CMS for Distributed Content & Distribution vs. Jahia Digital Experience Platform

In my experience, Jahia Digital Experience Platform as a CMS platform is excellent when you have a large amount of content that needs to be customized. It is also good for when you have templated content that has minor variations. I would say it is less appropriate when the content has numerous mathematical computations, or a large amount of business logic that comes into play with data processing.

• Content management: It is very easy to update text, images, files and videos even for a non technical user.
• Multi-site Management: It has a robust multi-site management capability, It helps in maintaining multiple websites with consistent branding.
• Digital asset management: It is easier to store organize and retrieve images, videos and documents.
• It has a great built-in analytics and reporting feature.

• It lacks the ability to manage multiple versions of a page or content in general.
• The back office interface sometimes encounters bugs or display problems.
• It's difficult to keep pre-production sites up to date in terms of content compared to production, because the time required to import/export sites is very long once the site is rich in content.

I would not use Jahia as it proved too complex for our needs and didn't help our over goal of customer satisfaction. Along with the man hours to build and execute, it wasn't worth the hassle

The interface and ergonomics are designed to facilitate the use of the product. The creation of template is easy which allows to minimize the actions necessary for the provision of content.

[I give it this rating because it] was up most of the time. There are so many scheduled reboots that I don't think it would be a good choice for a 95% SLA.

As I was saying, the support makes sure to be available for any question, or any technical point that we may need to discuss about. Moreover, whenever we have an issue with the platform they get alerted and also send us an email so that we are aware. We had multiple complex topics to work on in the past, but they always have been answering our question

Jahia provides a similar user experience to other CMS I have used in the past - it features a simple interface that makes navigating and learning how to use the platform easy and the ability to copy and paste content saves time and effort when building new pages. The ease in which you can manage the site in different languages is also a big plus!

You can create your own feature module and it can be resuable across the projects. The Java libraries is available for development of Tomcat or JSP
