About 3 years ago we looked at updating our CMS solution to something that was more adaptable and allow us to be more personalised with our customers.
Magnolia gives us the ability to not only create variations of pages for different users, but also a easy to use UI for our editiors to build pages quickly and deploy to production with no real time delay.
  • Personalitation
  • Flexibility
  • Integrations
  • Adobe Analytics integration could be improved
  • Dashboards for magnolia users could be improved
We use magnolia to be able to provide a different journey to our users depending on authentication status or persona so we can better target and convert users. Magnolia makes this very easy and is a key factor to us using with the business, also being a headless CMS system allows us to deploy in a variety of ways across a range of platforms.

We mostly use and recommend Magnolia for enterprise clients who want a lean, easy to use platform for managing their content (not just on the web). However we do also use it internally for our own website as well.

It's not the only solution our clients use as everyone has different requirements. Why do we use it and recommend it to others when we do see a fit ? Quite simply, it's a well engineered product which has always been ultra reliable whenever we've deployed it to the dozens of clients who we've worked with it on. We don't like implementing solutions that we have to constantly prod and patch to keep working, and for us Magnolia saves us time, money and credibility. Our clients are always happy to use it because it is simple to use and takes minimal training.
  • Reliability
  • Ease of use
  • Rapid development and deployment
  • Performance
  • Robust and secure architecture
  • Improve coverage in North America and the Middle East
  • Arab and Mandarin languages in admin central
  • Less reliance on JCR for back end storage interface
Magnolia is very well suited to scenarios where there are multiple end points for content eg. apps, remote devices, websites etc. and with multiple users. Magnolia is very good at working with different "shapes" of content so it's not necessarily all about HTML content for the web which tends to be the default for a number of other products of this nature. This means that it's more logical for people to work with structured data and easier for the applications to sort and manage that content when they receive it.
This works really well when you have multiple team members (often in multiple locations). We've had clients who've had people in twelve European locations with sixteen languages and they can share skills and resources between them but still manage their own content.

Magnolia is less appropriate for SMEs who have fewer digital assets and content. It's not to say that it can't be done but it's more that the budget would not necessarily fit.

We use Magnolia as a content management system for our public website. We also have several headless implementations and we are serving content to other apps.
  • Managing content
  • Personalization
  • Headless CMS
  • Light development - use of YAML to define apps
  • More documentation needed, more examples
  • Search could be improved
  • Tasks app is rather slow
Magnolia is a versatile and robust enterprise grade Content Management. It is not as well suited for regular users or small companies as it requires rather a complex setup. The customer support is providing quick guidance on most of the areas, but you will still need a pretty big team to manage it.

We build solutions based on Magnolia for our customer's needs. These needs include intranets, web pages, eCommerce, etc. Also, our customers come from a wide range of industries, such as banks, wholesalers, or [travel] companies.
  • API Rest calls
  • Organising contents
  • Usability by non-technical people
  • User interface
  • Administration site performance
  • More consistency when indicating if a content is published or not
Magnolia is well suited for almost every scenario you can [imagine]. It is less appropriate for very basic web pages where other tools like WordPress are more specialized.

Our clients like Magnolia for its flexibility and extensibility. We’ve been successful with Magnolia’s hybrid headless approach and multi-channel content distribution for both established companies and growing startups. In addition to leveraging the out-of-the-box features, we’ve built detailed components, layouts, and customized functionality to help meet our clients’ needs. They love that our answer is almost always “yes!” when they ask us “can Magnolia do X?” and the easy-to-use author controls make training and handoff a breeze.
  • Hybrid headless
  • Integration
  • Easy to use UI
  • Robust permission controls
  • Extended DAM features
  • Internal site search (currently is handled through optional 3rd party).
For omnichannel content distribution, Magnolia does a great job of allowing us to create user-friendly content apps and content models, categorize content, manage taxonomies, etc. We've used it for marketing sites, e-commerce, apps, and more. We also like the built-in checkers and workflows for task management and QA. It can be as powerful or as simplistic as you want, but it's really great for scalable content management for rapidly growing businesses.

