Plone CMS Reviews & Product Details

- Nice, stable, with a good user interface and an easy straight forward setup process.

- We use it for a news portal, not the most complicated thing out there but it does the job and works nicely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Versioning is not the best out there, especially for a content website where I'd like to keep many versions of the same page and go back and forth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Relatively easy setup and administration process

Nice and user friendly admin panel and interface

Some add-ons/modules do not work the way they are supposed to the first time.

Not a very big support community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It combines the best of both worlds; It's open source, yet it's widely compatible to be integrated with a lot of platforms/systems, modular, safe and secure, and customizable.

There's a wide list if really BIG users, so the support and developer community is also big Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Needs some getting used to, at least for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good admin interface, nicely designed with everything accessible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a very popular solution, not much compatible plugins/add-ons and themes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Wiki-like engine that Plone uses. It is very easy to add nested/hierarchical information. We use it for documentation of technical information about various systems and locations. It is generally flexible enough for most basic needs, but also has a few flaws. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The text editor is extremely basic and is missing many WYSIWYG items. Adding screenshots and links is also more convolution that it should really be. Link icon doesn't allow you to make an external link, it is for internal linking only, while the globe icon is for external linking.

System also doesn't not assign unique ID numbers to new items, making it less of a knowledge base and more of a structured data repository. You have to define structure and then populate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In general, Plone has an intuitive interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some confusing features in Plone that a beginning user could struggle with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sounds like a solid CMS, with acclaimed focus on security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CMS did not evolve with the rest of Internet, so exit the templates and modern requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Plone to manage more than 30 websites: corporate website, local websites, blog and company intranet and it fits for all needs I had. I have a complex infrastructure to manage all resources that are used across the different websites (events, PRs, articles, resources, training courses) to avoid duplication of contents. I used Plone over more than 8 years changing multiple times the design, structure and overall organization and I've not had big issues or features I couldn't develop.

I manage more than 10 languages, including Russian, Chinese and Japanese.

I am totally autonomous to manage my contents including combining the different elements using multiple layouts (defined with the agency). So I have the flexibility to create different pages without asking to the IT. I only need the designer/developer if I need to create a new layout or a new feature.

We easely integrated Plone with multiple external systems: Marketo (Marketing Automation Tool), Microsoft Dynamics (CRM), Mediadrop (video library).

Plone is open source so you don't have to pay annual fees, is really important to select the right web agency that can customize Plone to fits your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have the functionality to store different versions of a page and return back if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
