Accrisoft Freedom vs. Ingeniux CMS

The only thing I believe Accrisoft Freedom is not as well suited is for large e-commerce sites. Accrisoft Freedom actually has an E-commerce module and can do products and online sales, however if this is the majority of what your business does (or your clients' businesses), I would recommend an E-commerce focused CMS.
For almost all other circumstances I can think of though, I would recommend Accrisoft Freedom - ma and pa shops on up to a corporation.

This is a CMS solution that uses ASP and now XSLT and ASP.NET MVC environment, so make sure your servers are Windows based. Also, be sure to speak about audits to your CMS environment, this can save you time, money and energy if you intend on developing anything custom in the future. The more prepared your environment, the smoother it is to use this powerful cms.

• Hosting and maintenance is taken care of. Due to it being proprietary software, everything is built to work together.
• Simple to use. Basic functionality for websites is built in without having to dig through thousands of potential options.
• Development is straightforward...no backend languages required. So if someone wants a unique layout for a portfolio, it's very simple to add a new content type and build the new layout using basic html and css.

• Its dashboard is quite clear and visible.
• Its reports are very flexible and helpful for us since they contain all the information that is necessary.
• The content scheduling feature is good in facilitating us by publishing the content at the time we set.
• A content repository is amazing as it allows editing, tagging and managing, and storage of the published as well as scheduled publish content.

• Their preview setup for reviewing page changes prior to pushing them live is not good. You basically have to push things live to see how they will look, then go back and tweak it, while the changes in progress are live on the site. They need a sandbox, or a better preview feature within the backend so you dont have to keep pushing changes live to test out functionality.
• Integration with outside tools is non existent. Instead of trying to force people to use their modules or features it would make much more sense to more easily integrate with leading tools in niche spaces.
• The UI is pretty old. It could use a big refresh. Things like drag and drop builders and functionality should be standard these days. This is also a plus for non tech savvy users as it keeps their page structures to what works without letting people tinker. But if you want to tinker and be a higher end user Freedom isn't the best bet.

• SEO Management - though our courses are not available free publicly but still within our systems a better search engine for the courses and its content could work very well.
• Ingeniux could be more interactive when it comes to exporting/importing documents.

We switched to WordPress; it was out of my control.

IGX CMS is a stable product and IGX is a stable company with several other offerings that pair with the CMS including an LMS and CRM (among others).

This rating is based on personal experience only. I believe majority of people would say their support is top notch & 10/10. The only reason I am personally am giving it lower is because I consider my self a much more advanced user of Freedom than their typical Solution Provider developers. Because I am advanced, I troubleshoot my own issues pretty in-depth before I even contact Accrisoft support. Therefore sometimes I feel it takes longer to get the researched & specific answer I need vs. a simple support question would.

In all honesty, we have been moving away from Accrisoft Freedom due to its lack of customizability. We as an agency generally prefer open source solutions since our client base primarily consists of those looking for a more custom solution that can be built off of in the future. While yes, these tend to need more care and attention, they have benefited us more.

I have only used the free versions of the other softwares. My Ingeniux CMS experience was much better but I had the paid version

• This was the first CMS we had at our company so hard to say positive or negative impact.
• Prior to this CMS there was a static site that html files had to be ftp to a company to have the site updated. So from that standpoint it made updating the site much less expensive.
• Compared to a tool like Wordpress this is much more secure and easier to manage, but since we outsource that portion of it to the company that built the site we dont realize those gains.

• Company employees can easily locate product documentation now. Our team doesn't have to field nearly as many pings and calls from people looking for content.
• The writers can manage the content much more easily now. For example, multiple writers can work on individual topics as opposed to passing around Word files.
• We can single-source content that is duplicated across the site. This is a huge time saver.
