Wordpress is an open-source publishing platform popular with bloggers, and a content management system, known for its simplicity and modifiability. Websites may host their own blogging communities, controlling and moderating content from a single dashboard.
Kentico is more geared towards professional websites than WordPress. As far along as WordPress has come, it's still mostly geared towards personal blogs. Kentico offers more features that are easily integrated such as e-commerce, newsletters, and marketing campaigns. Kentico …
I've used Sitecore, Ektron, Joomla!, WordPress, and SharePoint (if you want to count that as a competitor for CMS). Kentico 8 blows them all out of the water. Nothing is more intuitive in the way that content is created, the way the site is setup, and how efficient rollouts can …
Out of these CMS systems I've worked in, Kentico is still hands down the easiest to build and manage.
Ingeniux was a failed project, it was too cumbersome to work in (MVC based), it was a nightmare to do any custom dev work in it, couldn't debug, and their own staff couldn't get …

Chose Kentico Xperience
Kentico provided us with a far more robust and customizable platform than lower-cost alternatives such as Wix or Squarespace, and was available at a much lower cost of entry than ektron. It required a lot fewer fiddly uses of extensions than WordPress, though some custom …

Chose Kentico Xperience
I recently started learning Sitecore which resembles Kentico in some aspects, and I find Kentico to be more user-friendly and intuitive. Sitecore is a more robust system, but in my opinion it gives content administrators too many options, and has a way steeper learning curve. …
Kentico is a lot easier, more fluent and slicker than these products. It is easy to setup, use and teach others, so content can be managed by multiple users without any special training or skills i.e coding. It is definitely a lot more expensive so you are paying for a premium …
Kentico 8 really is a drastic improvement over previous versions of Kentico - the whole system is light years faster, much more intuitive to use and nicer for all users involved.
When discussing Kentico with clients, I find myself uttering the same phrase repeatedly. "Kentico provides 95% of the functionality of high-dollar CMSs at a fifth of the price." This allows clients to use the dollars they would have previously put towards licencing into feature …
It seems to have better organization and better extendability. In comparison to WordPress, the support that is offered by Kentico is incredible. When comparing to Sitecore, the price point makes it much more affordable for smaller to mid-size organizations that need a great CMS …
Better than all of the above on almost every level. SiteFinity comes closest from a developer tool perspective and Umbraco from a flexibility perspective.
WordPress - I do like WordPress, and we propose this CMS as an option to Kentico, but I firmly believe that unless everything happens to work perfectly, WordPress will cost more money to develop in the long run. Aside from that, WordPress has intrusive updates very regularly, …
Wordpress is much quicker and lighter, but not as robust and is suitable in different situations. Sitecore and Kentico offer similar functionality, but with a different approach to development. Sitecore has a much higher price point and similar functionality, so in my opinion …
I selected Kentico for it's strong .NET CMS offering. It's not particularly expensive as far as CMS systems go. Kentico offers enough advanced functionality to make any free CMS systems, like Umbraco, WordPress, pale in comparison. They are good starting points for anyone …
