	RWS Tridion Sites
Considered Both Products	RWS Group Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites Interwoven teamsites, Documentum, Adobe - teamsites and documentum are old and limited. Adobe rocks but I like where I am and Tridion does a lot of the same things. No need to reinvent the wheel or move to a lateral product. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites It is a nuclear missile compared to the other handguns and knives on the market today. But it also requires nuclear technicians and expertise that a handgun doesn't require. Do you need to decimate your competition and you have the investment capabilities necessary to put a … Incentivized Helpful? Kirsten McGlone Senior IT Analyst in Information Technology at The Boston Consulting Group (Management Consulting, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose RWS Tridion Sites Tridion is much better for multi-site installations, though Sitecore is a bit easier for content editors to know content types are being used based on visual icon indicators. We've had content editors pick the wrong templates by accident, but Sitecore's visual indicator … Incentivized Helpful? Piti Itharat Director, Architects in Information Technology at Tahzoo (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose RWS Tridion Sites Adobe CQ is SDL Tridion main competitor. Sitecore is designed for smaller companys. Adobe CQ is all java and thus has limitations. Sitecore is also all .net and has limitations. Both use a dynamic model and everything is compiled at runtime. SDL Tridion can be published in a … Helpful? Brandon Miller CMS Web Applications Developer in Information Technology at National Wildlife Federation (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose RWS Tridion Sites Tridion again seemed to be more enterprise level then EpiServer, EpiServer allowed for faster ramp up time of a intuitive .NET framework, but Tridion seemed to have more tools and overall functionality once the CMS was customized towards the needs of the customer. Helpful? Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites I did not play a role in selecting this product so I can't say how it stacked up. I do know that Tridion is an improvement over the last CMS. Helpful? Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites I feel that SDL Tridion's User Interface is to difficult for content authors to understand. I worked with a client that used Tridion for years and she still would get lost in the UI and had to ask questions. There was close to 30% of continual time spent on the project simply … Helpful? Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites SDL Tridion is far superior to CommonSpot. It is much more user friendly and increases efficiency. Helpful? Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites I believe the biggest selling factor for SDL was its customer service and it ability to be responsive. We knew that it was a company that was going to be around for a long time and would continue to provide the support that we would need in the long term. Helpful? Justin England Solution Architect in Engineering at HealthGrades (Hospital & Health Care, 501-1000 employees) Chose RWS Tridion Sites Tridion's strength is really hosting multiple websites across development, test stage and production. Helpful? Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites The decision to purchase Tridion was made at a corporate level removed from the technical teams. Against our previous open source solution, this has been wildly expensive, impossible to find experienced developers for, and has required completely retooling our organization. Helpful? Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites SDL has a better API and also handles high server load much better. Also, the built-in integrations for translations are more suited for performing lots of translations for many sites. However, Umbraco, like Tridion, has a great community and finding solutions with both … Helpful? Verified User Chose RWS Tridion Sites We didn't chose WordPress because can't handle the traffic we generate. Sitecore is what we are currently looking at and it looks like a much better alternative to Tridion. Helpful? Deepak Narisety Director of Technology in Information Technology at Siteworx (Internet, 51-200 employees) Chose RWS Tridion Sites Adobe does a great job in managing sites. Its user interface for authors is intuitive and leaps and bounds better than SDL Tridions new 2013 UI. The ease of install and management makes Adobe CQ a much better product. However, Adobe CQ (AEM) has limitations. It cannot scale as … Helpful?

User Testimonials
	RWS Tridion Sites
Likelihood to Recommend	RWS Group Love the product and I really like how we use it for public sites. The only negative aspect is that it is just hard to find Tridion devs that understand the tool, grasp .net, react, and understand the blueprint, etc. Verified User Read full review
Pros	RWS Group Makes it easy to spin up a new site quickly Allows for numerous users to work on the same site without conflicting with each other's changes Allows you to unpublish changes or revert to old versions if you make a mistake Allows you to time publishing actions (for example, you can set it to happen overnight) Incentivized Kirsten McGlone Senior IT Analyst Read full review
Cons	RWS Group Tridion is complicated in enough ways that it makes it difficult to train new users. Therefore, we have to limit the number of people with access to the system since we have not yet implemented Workflow. When something goes wrong (items fail to publish, or there is unexpected behavior with components), there is little explanation provided that would point us in the right direction to troubleshoot. As a result, content Authors and Editors have to frequently ask for IT assistance. Verified User Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	RWS Group I am giving this a semi-high rating because we have already got Tridion up and running and we are still in the process of moving the sites over to Tridion. It is unlikely we will be moving things to a new CMS AGAIN in the near future as the cost to get Tridion was high. Verified User Read full review
Usability	RWS Group The editor user interface is very user friendly and in-site editing makes simple updates fast and easy. The extensibility of Tridion is a big plus and the ability to add our own options into the default Tridion interface helps us integrate with external systems. Finally, the user permissions and security system helps us deploy it within our large organization. Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	RWS Group It is a nuclear missile compared to the other handguns and knives on the market today. But it also requires nuclear technicians and expertise that a handgun doesn't require. Do you need to decimate your competition and you have the investment capabilities necessary to put a nuclear missile into the sky? Then definitely do it. Especially if you need a very good multi-lingual blueprint provider like Tridion. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Return on Investment	RWS Group SDL is a very complex system. Creating custom components by external vendors turned out to be expensive. The learning curve is very slow, so training takes a lot of time and cost. The revamped corporate site looks clean, modern, and is mobile-friendly. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
