Acoustic Content vs. Amaxus CMS (discontinued)

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.

Amaxus is well suited as a development platform and content management system for companies who have a dedicated, experienced development team because it has such complex functionality. It is not well suited for companies whose main content updater will be a person with limited development experience, because it is so hard to learn and understand how to use.

Incentivized

• Creating separate pages is easy and straightforward and only requires basic basic knowledge to get started
• Advanced API calls can be easily built.

• There is a lot of flexibility and power with what you can do.
• The client has a lot of power to make changes on their own without needing a development team.

Incentivized

• 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• There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.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.

Incentivized

• There is a huge learning curve for developers. All our new website builds were going beyond the timeline because of the learning curve.
• It is very complex and teaching our clients how to use it required several training sessions.

Added benefit

Incentivized

I have used an in-house CMS which was very simple and only allowed the user to update very basic templated content, and I have used Sitecore, which is sort of like a middle-of-the-road. Sitecore is great because it allows for the user to have a lot of control over templates and updating content, but it's not so complex that it is very difficult and time-consuming to learn how to use, like Amaxus.

Incentivized

• With the AI based content organizer in place, we can focus more on the content creation.
• Acoustic Content makes sure your content is safe and secure with its Content Delivery Networks and we can easily pull out the right content into our channels with the help of its REST APIs.
• With their rich Digital Asset Management capabilities, we can find most suitable images to go with your content

Incentivized

• It has a negative impact because it put us back on our timelines.
• It had a negative impact because our customers didn't like the learning curve to use it.
• It had a negative impact because it caused so much stress among our team to learn it.
