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.

Great for solo-preneurs, agencies and businesses of all sizes. It is feature rich, easy to use even for non coders, beginners and those where design is not your strength. Everyone can use WebWave. Simple, easy to create and launch in a couple of hours.

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.

- The UI is a bit complicated but contains all the features and functions needed.
- No coding skill is required. We can focus on design. And the design process is quite fun.
- We can adjust and control all the elements of the web easily with WebWave. And I like the richness of the elements available in WebWave.

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.

- The only thing I would change is to add more payment options in the case of the store (it is about plug-ins). PayPal and cryptocurrency would also be useful.

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.

1. The support person does not seem to understand the issues, and seems like they go off to talk to somebody and revert back every 5 to 10 minutes. It takes up a lot of time.2. There is a lack of reading material to address simple issues like changing the website name in the dashboard, pasting a code, etc.

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.

WebWave has an extensive feature set and the price is a great bargain. Its functionality overall is better and allows the end-user more control over their overall design. The included editor and design review features are top-notch and extremely useful. I'd highly recommend it to any web-developer, but it could also be great for an end user with some design experience.

- 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/.
