ButterCMS vs. Umbraco CMS

ButterCMS is suited if you are looking to have total headless cms and not cms that are like AEM or WordPress. Marketing multi engines and blogs are a few features to discover here. Do not enter this CMS in case you have no idea of headless cms. Having a little understanding would help.

Umbraco CMS is the perfect tool for a company that is looking to keep their website updated. The simple to use tools and templates means updating and creating new pages is easy. The WYSIWYG editor is a nice feature, however, for accessibility, there should be some more guidance on what is suitable to be used on the CMS.

• Engineering excellence
• Much more access and development can be done

• Quick to learn. For most if cases, developer needs to know Razor coding.
• Doesn't require back-end programming.
• Has build in users management (developers, content managers) and members management consoles (users of the site).
• Clear admin tool (especially in version 7)
• Fast.
• Creating code from scratch, so it is easier to create clean code.

• Pricing could be checked
• Maybe add an option to create sites using builders
• Easily migrate existing sites

Incentivized

• Speed for older sites - Umbraco content can load slowly if you have thousands of pages of content. Of course, this would not be a problem for simpler websites
• Complexity - since the product is free out-of-the-box, it will take technical expertise to get Umbraco setup properly

Many end users will be overwhelmed with the admin interface. Some common functions are buried in menus

Occasionally, errors will appear in the admin that make it impossible to work without developer support.

Working in the admin panel (adding / reviewing / editing content) is very slow. The public facing site speed is dependent on what the pages are doing and how well the code was written (whether it is optimized for speed).

Support for Umbraco-owned paid plugins is nonexistent.

Online training is often based on older versions of the platform. So, you'll have to fill in the gaps on your own.

ButterCMS has been here for a while and we at our company know and understand how important brand value can be hence our decision to go ahead with this product. Has been brilliant so far. Save time and handle maintenance measures also help hence this product. Others in this category were not much that we were aware of.

Umbraco's templating is far superior than WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, but it's update process is WAY behind those platforms. The release schedule of Umbraco is way to often and most releases are to fix something missed in the previous release and not an improvement or new feature of the CMS

Without significant development, the product does not scale well.
