The stability of Sitefinity and speed are better. The ease of content updates and template creation is by far superior and doesn't require any technical knowledge. Sitefinity doesn't force you into unplanned and forceful updates, like other software for content management that …

My main experience has been with Drupal and SharePoint besides Sitefinity.
And while many people swear by Drupal because of its open-source nature, often the hidden TCO, its lack of intuitive usage and limited functional implementation (CMS for Web Publishing) has made us choose …

It is hands down just easier for our customers to use. The interface and the page builder experience is much better than what we have used in the past and has many enterprise features even in the lower price-point.

WordPress has a huge community when it comes to custom plugins available. The ability to use functions.php files to add scripts makes it very easy to use and handle. Only issue is that WordPress lacks the ability to scale for a bigger site.

This was already implemented when I arrived here but have looked into moving it to another platform. The time involved in doing that is just not worth the time right now. Sitefinity does what it is supposed to but it's not the most user friendly and support is not very good.

We were looking for a CMS that was net-based, as it was the preferred platform based on knowledge and experience. It was also something that we could see sourcing external support if needed. Much wider expert base.

Best system from a feature/cost point of view. We had specific requirements, one of which was that the system had to be based in a IIS/.net environment.

Comparison of Web Content Management features of Progress Sitefinity
Progress Sitefinity remains a little heavyweight for sites that require basic text content, or a limited number of pages. However, its flexibility (including the range of different content types if supports) make it a good choice for any organization requiring advanced content management capabilities at an affordable price.

'Low-code structured content' (dynamic content types) is one of Sitefinity's most powerful features that allows you to structure content according to business needs, while at the same time dampening editorial freedom to ensure accessibility, meta enhancement, SEO and API consumption can be achieved.
Sitefinity's content provider model allows us to flexibly (by means of admin interface) easily aggregate or separate content sharing within a multi-site instance.
This proofs particularly powerful in emerging situations where there suddenly is a demand for content sharing across countries or regions.
Adaptability at its core.
While there's never a perfect fit for everything, it allows for easy code customization and extension being a .NET application at heart. Giving it a corporate edge over other custom solutions, whether it is on the development side or deployment side (on premise, IaaS or Azure DevOps Paas). And it has enabled us to put the system to use in its core feature - which is to manage content, where on other occasions we were able to take full advantage of its features such as A/B testing and personalization.

I'd like to see the ability to synchronize from one server to multiple others at once.
Implementation assistance as part of the purchase rather than farming out to 3rd party, although they did answer every question we asked in order to determine our best architecture setup.

Very big fan of this CMS, as it allows scalability, performance, and everything else. The support is great whenever we need it. As a marketer, the digital/marketing side of things is very easy to use and we've seen strong results from an SEO and marketing perspective. I can't speak to the developer/creative side too much, but in talking with these teams, they do recommend the tool as well.

Support can be pretty good, even though, depending on the level of licensing, it can take longer to hear back from their team. They do have a phone option, which works well. Overall, they are knowledgeable, and helpful when needed. At times, support is able to access the system directly and troubleshoot critical items when needed.
N/A - I was not part of the implementation team. We have had this internally for over 5 years. Based on my experience, ensure that you have documentation on the initial implementation and subsequent upgrades. I would also recommend to have all the documentation on how and why the system was implemented the way it was
