DNN Platform vs. Duda

DNN [Platform] is great for organizations of any size who wish to have a robust CMS to manage their site. DNN is not ideal for a small site that is better suited to a super easy to user interface such as Wix. DNN [Platform] is plenty strong enough for enterprises and large entities.

Duda is great for agencies. There is a good client management area. It's even good for small businesses. They can choose a template and build out their own site. It's easy to customizes a website from a barebones template. There are many customizations in the each widget. The pricing is good for all size businesses. There is no tech headache with updates and backups.

• Very easy to use CMS - Ease of use is paramount with CMS products to minimise on support calls. Also the template structure of pages ensures that content editors cannot inadvertently corrupt the layout of the page.
• Powerful application framework - The existence of APIs for all functionality within the CMS provides limitless scope in terms of developing bespoke applications which sit within the CMS.
• Commercially supported option available - For larger clients, the comfort factor of having a direct line to the developers of the application is a big selling point.

• Out of the box, it has some modules, but not enough unless you do a paid version.
• The support is a bit slow.
• The menuing can be confusing and terms used a bit strange. which makes training difficult.

• Ecommerce can use some improvement--but this should be taken care of in 2023
• A more robust app marketplace
• More custom widgets

Again, this platform has to be one of the easiest web development sites I have ever used in my life. From creating pages to linking buttons, hiding pages, and more, it makes it so much easier to develop websites for clients, including forms and custom membership login portals. It really is the best.

My experience with Joomla! was over six years ago so a lot could have changed. However, I prefer DNN over Joomla because DNN offers more modules and a better administration user interface.

I can't speak to why my agency selected Duda, but I can say from personal experience that building a website in Duda is much easier, and backed by better support than any other website builder I've used. Duda allows me, as a web designer, to still create great looking and unique websites. I find that other platforms, while they may provide nice templates, make it very difficult to deviate from the guardrails they put in place. Through the years, even the most basic site that I've built in Duda is significantly better than those built in other platforms

• DNN helps us win bids on projects through the improvements the community has done over the past few years; we were ready to scrap it all together but it has made great strides
• DNN's community has come back and is actively working to improve and expand the capabilities of the cms
• on a negative note, the confusion between evoq and dnn has caused us headaches

Incentivized

• Much faster project turnaround
• Easy for non-tech staff to handle some of the work
• Costs are lower than we were paying for less capabilities before we switched to Duda
