If you require a MS / .NET stack, Kentico is a cost effective option that offers nearly all the same features and capabilities as its competitors (the major competitor being Sitecore). As just a CMS, it's robust and has a lot of bells and whistles, but when architected well, you can create some pretty slick design templates. The EMS takes it to a whole other level though. If you're just starting out in digital marketing, or you want to consolidate your digital marketing efforts, the EMS offers tons of basic capabilities: content personalization, AB testing, email marketing, marketing automation, etc. If you've never tried things like Salesforce, Optimisely, Google Analytics, etc., using the EMS would be a great way to start out, and then add on these more robust 3rd party services as your needs for additional features grow. Meanwhile all your stuff stays consolidated in one place until you're ready to branch out.

Any company looking for a robust content management system that is built on the .net platform should look at Kentico for a solution. Kentico might not have the marketing budget of the other well known CMS solutions out there but it is a mature application and you will get a lot of value for your money when choosing it.

Kentico is certainly one of the best software packages that I have worked with. From their free license to their paid licenses, I have worked with and implemented them all. You just need to make sure that it will fit your needs. If you're a .NET developer this is definitely the CMS to work with!

Kentico is especially well suited to an organization that manages their web content at a high frequency, and that have basic to complex review processes. Kentico's workflows allow for easy routing, approval, and preview steps.

Kentico is the best system I have seen for managing multi-cultural/multi-lingual content. The EMS version additionally includes an advanced workflow to manage the translation of sites, even allowing you to integrate with a third-party translation service.

The Kentico CMS platform has an offer for all organizations who are interested in an enterprise quality solution. For less feature rich websites, the base edition is suitable. The Ultimate edition is best for more mature websites and those who are looking for TRUE ROI on their marketing efforts the Kentico EMS product is a one stop shop for marketing automation.

If an organization is looking for a Microsoft-hosted CMS solution, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kentico. It has many features that others in the CMS-realm have but handles them in a straightforward way, making it easy to implement and manage. Business and organizations with many departments can easily create workflows that would assist in content creation by the departments that have intimate knowledge about the information they're writing about, yet final editing and publishing can be left to others in the company for proper review and editing.

It's well-suited for clients who want to have full control over the content on their site, have good customer support, and want to have many options for expanding the functionality of their site in the future. It is not well-suited for complex scenarios involving huge development teams and automated builds/deployment.

This is great and flexible for medium to large size businesses with pages in excess of 100. The built in web parts provide functionality right out of the box allowing for just basic understanding of JavaScript and other database languages.

Kentico is well suited for clients with complex or end-user interactions with the site. It is far less expensive than, say, Sitecore but it's never lacking in features or functionality. It may be less appropriate to use Kentico for smaller, single-focused site builds. It is well suited for sites with a lot of content, especially if that content needs to be organized and tracked.

Kentico is very well suited to just about any web development project, but you will certainly need an experienced ASP.NET developer, CSS designer, and HTML coder to really take advantage of the platform. A strong hosting environment with redundancy and backup are also desirable, but overall the solution has supported every need we have thrown out at it for 6 years, across dozens of deployments and clients.

Very well suited for simple external websites. It also seemed to be geared towards e-commerce. During selection process, I would ask how much customization work would be needed to fit your goal. Kentico experts are hard to find, so expect a bit of a learning curve in the beginning if you're doing custom web parts or modules.

For web sites that would require a lot of custom web parts I would not recommend it, however, I feel that would be highly unusual and most web sites would benefit from using Kentico.
