"Out of all content management systems, sitefinity is my favorite by far!"

5/5

What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

Sitefinity is super easy to use. I enjoy the way that all the features are laid out on the dashboard - it's very seamless and not clunky like some other CMSs. I use it every day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

Sometimes there are bugs in the upgrades. I honestly don't like the newer version of SF (15+) – we are using it for a website and the tree feature on the left side is extremely hard to use. I would love if they went back to the old version or fixed the tree. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A CMS that is getting better with every release."

5/5

What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

Sitefinity is easy to use, is easy to customize and allows users to sync published content automatically or selectively to a live website (SiteSync). Sitefinty is a great CMS if you have a small to midsize website. Our website has grown to over 6000 pages, whihc includes 7 languages and it is very stabile. We are currently running in 14.4 which is the most stabile release and has a lot of new features. Depending on your needs, you don't have to be a full web developer to manage Sitefinty, but if helps, if you want to brach out and do more fancy stuf on your website. We are doing daily update on our site and and SiteSync comined with workflows is a life saver. We have product managers update their own content on our product pages, our PR and communication team create their onwn content and send it throught he appproval process, and so does the event team wich manages over 200 events on our website, including e-commerce, without every using our web team to get involved. Just like with everything a well organized system is key and Sitefinty brovided the tools to get or be organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

Upgrades to new releasesare easy enough as long as you have a proper source code repository installed that allow you to push updates throught the different servers for validation and verification. Workflows are still not easy enough to define and still lacking some functionality. The Integration with Insight, formerly called DEC has be come much better and more granulate but the cost for data storage is way to high, still. We are currently using Webhooks to send Insight data to our Marketing automation software Act-On, wihich seem to be working quite well. We are still in the early stages of implementation.

Online Marketing package still need more development.

E-commerce was discontinued, one of the reasons we decided on this platform, we decided to go with the semi-fully integrated UCommerce e-commerce software but ran into a number of issues and additional cost since there is no off the shelf sync option to sync content from a staging site to a procutions environment.

Adding additional languages and content is not easy and there should be a simple way to copy and entire page from the original language to any other language. We started using Lionbridge and the connector developed by Sitefinity to pull and pull translation content. The verdict is still out, but we are hopefull.

User profile info is limited. Customer support has improved, but to get more and you can now upgrade to better and faster support by paying more money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:

Do your homework while researching your CMS. Sitefinity is the best product in it's price range.make sure to get all API info for the platforms you want to connect and make sure they will work with Sitefinity. have a developer or consultant who knows MVC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a core web team and over 20 contributing content providers, mainly engineers and product managers, who can update and create new content and have it run through a workflow that will only allow authorized team members to publish content to the live website. We recently merged with two other companies and are consolidating the different websites to be present on our main site powered by Sitefinty CMS. The transition was easy and the web designers joining our team were quick to learn the Sitefinity CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
