Amaxus CMS (discontinued) vs. Duda

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.

For both service, and a variety of ecom needs, Duda delivers!

• 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

• Seamless customer experience during page approval process
• Highest score in core web vitals when compared to other CMS platforms
• Duda will allow you to build websites faster, training team members and clients on the platform is a breeze

• 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.

Incentivized

• Ecommerce can use some improvement--but this should be taken care of in 2023
• A more robust app marketplace
• More custom widgets

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.

Much easier for non-tech team members to work on building and maintaining websites. Previous Adobe-based websites clients have been very happy with Duda. Overall, clients can do a lot more on their own, if they choose, than with other website platforms we have used, or that clients have used through other providers.

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.

Incentivized

• In the time it would have taken to build one website on WordPress, I built three on Duda.
