Why I think modx beats all other CMS that I have tried to far (I built sites using more than 5 other popular CMS)
- Customize, no limits anything is possible in terms of design and output.
- Scalable, can grow fast in terms of page numbers and still serve them faster than most CMS out there.
- Security - its really secure esp if you harden it. Knock on wood, but we never had a MODX site hacked.
- Fast - caching is great really great speeds
- Quality add ons - instead of 1000000 plugins MODX has a few that are written really well and do everything you need, fast and optimized.
- Releases - MODX 3 is taking long to get released
- Small community

For our university MODX stood out among the rest!
- Ease of use - the MODX platform is very easy to use for someone who may have limited experience in content management.
- Content blocks - the content blocks within MODX add to the usability and customization of the website being managed.
- Content Blocks - I mentioned this as a strength, but it also has its quirks. There are times that things do not function properly within the content blocks we have set up.
- More Customization - The ability for the average user to customize more without having to know a ton of code.

- Custom design capabilities.
- Works well with plugins.
- Permission systems for users.
- The user interface was confusing at times.
- Not a plug and play CMS system.
- The site manager doesn't always run fast.
