Percussion CMS vs. Scrile Connect

Best suited for large organizations where everyone knows how to deal with Java in an increasingly Java unfriendly world. Said organization should be willing to pay a huge price for a piece of dinosaur technology

Scrile Connect is a great tool to set up membership websites with little no experience, time and money. As you nurture and grow your website you might need to invest more money into developing and implementing features with the Scrile Connect team. Scrile Connect is well suited to budget projects where you need a tailored solution for an affordable price. If you get serious, you can certainly consider their enterprise plan which gives you full access to the offering.

• Separate CMS environment publishes to remote server environment - great for security
• Highly scalable
• Full scale workflow allows for custom routing, approving, etc..

• One word: JAVA! We don't live in the 1990's anymore! An AJAX/DHTML environment seems a long time coming.
• Horrible end-user experience, learning curve. Our end users' inability to easily use the archaic, Java-based interface, means they send the web developer their content requests. This creates a huge bottleneck and completely defeats the purpose of a CMS.
• Image mangement and integration with content is aweful and time consuming. An image processing tool called ImedImage was developed for Percussion at one point, and left completely stagnant with very little support.
• Implementation is extremely complicated, given the complexity of the system. Sure, scalability is a good thing, but there is very little out-of-the box function. Don't expect to implement a site as quickly as with other CMS platforms.

The site itself looks great and is user-friendly. Plus, I like the fact we can develop new features, as needed.

The support is really first class.

No contest. I can't wait to get off of Percussion CMS.

• We are locked into Percussion CMS simply due to the expense and complexity of migrating to another solution (and the lack of time and budget to do so). I long for the day when I am no longer required to support Percussion CMS, to say the least.
