User Testimonials
	OU Campus
Likelihood to Recommend	OmniUpdate OU Campus is the best CMS product I've seen, especially when you have a large organization with less staff and resources. Also, its power, if one team likes marketing, handles all pages and that saves a lot of time and effort. I strongly like the components/snippets. Tags all dynamic modules. Raed Shehada Senior Web Designer Read full review
Pros	OmniUpdate The JustEdit feature makes updating content a breeze. With a small staff, we rely on others to update their content. OU Campus makes it easy. Site-wide find and replace. I use the site-wide find and replace feature for all sorts of things - links, enrollment numbers, department names. It's really helpful. Customer service. The staff at OU Campus answers questions quickly and is always willing to discuss the most effective ways to take on new projects. Incentivized Charley Allen Web Manager Read full review
Cons	OmniUpdate Formatting. The page can sometimes look very differently when published than what it looks like while editing. Some improvements have been made in this area with version 10 however. Find and replace. The command+F needs to find text on the page while editing, not present an actual find and replace dialog box. At least give me the option to simply "find" the text I'm looking for. The dialog box just gets in the way most of the time. There is not a way to "unpublish" items. At least not a way that I can think of. I would like the ability to pull a page offline without deleting it. Seems like it should be done simpler.
