Acoustic Content (formerly IBM Watson Content Hub) vs Wordpress VIP

Likelihood to Recommend

It is advisable to create custom designs that call for specific programs and content without giving direct access to those programs. We still have to meet the proposed use case where it should not be used.

If you only have one website, I can't recommend this WordPress VIP, as this is really made to be purchased if you have a number of websites you would like to host at the same place. The loading speed is great on the server for all of our WordPress Multisites. The backups are often and reliable. This is wonderful if you use multisite installations. Reverting back to the older version is a breeze, so no more big headaches with updates. We can easily test plugins with the current version of Wordpress.

Cons

It doesn't work well with our IBM systems and as you might expect, that seems to be a common problem with IBM products.
Application settings are bad and some items are easily accessible and can be buried in menus

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.

Pagely is a good company as well as WordPress VIP, but I've found WordPress VIP to be superior overall. The costs are comparable between these two companies and the services are similar. Pagely has outstanding customer support that is unmatched from my experience, however, WordPress VIP seems to take care of many of the issues that may arise on Pagely and other WordPress website hosting platforms. I selected Wordpress VIP mainly because of the speed of the server on my Multisite install.
