FirstSpirt CMS vs. MARMIND

Crownpeak DXM is a great solution if you are looking for a flexible platform that allows engineers to quickly develop while also making it easy for content authors to work especially in scenarios where you need multi-language support. It is also good for scenarios where you want a cloud-based solution and are looking for just one vendor to handle hosting and offer the CMS.

MARMIND helps for the simple and complete structuring of complex marketing efforts. MARMIND is great support for marketing automation with room atop. We did communicate better within our marketing team. It was a big performance enhancement throughout marketing. MARMIND is easy and comfortable to learn and use with no delay starting. The adaption to our needs and wishes was really great and left a tight binding to it. We are convinced that the support by MARMIND was a great help and sustain to our intents. We realized that we did the very right decision to change to this marketing platform. We gained more overview and control in the right mixture between grossness and detail. We change after the first success with all our marketing to it. This change was really a no-timer and we were very satisfied with this change and the change in the underlying strategies. The app shortened our processes and made us enhance every step of them. The overall result was a closer communication at the more motivating steps of the marketing processes and a great plus in employee satisfaction. We had several impressive feedback loops and are convinced we will still make several in the future. The notifications, annotations, commentaries, assets, and drafts gave us an important new perspective on which we will develop our company further. Setting targets and arranging better-pre informed meetings and events in the marketing team and with external companies and customers enhanced our experiences.

• Crownpeak moved to a web browser admin tool in 2018, which has made the admin experience much better, but there are still a couple of features missing from the browser version that won't arrive until later in 2019.
• Integration with 3rd party digital asset management tools would be great.
• Smoother integration with source control would be nice.

None of our Crownpeak clients are currently thinking about replatforming.

Crownpeak DXM is a flexible easy to use CMS platform speaking to the most challenging localization scenarios. Crownpeak users have the freedom to integrate DXM platform with their existing technology at no cost. Moving from legacy systems to the Saas platform is painless and cost-effective. Extensive targeting and personalization options are something that users will benefit from.

We have never encountered any issues with the availability.

Pages load very fast on production (assuming you develop with basic SEO practices in place) due to Crownpeak's publishing architecture. The slide downside is that publishing can be a bit slow at times.

Crownpeak DXM's service and support are outstanding. We have immediate access to both the tech support team and the software engineering team. We can get a support person on the phone whenever needed, and we can schedule impromptu training sessions at any time. Best support I have ever received from a platform provider in 20 years of software and application development.

We received on-site training from Crownpeak, the trainer had touched upon every possible scenario and provided great insights about the product & ease of implementation.

My team left training with a solid understanding of how to use the product and the developer training ended with a test to ensure the ability to properly develop was learned properly. Recently, Crownpeak has added a self-paced training option which makes it extremely flexible to on-board new developers.

SaaS model is perfect for us to avoid slow and costly version updates to get access to new features and functions. Crownpeak is a true SaaS model, so we get all the good new stuff without the need to invest in effort, time or money. this frees our teams to focus on content creation and deployment, which is pretty fast because the DXM publishes straight to html through the headless model.

I was not at this team within my organization during the evaluation period of Crownpeak. However, my previous team used Sitecore. Crownpeak is a bit easier to use from a UI perspective and has more creative options within the tool. Sitecore's clunky UI also was a reason I found out later why we ended up using Crownpeak as our DXM.

MARMIND had a better efforts-to-outcome factor. We consider it for our needs as much more suitable. This is a matter of scale and resources. We loved MARMIND from the very first impressions. It stimulates our company marketing efforts very much. The overview is very satisfactory. The software suited very well the educational level of our employees and made them quick very successful users. The role concepts matched very much our own. We are convinced that will still are in progress in getting better at MARMIND in all modules and with all processes. We consider ourselves at a very good level in using the software integrated tool landscape of MARMIND. It is stimulating and very satisfactory to plan, create, and evaluate marketing efforts of all kinds. We stopped leaving out marketing or procrastinating it. The overview is overwhelming. Everyone has great feedback and can watch the progress in the company. This is former missing feedback. So MARMIND transformed our company a lot not only our marketing. Because of the high standards in the modules that are implemented the difference may not be so big. The process standards are compliant and it is more or less a matter of personal preferences between the different brands.

In some recent projects we have delivered to our clients, we were able to roll out sites in shorter time period due the scalability of the Crownpeak's DXM solution.

• I'm pretty sure it raises our back-end development costs by making the development process (of creating input forms and producing outputs from the content) more complicated and painful than it needs to be.
• It helps lock our clients in to us because not a whole lot of agencies have Crownpeak expertise.
• It helps our clients not have to deal with their own IT teams, which they tend to dislike working with.
