    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.

    Vendasta
    Vendasta is perfect for solo digital marketing agencies that are looking to scale up their business. I've already recommended them to several other marketers, and they profusely thanked me for doing so! As far as acquiring new customers, we've found Vendasta to be a perfect solution for businesses that do not have their own internal marketing department, typically SBAs that only have a Marketing Director, or even just the business owner who wears too many hats. When we've bumped into larger companies that already have their own marketing suite and software set up, then they're usually less interested in adopting our platform.

    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.

    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.

    • Their team is so large that sometimes I end up communicating with people who have no familiarity with BRN and our clients, so I end up having to repeat a lot of things to make sure we're on the same page.

    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.

    The usability continues to improve. Adding a true mobile app for client use would be a great next step.

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

    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.

    I don't find anything in your listings that I have used. I have run ads myself. I have built websites myself. I have run email campaigns with other autoresponders myself. Vendasta beats all those.

    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/.
