CoreMedia
I think this CMS is best suited as an enterprise level system. For small, or simple sites, there are better options, but for large high-traffic sites, this is a great CMS.

Open Source
TYPO3 is great if you need to connect some systems in company to work together: like ecommerce + CRM + ERP + MRP and build an Extranet for partners/dealers where they can order your products, see particular BOM (bill of material), paid/unpaid invoices and use email marketing on top of it. You can do it but keep in mind that you will need a dedicated hosting, well organized admin(s) and some handwritten code. For simple blog TYPO3 is also a good choose, but WP would be better I think.

Pros
CoreMedia
  • Allows many staff members to contribute content to various portions of our website, and allows our Electronic-Communications staff to delegate tasks to these various staff (diffusing the work-load).
  • CoreMedia allows for easy creation of different types of content (like teasers, articles, download objects, links, etc). Permission levels can be set, so only certain staff can upload content such as photos, videos, or audio files.
  • The CoreMedia workflow process is easy to understand and follow. Once a staff member has submitted content for publishing to the web, they can then see who it's been assigned to for review, and at what time. You're able to leave detailed notes and stay abreast of where the workflow is at any given time.

Open Source
  • open source - do what you want, and even if you dont know how to do it - someone will do it for you
  • more secure than others (Joomla, WP, Drupal) - thanks to dedicated Typo3 Security Team
  • modularity and diversity - a lot of plugins/extensions
  • workflow and user roles - feel free to build a workflow templates ie. for documents routing
  • assets management - no matter is it a video, audio or text file, you can REALLY manage it.
  • typoscript language - sometimes JS is not enough

Cons
CoreMedia
  • Early learning within the company was slow.
  • We elected a customized version of CoreMedia - which in the end may not have been the best decision.

Open Source
  • compared do Wordpress - far less community support
  • when you run a simple blog - it is simple as piece of cake. But if it is a large news site, with many user roles, extensions and permissions - it may be hard to find an admin that will organize and keep that stuff working.
  • server resources: so you want performance and speed with all that modules enabled? make sure that you have dedicated server in most cases. WP works much better here.

CoreMedia continues to refine and deliver new features. They also explore new technologies and trends, like social media integration. The platform is solid and growing. We are also slightly locked into using CoreMedia. Migrating such a large amount of content to another system would likely not be feasible or prudent.

Set aside more time than you think you need to migrate content. That is the hard part. Implementing the technology is easy.

Alternatives Considered
CoreMedia
While CoreMedia has a better workflow, django CMS has a much easier user interface, wysiwyg editor, and is superior on every other level. Django CMS is easier to teach and support, easier to manage and develop, and provides much more flexibility in the development and design areas.

Open Source
  • more complex and elastic revoke system (undoing changes for multi-administrator systems) PHP/JS and TypoScript language
  • LTS - long ter msupport (bugfixes and updates)
  • usage rights and permissions (much more advanced thatn in WP/Joomla)
  • separation of design and content (in WP also but here is complex)
  • many plugins to integrate with external systems
  • several portals may be operated from a single admin/install

Return on Investment
CoreMedia
  • Increased employee proficiency compared to nothing at all. I really don't have anything else to compare it to though.
  • Reports from Core do not help/.

Open Source
  • + 1 platform that handles connections to 11 external systems (CMS, CMR, ERP, MRP, accounting, controlling, email marketing etc.)
  • + still lower TCO than commercial systems (Oracle, Microsoft)
  • + LTS - long term support - can provide you an updates or bugfixes
  • - resource consuming (forget about shared hosting in large projects)
