    Six Apart
    Is your business an enterprise level business that has more than a half dozen different content types? If so, then you might want to use a dedicated CMS rather than Movable Type. Movable Type is best used on small / medium sized businesses and is not the best solution for a full-fledged CMS. If you're using your content for something other than just displaying a website, then it's probably not for you. Movable Type works great for news/blogging sites. In fact, Daring Fireball, one of the most popular Apple-centric blogs is using Movable Type as its publishing platform.

    Since this platform is so easy to use when creating or managing communication workflows, it is recommended to work mostly with scenarios that generally require several processes to complete each group management, for example, to cover from the follow-up of employees within the communications team to the management of the team's communication processes.

    Pros
    Six Apart
    • Easy to use straight out of the box, very user friendly with an intuitive interface.
    • Great for team use where there are multiple editors and writers fixing and editing each other's works. It's easy to track who last made the latest edits.
    • Stellar support team and system. I've found that Moveable Type's support system is generally more responsive and helpful than WordPress.

    Cons
    Six Apart
    • Especially on the older versions, the limited number of well-developed third-party plugins is problematic for efficiently developing a well-functioning website.
    • Versions of movable type which didn't allow pages to be constructed were difficult to create continuity in design and easily editable pages for our editors.
    • The installation process could be simplified to make it easier for those new to a CMS to install.

    • The contact management system is a little wonky but it has improved over the last two years and I expect that trend to continue.
    • The grouping system (segments) and tagging is not intuitive. I've had many missteps in trying to get content to particular segments while deselecting individuals.
    • You cannot add another group of people to a distribution without going back and recreating the same distribution. you can add individuals but not groups.

    I think there are still improvements to be made. I haven't tapped in to the full functionality of the CMS yet but the rating I give it now is only based on what I've been able to use it for

    Movable Type can be compared to WordPress. It's easy to use, and I would say Movable Type is actually more user-friendly.

    Prezly is much more user-friendly than Cision but isn't as robust. The pricing is similar and I believe Prezly beats it out a bit. Overall, the UI is much better in Prezly giving it the edge.

    Return on Investment
    Six Apart
    • Provided a blogging platform when we needed one.
    • Helped us compare other blogging platforms as a baseline for what minimums we require and what we don't want.
    • Users often refused to use Movable Type and would go around our official system in order to use my more friendly software.

    • We have taken into account our net profit rates during the time of using Prezly, and therefore we decided that the platform is useful when generating work formations that result in higher profits. Prezly has proven to be an excellent investment, which has satisfied our team.
