Amaxus CMS (discontinued) vs. Podpage

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.

If you need a website to support a podcast there couldn't be an easier or more targeted solution.

• 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.

• Easy to build the website.
• Flexible to meet my needs.
• New features frequently released to make it even better.

• 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.

Podpage gave me a great looking site without needing to know coding languages like HTML and CSS. It seamlessly pulls in what I need for each episode from Buzzsprout. And I’m confident the site will stay current over time.

Most amazing support ever! Using the chat feature within Podpage, customer support responds quickly and accurately. Also actively involved with a user group on Facebook and promptly addresses questions there.

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.

Podpage is easier to use for someone like me who is technologically competent but not a coder (no HTML or CSS experience).

• 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.
