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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's great for having a placement list for stories on a page. Once you target the content, it's a simple drag-and-drop to reorder them. You know exactly which pages the story is on, because of where you target it. We also found we needed a more robust story template. Our developers were able to add more features to initial layout which provided a better user experience.

As a true content management system it is great for site and content creation. It does need some help when it comes to adding functionality for using modern code systems that require server side scripting. For a marketing or public company site, it is an ideal CMS. For a SAAS type site, there could be many road blocks.

Clickability is a great product to create and manage news articles and blog entries, create and manage newsletters and user recipients. The product is very scalable in terms of adding more than one website/publication to publish online and adding more users/editors. The product suite is only useful for big newspaper and media organizations.

There are definitely specific scenarios. For example, Clickability is good in a breaking news scenario. So one key question to ask is how fast the program is. Speed is very important in my field, and it's important to be able to move through the CMS quickly. Also, how reliable is it? If it's a program that crashes often, that can be a problem. Fortunately, Clickability doesn't crash very often.

Overall this works well for media and newspaper websites that get less than 100 million pageviews a month. Also if you have your own developer and artist on staff you can really create exceptional websites, however it isn't required. There is a steep learning curve due to lack of published examples like other programming languages such as ruby, php etc. For most of your data entry and content editors the learning curve is minimal and can be taught in hours. Price is going to be a huge factor in determining does this make sense for your organization because you have to take how much traffic you have into account. If you stay within your limits great, if you exceed them media and bandwidth costs can begin to bloat your budget and make this a less attractive solution.

Why give it a 10? I shudder at the thought of using anything else to manage and deliver websites reliably to our nationwide audiences. With our very minimal staff of software engineers (with great personalities) we have been able to innovate and satisfy our internal newsroom demands, which are high to the extreme. Our team is very agile and has adapted well to the changing times in the past 4 years that I have been senior software engineer, and team lead. The 10 is for flexibility, extensibility, reliability, and the freedom we experience as developers.
