Product Description

Solodev CMS is a cloud-first enterprise content management and customer experience platform that lets individuals and teams collaborate on their digital transformation. With Solodev, users can build amazing, feature-rich websites and applications, share comments on tasks, review code, and publish their most ambitious ideas with complete training and 24/7 U.S.-based support – all powered by the world’s most secure and scalable cloud infrastructure, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Not only does Solodev provide traditional CMS capabilities, but our built-in REST API and Swagger library delivers “headless” experience management – integrating with third-party apps and services, frontend static site generators using React or Angular, or even IoT devices like wearable tech. Solodev also provides personalization and optimization capabilities with page-based A/B testing and an AI-powered recommendation engine for surfacing more relevant content based on real-time user interactions.

Built for AWS: one of the only CMS platforms that is purpose-built for AWS and truly born for the cloud.

Secure and scalable: tightly integrated with AWS’ service architecture, from security to compliance.

Headless Hybrid: provides traditional CMS rendering of website pages and templates, as well as API-driven headless and decoupled capabilities for managing experiences across browser-layer apps like React, third-party applications, and IoT devices.

Container-based solutions: fully-containerized CMS and managed Kubernetes offerings through the AWS Marketplace.

Designed for marketers, developers, and DevOps teams: low-code/no-code custom modules and managers, access to code for custom cloud and headless apps, and AWS integration to manage infrastructure.

Personalization and DXP features: A/B content testing and recommendation engine as a service, powered by AI/ML in the cloud.

Overall, our experience with Solodev has been very positive. As a developer, the documentation could be more in-depth and expanded to cover more uncommon troubleshooting issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Solodev:

Understanding AWS makes setting up Solodev much more manageable, but they have an excellent support staff to guide you through any issues you may run into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team has been modernizing a collection of old web applications to a new cloud environment. Solodev makes it possible to update these websites efficiently and make them user-friendly to people who have never used a CMS before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Solodev?

Fantastic company that is very hands-on with their customers and really goes the extra mile to make sure they find custom solutions to meet the goals you have with their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solodev?

We have not had many negative things to say about Solodev since we started using their platform. The only thing I would like to see more of as a developer is a more in-depth documentation and walkthrough guides to service problems independently. As a smaller company, the price to get the full support suite was a bit steep, so maybe a pay-as-you-go support model for when you need it would really put their services to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Solodev:

If you are not familiar with the AWS environment, setting up Solodev will be challenging. The getting started guide helps, but we ran into problems multiple times when standing up a stack. If you pay for their support package, the support team at Solodev will get you running and answer any questions very quickly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are building a full suite of old websites being modernized to a new cloud environment for our customer. They have never used a CMS before to edit content on their websites, and Solodev has sped up the review and collaboration process for making changes. With Solodev, what used to take a week to bring a new page online can now be done in a fraction of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from of Solodev

Appreciate your feedback, Jack... and the five-star review! We're currently exploring other models to support our valued customers, and we're looking forward to helping you build more projects in the future.

What do you like best about Solodev?

The thing I like the best would absolutely be how easy it is to update content/information. The ability to have our individual departments manage their own pages because the system is plug and play. I no longer have to worry about my team messing up the look of individual pages. The system takes care of that and is so easy to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solodev?

My least favorite thing so far is that now that my website is live I have to publish in two places in order for content to immediately show up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Solodev:

If you are looking to create a whole new look and feel for your website I would HIGHLY recommend Solodev. They gave us a superior design, listened to what our needs were, and completed the job in a very rigorous timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The use of a module for staff is really going to help us minimize the issue of an outdated staff list and provide a great directory! The NEWS module is a feature that we look forward to helping get stories out about our district before anyone else has the opportunity to. The calendar module gives our community a great way to sort our events to find the information they are looking for. The I Want To Module is already a big favorite of the community as well. The superior design makes it so easy for our community to find what they are looking for. They have also been absolutely fantastic with communication from the design team to the back-end developers when we have something that needs so be tweaked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Solodev?

