Netlify CMS is well suited when you have very less frequent updates to your content, maybe once a day and very few people need to access your data. You can connect it to Netlify, GitHub, or any platform and have multiple people access it and do as many updates as you wish, but the process is not well-defined and you need to build your own system for that. It is well suited for projects you need to pull off with very low cost, it is essentially free as the software is open source and free to use, and all you need to do is set up your schema correctly and find a deployment pipeline where you can build your static site/API to redeploy whenever the content changes. I personally used a GitHub Login -> Netlify CMS -> next app consumer of content -> GitHub pipelines to run next SSG -> GitHub Pages to deploy the built static site. It might not be appropriate for large teams where users themselves need no-code tools to modify the schema of the content.Incentivized
TYPO3 is great if you need to connect some systems in company to work together: like ecommerce + CRM + ERP + MRP and build an Extranet for partners/dealers where they can order your products, see particular BOM (bill of material), paid/unpaid invoices and use email marketing on top of it. You can do it but keep in mind that you will need a dedicated hosting, well organized admin(s) and some handwritten code. For simple blog TYPO3 is also a good choose, but WP would be better I think.Incentivized
Storing content data in customized schema without a databaseFull control over your content and infrastructure where it is deployed and storedVery low-cost way for building your own CMS and CDNIncentivized
open source - do what you want, and even if you dont know how to do it - someone will do it for youmore secure than others (Joomla, WP, Drupal) - thanks to dedicated Typo3 Security Teammodularity and diversity - a lot of plugins/extensionsworkflow and user roles - feel free to build a workflow templates ie. for documents routingassets management - no matter is it a video, audio or text file, you can REALLY manage it.typoscript language - sometimes JS is not enoughIncentivized
Linking between different schema types, i.e. having some relations between contentBetter ways to define content schema, like how TinaCMS would handle using a JSONIncentivized
compared do Wordpress - far less community supportwhen you run a simple blog - it is simple as piece of cake. But if it is a large news site, with many user roles, extensions and permissions - it may be hard to find an admin that will organize and keep that stuff working.server resources: so you want performance and speed with all that modules enabled? make sure that you have dedicated server in most cases. WP works much better here.Incentivized
We really can't compare it to full-fledged CMS software, like WordPress, which has a lot of community and support with widgets, plugins, and whatnot. It's not built for that, but you can compare it to Contentful, Ghost, Strapi, etc., which provide similar functionality to a headless CMS with custom schema options, but even among them, it still lacks a lot of functionality, ease of use, and support. But Netlify CMS pros would be of the opinion that compared to other platforms where most schemas need to use their own tools and frameworks, it's very cost-effective. Something new called TinaCMS has come up to compete with Netlify CMS by covering most of its shortcomings, but it's something new being built by the same team that built Forestry CMS and comes with many modern features, yet currently only supports NextJS SSG.Incentivized
more complex and elastic revoke system (undoing changes for multi-administrator systems) PHP/JS and TypoScript languageLTS - long ter msupport (bugfixes and updates)usage rights and permissions (much more advanced thatn in WP/Joomla)separation of design and content (in WP also but here is complex)many plugins to integrate with external systemsseveral portals may be operated from a single admin/install Incentivized
Helped us inject dynamic content into existing site very quicklyWasted a lot of time to implement when something complex, such as querying content, was neededIncentivized
+ 1 platform that handles connections to 11 external systems (CMS, CMR, ERP, MRP, accounting, controlling, email marketing etc.)+ still lower TCO than commercial systems (Oracle, Microsoft)+ LTS - long term support - can provide you an updates or bugfixes- resource consuming (forget about shared hosting in large projects)Incentivized
