I cannot provide any specific scenarios where SiteExecutive would be better suited or less appropriate. I have experience working with two other Content Management Systems, and I gave SiteExecutive a rating of 9 out of 10. In comparison to other interfaces, SiteExecutive is not quite there yet with ideal user interface; drag-and-drop features are not available; it is not mobile friendly just yet.

• ManageWP consolidates important WordPress site management services into on dashboard.
• ManageWP makes backing up, cloning, and restoring websites so easy.
• ManageWP provides a simple, easy to use interface.

• SiteExecutive provides a simple basic and convenient interface for creating and updating webpages.
• Easy way to create web forms, set up a confirmation webpage, and send a confirmation email.
• Integration with YouTube allows us to quickly embed the most recent videos to our website automactically as well as choose specific videos by date or title.

• The reports could be prettier, more templates in order to avoid having to customize for each client so heavily.
• It would be nice to see if recommended plugin updates are actually production and not beta versions.

Incentivized

• Glitches happen more frequently than I'd like them to
• Limited options for formatting and organization within blog applications

It's very straightforward for basic use, but less you dig in more for advanced use. Seems like it would be approachable to the average person.

ManageWP is definitely the best in class product for WordPress website management. There are other tools such as InfiniteWP that do similar things, but don't have as complete an offering. Other options like WPEngine are also for hosting and we are not interested in that element. I think that ManageWP is the best tool out there for what it does.

WordPress is another CMS that I've used within a professional setting. Despite the cost difference, SiteExecutive is well worth the investment. Its functionality is much, much greater (they can't really be compared on the same level) and I have more freedom for customization and creating EXACTLY what I need.

Incentivized

• Reduced update times - allows me to check for updates on all our sites once a week without spending countless time logging in and updating each one manually.
• Free backups - allows me to have redundant backups just in case other systems fail, without any effort.
• Free platform - many of the provided features are free, making it very useful for companies who want to keep costs low.

Incentivized

• External constituents are able to clearly see our mission, goals, and programs (i.e: we are successfully attracting potential students and their families)
• Faculty and staff are able to be directly involved in how their department is represented
