User Testimonials
	Elementor	Progress Sitefinity
Likelihood to Recommend	I would recommend this for the ease of use and price. It is a good value for any website developer or designer to be able to create multiple websites a year with super simple coding. If you've got a way to speed up your website without using WP Rocket, then it's even better! I think this software is specifically made for someone with a coding background and would recommend that you have a background with Wordpress to make using this software even easier Incentivized IS Isabel Sam Owner Read full review	It's one of the easiest to use, easiest to customize CMS system available on the Microsoft technology stack. Whenever there's an application need for user management, role-based permissions, workflows and page-content, it is simply not done to start custom development from scratch. For complex 'factory-approaches' its architectural implementation shines brightest and allows for hybrid deployments, full Azure DevOps integration and ensures security and governance are not sacrificed Jochem Bökkers Sitefinity lead Read full review
Pros	Theme builder (header, footer, site parts) Forms, with options for what to do with form submissions after they've been submitted (email, collect , push to EMS) Easy to use widgets for things that would otherwise need coding manually (sliders, carousels, flip boxes etc.) Pre-built templates Dynamic conditions for content display Incentivized NL Nathan Littleton Director Read full review	Once templates and custom data has been defined, it is very easy for CMS authors/editors to manage content on the site without knowledge of HTML programming. Programming templates and custom module and extending the CMS is fairly straightforward for our development team. Security is in the forefront, with regular updates and enhancements to the product. Working with support is great, they have extensive knowledge on the product are able to assist if called upon. Product utilizes .net standards, and also integrates well will standard front end tools such as jquery/bootstrap. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Could definitely use an AI bot for ad-hoc customer queries Very limited Wdgets available in free version - If you have complex pages, go pro Ensure robust internet speed (50 MBPS bare minimum) to be able to operate it. Below 8 GB RAM is not advised Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Diagram or illustrate more use cases for server setups, and managing of upgrades. I'd like to see the ability to synchronize from one server to multiple others at once. Implementation assistance as part of the purchase rather than farming out to 3rd party, although they did answer every question we asked in order to determine our best architecture setup.

Usability	Elementor is one of those website builders that is really easy to get started with. The drag and drop features make it easy to create attractive and creative webpages for even the non-website designer. Some of the features available are not easy to find or easy to discover when you first start using Elementor. Practice makes perfect. Incentivized Ayo Bamgbose Assoc CIPD MSc Online digital business coach Read full review	Very big fan of this CMS, as it allows scalability, performance, and everything else. The support is great whenever we need it. As a marketer, the digital/marketing side of things is very easy to use and we've seen strong results from an SEO and marketing perspective. I can't speak to the developer/creative side too much, but in talking with these teams, they do recommend the tool as well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Performance	No answers on this topic	A bit sluggish sometimes as the compiler works. Kelly Martinez Systems Manager / Application Developer Read full review
Support Rating	There support is slow and at times can be frustrating and this is why many prefer to air out their frustrations within the Facebook group community. I tend to give up as when I'm working on something and something goes wrong I need the help straight away. I do not have the patience to wait anymore. Incentivized Ayo Bamgbose Assoc CIPD MSc Online digital business coach Read full review	Support can be pretty good, even though, depending on the level of licensing, it can take longer to hear back from their team. They do have a phone option, which works well. Overall, they are knowledgeable, and helpful when needed. At times, support is able to access the system directly and troubleshoot critical items when needed. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	The business team has to stick to its core competencies - Our key turning point occured when we delegated webpage design challenges to a tech. firm with specific mandates (including a certain degree of internal control). Once the initial go-live was completed, the agency trained us on internalizing ad-hoc and tactical change work Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	N/A - I was not part of the implementation team. We have had this internally for over 5 years. Based on my experience, ensure that you have documentation on the initial implementation and subsequent upgrades.

Return on Investment	Our sales have really grown over the past five years of using Elementor. We went from fulfilling less than five orders a month to now 10-15 per months. And we are a small bulk food store with a small audience. We have been able to add plug ins along with Elementor to customize our products, store, and pages.
