Acoustic Content (formerly IBM Watson Content Hub) vs Agility CMS

Likelihood to Recommend

We can organize all our content easily by uploading content files and other digital assets. CMS smart AI generates metadata by tagging them automatically which helps us to sort our content into different categories. CMS content modeling feature helps us to visualize our content structure, assemble them in an intelligent manner and reuse the content whenever we want to for different purposes.

Agility is well suited for companies that want a balance of control and support. For major global site updates, these can be handled by Agility's support team, while minimal changes and updates can be performed autonomously by the company's own staff with ease. For companies that are interested in flexibility to reconstruct site structure or major global facelifts, Agility is less ideal because these changes must be handled and paid for through Agility support.

Cons

The organization of the application is poor and some elements could be more easily accessible not buried in menus.
There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.
Does not work well with our IBM applications as well as you would expect, which seems a common issue with IBM products.

The filing system and search function are often difficult to navigate. Finding a file that I've uploaded isn't always easy to locate in Agility CMS
The WYSIWYG content manager isn't always intuitive. I often have to go directly into HTML editing to resolve line spacing problems

Agility CMS 9.0

Based on 2 answers

Support is always available and responsive when we email, responding right away that they are on the case, even if they are unable to solve the issue right away. Support will usually find the issue of our problem quickly and require minimal hand-holding, direction, or re-explanation from our team. They are knowledgeable about the platform and our instance and are able to run diagnostics with minimal information from us. When issues are resolved they always request confirmation that things are working as expected before closing out our tickets.

Agility is specialized in the content while the others disperse their attention into many other subjects or fields. Agility can store all your product, attribute and category information and then plug it into your website to automatically updates the front end, whenever you change it at the PIM (you decide how often you want to sync).HubSpot specializes more into marketing and Salesforce is a monster, but only if you can afford it.

It is fairly simple for our employees to make web updates via Agility CMS, and this greatly optimizes our employee efficiency.
We are able to load and host company files easily via Agility CMS Media & Documents, which allows minimal, quick content sharing between departments when other file sharing platforms are not available.
Automation platforms and tracking code easily integrate with Agility CMS global headers to allow us to seamlessly acquire analytics on our site visits and content access.
