Acoustic Content vs. Percussion CMS

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.

Best suited for large organizations where everyone knows how to deal with Java in an increasingly Java unfriendly world. Said organization should be willing to pay a huge price for a piece of dinosaur technology

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

• Separate CMS environment publishes to remote server environment - great for security
• Highly scalable
• Full scale workflow allows for custom routing, approving, etc..

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• There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.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

• One word: JAVA! We don't live in the 1990's anymore! An AJAX/DHTML environment seems a long time coming.
• Horrible end-user experience, learning curve. Our end users' inability to easily use the archaic, Java-based interface, means they send the web developer their content requests. This creates a huge bottleneck and completely defeats the purpose of a CMS.
• Image mangement and integration with content is aweful and time consuming. An image processing tool called ImedImage was developed for Percussion at one point, and left completely stagnant with very little support.
• Implementation is extremely complicated, given the complexity of the system. Sure, scalability is a good thing, but there is very little out-of-the box function. Don't expect to implement a site as quickly as with other CMS platforms.

No contest. I can't wait to get off of Percussion CMS.

• 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

• We are locked into Percussion CMS simply due to the expense and complexity of migrating to another solution (and the lack of time and budget to do so). I long for the day when I am no longer required to support Percussion CMS, to say the least.