Our experience with Solodev replacing our old, outdated website at volusiasheriff.org was excellent. The responsiveness and speed of staff and the quick access to help whenever we need it are some of the best aspects of working with Solodev. Whenever we want to add a new feature, or need help with an existing one, we can count on a quick response from Solodev support and a resolution that works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solodev?

There has been no downside so far. Solodev has met or exceeded every expectation and done everything we've asked throughout the process of launching a new website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have been able to launch a more nimble website that is easier to update with new information when needed. That allows us to share timely news, highlight certain stories or issues when they're most relevant, and keep our residents informed with a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Solodev?

Very user-friendly and easy to teach new staff members how to use. Everything is 100% custom, so if you dream it, you can do it. This is easy. Drag & Drop feature to the design and development of your website will help you move things faster. It is compatible with all devices. It is by default in the AWS marketplace. Also, it has excellent integration with salesforce, and it works perfectly with Marketo digital marketing app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solodev?

As I said, this is 100% custom. Everything is custom, which will be a problem when we want to make minor adjustments without coding. That's it. There is no other dislike option or features in Solodev. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's easy to navigate through the back-end, and the pages are straightforward to update. So there is no problem with this as a web developer. In case this is 100% custom, and so it will be a problem when we want to make minor adjustments without coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from of Solodev

Thanks Osanda! Developers are the soul of Solodev, and we love supporting their desire to go custom. At the same time, we understand that some users need it to be low-code – so our backend features strive to make it easier to make updates. If you have questions on how to better utilize those capabilities, let us know! We love the feedback, and appreciate you being part of our community!

What do you like best about Solodev?

The customer service experience was outstanding, from start to end of the project and beyond. Response time was excellent when we had questions or needed help. The team we worked with were all very welcoming and we had the feeling of being one team together, instead of customer and vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solodev?

Nothing - we had a great experience with Solodev. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Solodev:

We have been very happy with our decision to go with Solodev. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are continuing to improve the user experience with our website, and the CMS is helping make that happen. For benefits, their continued support is a major benefit. We have had them jump in and fix a major issue before we could report it--and that was the only time we had a major issue to report, several months after going live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from of Solodev

Thanks Elaine! What an amazing review! We love being part of your team and supporting your success on the Solodev platform. Please reach out to our help desk if you need anything at all - and let us know what we can do to make your experience even better.

What do you like best about Solodev?

Whenever I have an issue, the Solodev team is quick to respond with either and answer or more information about how we could move forward with the problem. Their staff is very knowledgeable and is always very willing to explain why something is happening or how something helps or what issues there are in a way I understand, which helps me be able to explain it to others who have less knowledge about website maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solodev?

Their system is not user friendly. It's often hard to find what your looking for and can make things like updating numbers on web pages take longer than it should or would in a better organized system. Other changes are just completely unavailable and requires the team's help even if you know how to solve it yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Solodev:

If you think you're doing to need a lot of support managing your website and want more control over it than something like WordPress or SquareSpace will give you, you may want to consider Solodev. However, you're going to pay for all those services, so really think about what your needs are and what kind of budget you have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Solodev helps keep my company's website healthy. I do like having a team I can reach out to, especially about larger problems. Their team is very quick to respond and very knowledgeable. It's nice knowing there's a team out there who can solve issues that arise. It's good website insurance, so to speak.

One thing I do think Solodev could improve on is explaining exactly what they're doing behind the scenes. I have enough technical knowledge to know there's a lot that goes behind keeping a website up but not enough to understand it or explain it to anyone else when they ask about it, which leaves me and others wondering what the day-to-day is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from of Solodev

Thanks so much for your input! This is exactly what we want from our superusers: honest feedback. We know there's always room for improvement, and we want you to be part of that roadmap. We would love to share more about our day-to-day, so please reach out with any questions - we're more than happy to share what we're building and improving to make your experience even better.
