Acoustic Content (formerly IBM Watson Content Hub) vs Kentico Kontent

Likelihood to Recommend

It is appropriate for building custom pages/apps that call specific programs and content without giving direct access to those programs. We have yet to come across a proposed use case where it was inappropriate to use.

Really easy integration to all of our services and apps. Delivery API libraries make the integration really fast. On the other hand, I miss the option to use SSO (Single Sign-On) with the Professional version of the Kentico Kontent. However, it is included in the Enterprise package.

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There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.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

Alternatives Considered

I haven't had experience outside of the IBM applications but can confirm that compared to other content tools provided by IBM, this is one of the more complete packages.

Unified access to the same content without the need to duplicate it across multiple solutions. We do not need to set up a complicated infrastructure to start using the Kentico Kontent.
