Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System
The primary usage is in managing content for our main website, with approximately 3000 individual pages. Optimizely (Or EpiServer in our case) provides a fast and easy solution to replicate blocks and templates to make our daily tasks in creating and managing these pages more efficient and seemless. Our product pages require frequent updates and we really appreciate how much customisation can be provided. We provide a wide range of products along with news content, upcoming events, forms and a comprehensive search function has made navigating all these a breeze.
- Customisation
- Scripting support
- Customer support is vert fast and helpful
- Forms had trouble with high traffic
- Occassional disconnections while working
- Reduced time to publish high quality web stories to as low as 5 minutes
- Able to make simultaneous changes across website with a single edit
- Real-time updates so content reaches our audience faster
Once our systems and endpoints were connected, the overall setup was quite straightforward, and we were able to quickly lift and shift our content to the platform. Within a short period of time, we started delivering our regular content experiences for our audience. Further changes were implemented by our contracted developers to get some customisation working for us but since then it has run smoothly.
Ultimately, our decision to choose EpiServer/Optimizely CMS over WordPress was because of our need for a more extensive enterprise level CMS. EpiServer provides a much more in depth level of personalisation which lets us build the website that we need to in order to offer the best possible experience to our end users. The search functionality that we can provide gives a very professional and polished feel to our customers which is greatly appreciated.
