Likelihood to Recommend In my experience, Jahia Digital Experience Platform as a CMS platform is excellent when you have a large amount of content that needs to be customized. It is also good for when you have templated content that has minor variations. I would say it is less appropriate when the content has numerous mathematical computations, or a large amount of business logic that comes into play with data processing.

You are even able to add custom apps that are not in their list of pre-made apps you can add. So I am able to add all the apps and custom apps that I need for doing my jobs. I don't think Rambox would be very useful for people that don't log into web apps often using a web browser. I use this app mostly because I have so many web logins and it makes it easy to manage in one app, instead of logging into several websites.

The back office interface sometimes encounters bugs or display problems. It's difficult to keep pre-production sites up to date in terms of content compared to production, because the time required to import/export sites is very long once the site is rich in content. Read full review Sometimes the loading can be slow if you have many apps enabled and starting at first run Icon's help me find what I need. It would be nice to have an easier way to upload from like a gallery that Rambox hosts rather than to have to find your own off the web. I wish you could make folders or something within the workspaces for more organization Read full review Likelihood to Renew I would not use Jahia as it proved too complex for our needs and didn't help our over goal of customer satisfaction. Along with the man hours to build and execute, it wasn't worth the hassle

Read full review Support Rating As I was saying, the support makes sure to be available for any question, or any technical point that we may need to discuss about. Moreover, whenever we have an issue with the platform they get alerted and also send us an email so that we are aware. We had multiple complex topics to work on in the past, but they always have been answering our question
Read full review Alternatives Considered Jahia provides a similar user experience to other CMS I have used in the past - it features a simple interface that makes navigating and learning how to use the platform easy and the ability to copy and paste content saves time and effort when building new pages. The ease in which you can manage the site in different languages is also a big plus!
Read full review There was one other one that I tried and I honestly don't remember the name. Rambox beat it by far... One reason, I was able to get a lifetime license (Which they have deals for that I think once a year, so keep your eyes open for it), and the other app I tried was a subscription. I really did not want another subscription. Another reason, the other app was not able to do as much as far as custom apps and the loading was much faster with Rambox.

Pages are snappy and bug-free, which wasn't always the case. Jahia Digital Experience Platform has mapped our complex organization into nice roles and permissions. All our external services were nicely integrated into a modern portal. Read full review Rambox has saved me time on not having to dig up website URL's and login credentials for quick access to sites when I need to use them. saves time and money in the long run. Being able to install on a different device and have everything sync also saves me time and money. Rambox allows you to organize all your apps in different work spaces so I can have several but go the workspace of apps that I need for special use cases. Saves me time to not have to remember which web apps I need for a certain job. Saves me a bunch of time and money. Read full review ScreenShots Jahia Digital Experience Platform Screenshots
