Meiro CDP vs. Plone

- personalization (The platform helps us with execution of several triggers - abandoned shopping cart, shopping intention etc. We are not bounded by capability of platform - anything can be executed on our own.) - CDP + ETL (Platform offers two products Meiro Integrations and Meiro Business Explorer - first one is sort of ETL tool using which, we can create custom data pipelines, connect to various data sources, build own connectors and schedule very complicated jobs. Second tool is more related to creating the custom segments, schedule regular export to another marketing platforms. I like how these two worlds are split. It just make sense to work with it.) - predictive modelling (There is huge potential for data engineering and data science teams to fully operate the platform - running CLV models, recommendation engines, creating complicated data pipelines from various data sources bringing them on one place. I thing about Meiro as amazing execution platform for such teams - running CLV modelling on data marts and use outputs in Meiro.) - platform enabling collaborative work (Platform offers various departments an environemnt, where they can work productively.)

The larger your organization, the more appropriate Plone will be. This is not to say that Plone is a worse choice for small websites, only that the minimum investment for a Plone site is certainly higher than for other platforms. If you already use Plone for your site and are looking for a redesign or an overhaul, I would only advise switching to a different platform such as WordPress or Drupal if your organization is downsizing. For any other situation, Plone is the natural choice for your growth.

• By being able to include segmentation operations within our customer management, it is no longer necessary to opt for the use of GDPR software, as Meiro and its end-to-end solution system is enough to cover the entire data matching quota, to properly define which salesperson is best suited to each customer (that's why we use this tool).

• Plone is a folder-based system, organising content in a similar way desktop-users are doing for the last two decades. No need to teach non-tech customers some relational-database like paradigm for content management.
• Plone is secure. It is the most secure CMS you can get your hands on.
• Plone is flexible, and makes fast development easy.

• We do not agree with the derogatory opinion about our experience using Meiro, as the service proved to maintain a quite positive quality level, so we are satisfied with the investment made in the use of Meiro and with the results, it has shown us when modeling information.

• Not everything is configurable or editable by Plone, and when you need to adjust or add custom pieces in, you need to deal with Zope. Zope has an ugly, confusing and difficult UI and structure as a backend.
• Using 3rd party products is difficult to do - there are a few different ways to get them installed, all of which take a bit of luck to get right.
• Building custom products for Plone is not fun. You've got to deal with an archaic framework to tie in that is not well documented (there is documentation about many things, but not great documentation and there are a lot of holes in the documentation).

We have critical systems running on Plone so will need it in the future.

Free to use since its Open source, so we don't have to worry about licence costs.

We know how to use and develop Plone and it has no limits.

Compared to the amount of Plone sites, users and customizations we have in our organization, the amount of support requests and training needed is really small.

The new user interface in Plone 6 is even better, it is super fast, has lots of different blocks for enhancing the page, has flexible layout system and is easy to extend with more features.

Our Plone sites are very robust. We have critical systems on Plone and we have been running sites on Plone for over 20 years with very little unexpected downtime.

Plone is very intensive in its operations, and if not configured well it can be slow. However it is designed and built with speed in mind and with proper use of coding, templates and caching can perform extremely well under high loads. It is capable of scaling to very high load availability environments with no specific coding requirements.

There are not too many Plone companies in the world. But the ones who are, are high level professionals

I have been participating Plone training and the trainers have always been professional. Materials were good and the instructions clear

Well organized, professional training with good materials and instructions

We started with Meiro. There was nothing here previously.

Drupal: Plone is cheaper, so with Drupal is more complex to reach the required ROI. However, Drupal has a lower learning curve WordPress: For our necessities it has a more expensive learning curve than plone. Joomla, is easier to use. However, it have some issues on security and web content where Plone is much better

Plone has no limits. We have massive sites and can run them just fine

• The impact Plone has had at the University of Oshkosh is as follows: this software allows student workers to learn about IT departments and CMS's in a user-friendly way. It gives many students great jobs that look great on their resumes.
• Since there are great training manuals for Plone, there is increased employee efficient in the workplace. Training doesn't take long, and if there's ever a question, the Plone manual is a great tool to refer to.
• If an employee using Plone quits, its easy to find someone to replace them with quick training and great resources.