My department manages most of the websites (50+) for our organization, with a variety of audiences. Internal business partners across our organization in different lines of business have access to Magnolia in order to be able to update the content on the websites they own. My team manages the development and maintenance of these sites. Before Magnolia, all content updates had to come through my team for development and testing. With the amount of sites we manage, this limited the amount of new work we could take in (new sites, enhancements to existing sites). Using Magnolia has allowed us to free up our developers to work on higher priority work without neglecting our run-the-business content updates. In my role, I train and support our business partners in Magnolia, as well as review all content updates before they are published.
  • Easy to onboard new users - using components is fairly intuitive.
  • Once standardized components are built, propping up a new site is pretty easy and quick.
  • Workflows allow my team to stay hands off with editing, but still review changes before they go live.
  • Simple user interface.
  • Can send direct links to edit a page
  • Cannot revert to previous version if it hasn't been published.
  • Individual users cannot delete failed publishes and messages (which makes it look like there are open requests).
  • Publishing larger folders of images is often not possible.
  • We had to design our own preview link solution for sites integrated with Angular
  • Doesn’t always play nice with Angular
Magnolia is great for managing multiple sites within an organization. We are able to managed over 200 business users with access to 50+ sites with business users only having access to their sites. A few of these sites are integrated with Angular and the integration with Magnolia doesn’t always play nice. We’ve had to design some of our own solutions for this.

Development of content in Magnolia, such as components, content-apps, pages, etc. with headcounts. [In my experience,] the problem that we find at a technical level is the slowness of Magnolia when there is a heavy load of nodes in [the] workspaces. The speed is slow when it comes to solving problems, [like] when we open tickets in Magnolia. Additionally, Magnolia 6 has removed proper functionality from Magnolia 5.
  • Shows page content
  • Easy development
  • Intuitive
  • Content loading times
  • Documentation in the absence of examples
  • Content that applies [across] different types of nodes (Example: 2 types of nodes within a content app)
Magnolia is put to good use [when] creating a basic website with limited content. It is very easy for both the developer and the customer to contribute content. [In my opinion,] the part [that needs improvement] is in the documentation. Content and examples are missing [when trying to] develop certain properties. [In my opinion, the] Magnolia modules should be explained better in the documentation. In the interface, [I find that] it is difficult to move elements and nodes sometimes. [I also believe that] content loading is sometimes very slow when there are more nodes on the account.

I train developers how to use, build and customize every nook and cranny of Magnolia.
  • Allows easy/fast development/configuration via yaml.
  • Allows devs to override out of box functionality.
  • Allows many integration points.
  • Admincentral UI is clunky and animations make it feel slow.
  • Admincentral UI layout fosters a frustrating experience w/ many misclicks wasting time.
  • Documentation as of late has been inaccurate and hard to follow.
A colleague here being another business. Magnolia is on its way to being a 'good' product but the 6.2 implementation simply isn't there yet (6.2.26 as of this writing). The admincentral UI could use a complete overhaul to be better streamlined for devs and content editors (the two who actually use it).

We use this product to implement CMS solutions for the clients our organization contracts with. Clients may be looking to move away from platforms such as WordPress to a solution that is more customizable and can be integrated with external systems.
  • Use of YAML to define content models with code.
  • Versatility of defining actions for custom handlers.
  • Reloading classes when code is modified in a local dev environment is nice. While it doesn't seem to work when changes extend beyond the method body (i.e., adding methods), it remediates the pain of long startup times.
  • The documentation provides samples that are often out of context, and difficult to know where the provided example code should be implemented. More tutorials providing the full project or step-by-step instructions on how to implement subject material would help greatly. Baeldung is a resource I would consider the gold standard in how this is done in other spaces.
  • The use of JCR and Nodes makes object serialization/deserialization painful. Jackson compatibility or similar would be a welcome enhancement to the developer experience. Maybe leveraging code-gen from light modules to build model classes when possible could help accomplish this.
  • Modifying the home layout from light modules is frustrating. It seems that any configuration overrides made merge with the default rather than overwriting, which makes for a difficult combination of guess-and-check while referencing the documentation to see what should be in each row/column when making changes.
  • Including "mark all as read" or "delete all" in the notifications app would be a great quality of life improvement. It seems that by default, users have to individually select messages and operate them.
It's well suited when there are requirements and handling for content after it's been authored, and highly specific workflows. I would not recommend Magnolia to anyone who wants something that "just works."

Magnolia is used in our Business to build our brochure websites. Currently we have 25+ websites live in Magnolia, however are undergoing a migration from our old content management system over to Magnolia where all of our 180+ websites in 80+ countries will be managed. My role within Magnolia is to document the requirments for new features and enhancements and ensure we maintain Magnolia to the latest updates. Long term Magnolia will be used in the business for other functions such as our logged in portals and other applications.
  • Managing content
  • Easy to edit content
  • Easy to build and deploy new functionality
  • Ecommerce within the single platform
  • More personalisation required. - Changing content based on page visited / city user is in.
The speed you can update and publish content is far superior to our old cms.

