Open Source
TYPO3 is great if you need to connect some systems in company to work together: like ecommerce + CRM + ERP + MRP and build an Extranet for partners/dealers where they can order your products, see particular BOM (bill of material), paid/unpaid invoices and use email marketing on top of it. You can do it but keep in mind that you will need a dedicated hosting, well organized admin(s) and some handwritten code. For simple blog TYPO3 is also a good choose, but WP would be better I think.

Open Source
  • open source - do what you want, and even if you dont know how to do it - someone will do it for you
  • more secure than others (Joomla, WP, Drupal) - thanks to dedicated Typo3 Security Team
  • modularity and diversity - a lot of plugins/extensions
  • workflow and user roles - feel free to build a workflow templates ie. for documents routing
  • assets management - no matter is it a video, audio or text file, you can REALLY manage it.
  • typoscript language - sometimes JS is not enough

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  • There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.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

Open Source
  • compared do Wordpress - far less community support
  • when you run a simple blog - it is simple as piece of cake. But if it is a large news site, with many user roles, extensions and permissions - it may be hard to find an admin that will organize and keep that stuff working.
  • server resources: so you want performance and speed with all that modules enabled? make sure that you have dedicated server in most cases. WP works much better here.

  • + still lower TCO than commercial systems (Oracle, Microsoft)
  • + LTS - long term support - can provide you an updates or bugfixes
  • - resource consuming (forget about shared hosting in large projects)
