    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.

    • more secure than others (Joomla, WP, Drupal) - thanks to dedicated Typo3 Security Team

    • assets management - no matter is it a video, audio or text file, you can REALLY manage it.

    Cons
    OpenText
    • It's unable to connect user accounts so that accounts are set and utilize a single sign-in.

    • compared do Wordpress - far less community support
    • when 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.

    We have choosen OpenText WEM against other vendors because : 1. Helped client reinforce brand image
    through unique design language and templatization of collaterals, consistent
    messaging, and regular competitor benchmarking. 2. Enables lead generation through
    high-quality gated collateral, product videos, etc. 3. Senior management and sales lead meet
    client regularly for project review meetings and feedback on engagement

    • more complex and elastic revoke system (undoing changes for multi-administrator systems) PHP/JS and TypoScript language
    • LTS - 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 systems
    • several portals may be operated from a single admin/install