Managing content per channel for one of our websites. Looking to roll out across the business as part of a wider CMS strategy. User base is circa 3500 users currently. We chose Magnolia because of it's superb out-of-the-box capabilities for personalisation and ease of implementation. The support from the company has been second-to-none.
  • Ease of implementation
  • Personalisation
  • Customisability
  • Easier configuration options
  • Software as a Service option
If you need to get up and running quickly then Magnolia is a great option. For more complicated user requirements, then the stack can be unfriendly in terms of configuration. Documentation could be improved.

We use Magnolia in our day-to-day business in several different ways
  • As a content management system for pages in which we display useful information to our customers.
  • We also have several headless systems in which we send different information dynamically from banners to regions of the home page to display depending on the type of device that connects (Desktop browser, Mobile browser, Native App).
  • ContentApps in which we send literals according to languages selected by the user.
  • The flexibility it offers us to be able to implement all the needs we have.
  • To be able to perform Front development in the technology that best suits your needs, VueJS, ANGULAR, ReactJS.
  • Constant version upgrades make Magnolia a 100% reliable product.
  • The active community behind it to provide support and help.
  • Flexibility and simplicity of creating ContentApps that can be attacked via APIs
  • As a developer the learning curve is long, you can start developing relatively quickly but getting to know the platform in depth takes time.
  • Having a history of modifications not only at the page level but also at the Content Apps level would be very useful.
I firmly believe that Magnolia is a very flexible tool so it can be adapted to any situation, both as a pure static content manager, as well as providing content through APIs according to defined rules.

Magnolia is actually taking care of all the Corporate Sites of Prosegur, covering all the footprint of the company worldwide and all our businesses
  • Agility to create new contents
  • Customization capabilities
  • Roadmap of the product
  • Reporting of activities performed by contributors (changes, publications, accesses...)
  • Log information related with the operation of the platform
  • Only five versions for each conten are usually not enough
Magnolia allows you to create your web sites in a really easy and fast way. No coding and enough available tools to create fancy sites. Also in case something additional is needed, customization is easyly supported so you can create new content apps can be greated expanding its capabilities. The main improvement area from my point of view are the reporting features. There is no easy way of obtaining information about how your users are using the platform. Especific ad-hoc reports can be built, but the platform does not support it out of the box.

I am currently working on a project where we make use of magnolia for the creation of an airline website in which magnolia manages all the content of this. This content is consumed in two ways. On the one hand via headless from other front platforms, and on the other from the pages generated within the content manager.
  • Multisite management
  • Page translation module
  • API Rest
  • Message and workflow management
  • Improve performance on heavily loaded contentApps
  • Generation of contentApps with different nodetypes
I think that magnolia is prepared for the generation of webs were to show static content managed directly by the cms itself. Due to the internal management that JCR does, I think that magnolia's performance should be improved when the data that is retrieved from the Rest api is very heavy, for example, a content app in which more than 500,000 records are stored.

We use Magnolia in a project developed for an airline. Specifically, it is used to host the website and all its related content (images, files, and other contents in content apps developed specifically for this) and to host content that we serve headless that is consumed by other source platforms.
  • Api Rest
  • Page translation
  • Multisite management
  • Management of informative messages to the user
  • Improve performance on heavily loaded content apps
  • Information and control of the livecopy actions carried out
I think that Magnolia is especially well trained to generate and manage multisite web pages and all their content. Regarding the scenario in which magnolia is less appropriate, I think it is directly related to the management of large volumes of content in the same content apps. Especially when sharing these contents via api rest.

The company where I work has been a Magnolia partner for almost a decade. I started working with the product more than 5 years ago and since then I have been involved in many different types of projects, covering customers in areas such as tourism, aviation, and public administration. My work with Magnolia consists of developing the functionality needed by each of these customers, doing version migrations, and solving the problems that we encounter.
  • Ease of page setup for user editors
  • Personalization of content based on the characteristics of the visiting user
  • Open source makes developers' lives easier
  • Intuitive interface
  • Use of JCR limits the amount of content that can be handled efficiently.
  • The latest version has made it more complicated to customize content apps than in previous versions.
  • It has a steep learning curve for new developers.
Magnolia is well suited for cases where Magnolia is going to be used to make web pages where an editor needs to make changes or edit the content on certain pages. In cases where you have a small volume of content and want to customize the content based on user characteristics. Also if you want to use it as headless. Magnolia does not fit when you want to use the CMS as a back-office or to manage a large amount of content that needs to be referenced as you would in a relational database. It is not suitable for content that is related to other content and has different types of content as children.

