    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.

    Cons
    AcrossSoft
    • It is not available for MAC operating system.

    Open Source
    • 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.

    • 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

    • + LTS - long term support - can provide you an updates or bugfixes
