Clickability was being used by the majority of the editorial department. Reporters, editors, and producers all used it. But outside of that, marketing, sales, advertising, finances, etc., were not using it. It addressed the need for a content management system and for the company to create, edit, and publish content.
  • Create articles.
  • Edit articles.
  • Analytics.
  • Moderate comments.
Clickability is great for small to medium sized news organizations who are looking for a platform for content management. I suppose it could be useful to other businesses with a website, but it would need the dynamic content that a news organization for example would publish. I think it would be less appropriate for a larger organization as well.

We use it to manage all of our websites, four brands and a corporate site. Editorial postings, ad placement. So multiple departments and people utilize Clickability. It helps us to manage and monitor our websites.
  • Organized to manage several levels of use.
  • Ad placement tools.
  • Editorial tools to post articles.
  • Choosing ad size/placement should be easier than it is. Now, I have to re-create the whole thing.
  • When you "save" anything a pop-up comes up that is redundant.
  • Ad list only shows a limited number. It's not until you click on one and cancel it out, then you can see all the listings. A bit tedious and redundant.
I think Clickability does a good job of organizing all the elements in a webpage. You clearly can choose what and where you need to be, via tabs. Some functions are redundant and cumbersome. Like switching an ad placement. We have a, b, c positions and it should be easier to move them around. Currently, it is not. You have to re-create the entire ad, with a different position. Not efficient.

Clickability is used as a CMS for different external websites across the company. There are very simple sites but also complex ones which have difficult processes. On one site we do quarterly results publishing.
  • Simple CMS, all our users cope very fast with the publishing process. Even non-tech-savy people!
  • Implementation of new sites very fast - great project teams!
  • Good design resources to support you in making sure the site has a nice layout and is user-friendly in regards of usability.
  • Some outages in the recent year
  • Support is not very fast and knowledgeable

For very cheap microsite solutions Clickability is too expensive.

It is a great application for any website that should be run longer and there are one time publishers that want to be able to do publishing themselves.

We wanted a SaaS provider! There are not many in this area that don't offer a very large and complex product.

Clickability is used in the entire client organization I work for. It is mainly used for building a marketing website with a quick turn around time. Business users are be able to edit the content on the live site. It is also used to build websites with high volume content like press releases. Developers can just work on display logic and as Clickability is offered as SAAS, deployments don't need any reboots.
  • Content Creation Workflows
  • Website Creation
  • Ease of Development
  • Online Marketing
  • Version Control
  • Release Planning when huge number of templates need to be pushed to production
  • Velocity Scripting used to create website templates could be improved
Clickability is not suited when when users log in into a website and lot of the website functionality is tied to user login. It is well suited for read only content sites. At what frequency is the content on the site updated? How much control is needed by the business user to edit the site? If a business needs more control, I prefer Clickability.

  • Increase in website traffic, SEO
  • Better utilization of dev resources
  • Quick turn around time
Many of other content management systems similar to WordPress need custom installation. The server costs and upgrades quickly add up. Clickability while expensive, eliminated the overhead of managing all the dependency needs for a CMS. Clickability also works with its clients to understand the business needs and proposes the solutions accordingly. They have a good support team.

Right now it is used for all websites for Vance publishing. Clickability allows multiple users to add pages easily who do not have any HTML or programing experience. It also allows for the flexibility to design templates which can easily display information from other sources. On of the best things about Clickability is we needed a page to manage our webinars and show different titles and content based on dates. Clickability allowed us to program to display "Upcoming Webinar" vs "Watch Now" dependent on the date. It also is easier for the editor who is responsible for the webinar to change information or add information as needed without knowing any programing or markup.
  • Clickability is good at allowing information to be updated quickly by people that don't understand HTML markup or programing.
  • Clickability has a powerful programing language.
  • Clickbility allows you to return to previous versions. This is very important when testing and if you make mistakes.
  • It doesn't allow testing to people who do not have passwords. You must create an account to test in staging. I would like to be able to show someone a website in staging without them needing to log in.
  • I would like the process for static websites to be more streamlined. I don't like creating a template then create content for a website that won't be changed by updated content.
  • You have a useful resource pdf. Which I use all the time. I would also like to see more useful tools to help the learning curve for Clickability. Video's, webcasts, or white pages to help with the steep learning curve that Clickability has.
  • Add easy access to social sites for sharing and posting.
Having used other programs that are similar. I find Clickability has some of the most flexibility and power with its programing code. The problem is the curve to learn the new code is very steep. There are other systems not as powerful as Clickability but have a much smaller learning curve. Some of my issues may be due to the fact I am tasked with fixing some of the issues with the previous person. The organization of content, templates can be difficult to find where the problem is.

  • The ability to have editors update information or ad articles quickly is very important and Clickability makes this easy for them. Our business is information and it is crucial that we are able to get information online quickly.
  • From a programers perspective Clickability has lots of strength and is very powerful. The powerfulness also makes it a large learning curve to learn.
  • Being tasked with finding issues or fixing previous issues is very difficult. Due to the process of templates and content you often have to go many places to find one or two issues. I would like to see something that shows you this template is used on these pages and this content is being linked to these templates.
I think it is on par with what I did with Sharepoint. Sharepoint was not the easiest and you have to do many things twice to get it to actually display. I think the easiest I have used is Wordpress. They make mobile very easy and allow for quick changes and are very social friendly. The issues I have with Wordpress is that they don't have the power of the Clickability programing. Drupal I haven't used but we are going to start using them next year. Going forward it sounds like it will be more streamlined and allow for easy mobile and social sharing with Drupal.
As mentioned in the last questions we are going to use a competitor brand next year. I think the issues are trying to find and fix problems from the previous programer. The steep learning curve and lack of mobile and social sharing capabilities. Things that I like are the strength of the programing which comes with a trade off. The ease for those who don't know markup to make updates to the website. Clickability isn't the easiest and can be difficult to find the content that you are interested in. We will not be using it next year.
  • Don't know
  • From a person who just updates the website and fills forms out. It is easy to do that. This was all added by the programer which is a tedious task.
  • I think the history of searches and being able to return to published history is very good