  • Allows only one content type per content app in the newest versions
  • Common problems with Lucene indexes
Magnolia is perfect for Building simple landing pages Building complex websites Providing a simple way to allow the marketing users to manage the information that will be displayed in the public pages Allowing different users (With different groups and roles) to edit the content at the same time, On the other hand, Magnolia is not so well-suited to, for example, build Intranets, since there are specific products for this case.

We are official partners of Magnolia, so we implemented Magnolia DXP in multiple customers with multiple use cases: e-commerce webs, industry services, tourism operators, airline companies, government, etc. Each of these use cases is different, with different needs, but, in the end, Magnolia facilitates the state of the art on customer business, and plays as a central platform for digital strategy
  • Headless approach
  • Easy to use (minimum learning curve)
  • Reduced time-to-market
  • DXP capabilities
  • Open source
  • Documentation
  • Support
  • Modular architecture
  • e-commerce capabilities
  • Cloud services
  • New major versions upgrade process
Magnolia adapts well to various types of scenarios, thanks to its fast time-to-market, agnostic front-end, and DXP capabilities. Some examples of well-suited scenarios could be: Company services Thanks to its content app approach, it is easy to model different types of contents, like services, and thanks to front-end capabilities, it is [easier] to expose these content to end-users Aviation, transport Retail

By working together with Magnolia CMS, our company manages to deliver some of the best content management experiences for our customers. They continue to shape the composable DXP world as we know it today. We can seamlessly integrate many of the different external tools our customers have with Magnolia CMS without too much effort. From managing assets in external DAMs to displaying product information retrieved from already-owned PIMs, centralization is key. They manage to allow you to optimize and boost the reusability of any type of content a customer may have. Their recently released PaaS solution also offers a lot of flexibility and we're happy to be one of the first teams to work with/on it.
  • Customer support
  • Communication
  • Innovation
  • Documentation
  • Training
  • A few more options for image manipulation in their DAM would be nice.
Magnolia is well suited when you have a lot of different types of content. From images to products, from blog articles to FAQ sections, Magnolia's app system allows you to manage them in a very structured way. If you're looking for a DAM management tool, Magnolia might not be what suits you best. However, you could use an external DAM system (which has more asset-specific features) and connect it with Magnolia.

Magnolia has been an excellent content-easy marketing software that can be used by any user and its dual deployment is effective. The content publishing using Magnolia is extremely great, helpful with electronic signatures, and the Magnolia Mobile accessibility is effective. The cloud capabilities offered by the system for workflow configuration are profitable.
  • Perfect for easy audio file management.
  • Documentation through Magnolia is nice.
  • Easy marketing content management with Magnolia.
  • The digital asset provides easy management.
  • The Magnolia cloud setting is confusing.
  • Data migration through cloud deployment is not easy for any operator.
  • For Magnolia to perform well, you will need a stable computer machine in my opinion.
I recommend Magnolia as a perfect and effective cloud marketing system that can effectively manage multiple business information and creation of productive marketing content.

I have been using Magnolia for a little more than 3 years. Magnolia is used company-wide. One of the biggest reasons for us using Magnolia is the user-friendly interface and unlimited options to customize it as per our requirements. There are multiple project and report templates that one can choose to start with.
  • It's easy to use and custom reports can be generated.
  • Once the initial configuration is done, anyone without technical knowledge can manage the digital content.
  • Search Engine Optimization can be done with extra filters configured from within the main console.
  • The initial setup does take a bit of time to complete.
All tools to develop applications in the Digital Experience Module are built-in and a developer does not need to export or import project files from VisualStudio or Java. The content management experience is wonderful since some APIs are already available that can be used to perform that function. Depending on the requirement, Magnolia can be hosted on the cloud or on-premises as well.

In our organization, we use Magnolia primarily to manage digital content. All our e-commerce and digital platforms have Magnolia as the backbone. It's easy to get all the requirements and modification requests into one central dashboard and then make changes to the respective digital spaces. Magnolia also works as a Sandbox environment for extensive testing before the modification to the website has been deployed.
  • Interfaces and dashboards are easily customizable.
  • Multiple External Plugins can be easily integrated.
  • After-sales support is phenomenal.
  • I think some detailed descriptions of the features and functionalities would be good.
It is one of the best solutions to use in an enterprise-level Web App and Web Service development environment. There are ready-made templates available that a developer can tweak to save time during massive deployments. Reporting is also fairly straightforward and can be configured quickly.
