can find open source products that fit your needs and you have the time and expertise to configure it to your needs, then that may be a good path. However, if you need an off the shelf, established and fully supported product, TeamSite is probably your best bet. It is costly to install and maintain, but it is still an industry leader and it works well for what it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is highly customisable and there are generally several ways of doing any one particular thing. This makes for highly varied implementations, some good and some bad. One of the biggest mistakes companies make after buying TeamSite with or without LiveSite is hiring people without the correct experience resulting in the software getting a bad name and semi successful projects. It is also important to note that there is a significant jump between 6.x and 7.x of TeamSite and if your are implementing LiveSite check the people building the solution know how to implement TeamSite AND LiveSite. Smaller, niche consultancies are generally much better than your household names. If the consultants start talking about Perl run for the hills everything should be done in Java these days. Also if you are using LiveSite go with Java over .Net unless you really have to. There are very few .Net implementations out there and you'll struggle to find the people who know how to implement it properly. Also if you are doing a site redesign engage the LiveSite developers early on so the HTML designers can work with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of my projects are enterprise scale WCM implementations that generally last up to a year. These tend to include the management of multiple sites by 100s of authors doing 100s of changes and deployments a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any software... do your homework. Dont make a decision on the sales pitch and demo alone. Have your technical staff do a deep-dive into the system to ensure that its (a) going to meet ALL of your requirements and (b) ensure that if you want to connect it to any 3rd party systems that you make sure that TS can support it.

My experience with TeamSite was working within a LARGE financial services organization. We were building an extremely large web presence to accommodate 100+ business units and we needed a CMS that could handle many different content contributors and workflows. TeamsSite was able to do this but not without some considerable pain. The version that we implemented was based on Tomcat... which was a problem for our security and support teams as this organization was a primarily Microsoft-centric environment so we had to hire an entire support team just to support these servers on the raised floor. Then the buildout/implementation was rife with problems because we were trying to integrate it with a lot of internal systems and the TeamSite support infrastructure was not much help. Many of their solutions to our problems had never been tried before and it seemed like they were just spitballing. I left the company before the end of the project but I can tell you that it took over 2 years to get this site built and live primarily due to the issues we experienced with TS.
