We use Sitefinity internally as a CMS for some of our own company sites, as well as offer to build websites and services using Sitefinity. We develop web applications and websites and use Sitefinity as our primary CMS for the solution.
- It has very granular permissions for users in the backend.
- You can customize pretty much anything you'd like for a tailored experience.
- Initialization times are really the only thing that I can see improving on.
- Documentation could be a little more structured.

Want an easy to use, but powerful CMS? Sitefinity is your choice!
We have implemented Sitefinity as the CMS of choice for various website projects. One of the huge considerations we have when choosing a CMS for our clients is the ease of use and the capability to integrate with external (3rd Party) systems easily. Sitefinity ticks both those boxes. It is extremely easy to use for our clients but still gives our developers the ability to customize where we need it. When used with the Digital Experience Cloud (DEC) that progress offers, it's an excellent marketing tool - top to bottom. We also evaluated the cost of Sitefinity against some other solutions and for the license and implementation fees, it was a no-brainer. Other CMS systems costing 2-4x as much could not compare.
- Updates to the CMS software
- Support on critical issues
- Larger install base
- Speed of support replies

Currently being used by multiple departments in the organization. Sitefinity Progress has allowed them to be able to submit content and create forms without any I.T. intervention. It also helps address some administrative overhead so we can focus on improving our overall web presence and back-end server technology rather than helping folks edit.
- Modern platform.
- Good customer support.
- Full featured.
- Upgrades could be smoother.
- Licensing could be more tailored toward our industry.
- Could be considered to have some performance bloat. Would like to see options to slim down the page sizes.

Overall great product, happy customer
Content Management. It is used agency wide. It helps users with our external content management and internal employee messaging portal.
- Easy to use - especially for new content managers
- Great product support/TA
- Maybe more pre-set templates
- Expanded programming options for forms/social media outreach

A good value in a CMS platform with broad functional capabilities
Progress Sitefinity is being used by our marketing team as a site content management system. We use it to create new content and to upload images. It allows our marketing team to engage with our online audience and to remain current/accurate in our messaging. It is managed by our team webmaster, but it is used by many members on our team to create and duplicate landing pages. It also allows us to create messaging at various touchpoints. This is especially useful when urgent messages need to be communicated.
- Landing pages that include metadata, UTM tracking, and vanity URLs. These landing pages are easy to create and can be duplicated in a very short team.
- Site content management - It is easy to add text content and to upload new images.
- Messaging - We often need to create urgent messages related to a storm warning. This allows us to create message units or widgets that alert our policyholders.
- Landing pages are easy to duplicate but could be easier to customize.
- Reporting is limited. If reporting could be automatically tied to Google Analytics that would be a plus.
- An SEO optimization tool that looked for errors and suggested improvement would be very helpful.

Sitefinity is a good fit for our school
The whole organization uses Sitefinity. Primarily it is a marketing tool, but has grown into a company wide resource that allows all departments to reach out to the community and let everyone know what each department can offer.
- Easy to manipulate and organize widgets on a page
- Interface to create custom widgets
- Keeping up to date with JavaScript libraries
- More features and control to form management

Sitefinity has been a very flexible, easy to adopt CMS.
We run our corporate website off a series of 6 total servers running Sitefinity. We utilize it across a few departments, Marketing and IT mainly. Sitefinity has been a very flexible, easy to adopt CMS. We launched a new website and CMS all at once and it was refreshing to utilize Sitefinity over our prior CMS system. Sitefinity is a clean, very user friendly, adaptable, feature rich CMS. Pricing is attractive, features are there, support is very adequate. We have a complex use case with 6 servers running Sitefinity and interacting with each other, and we're still trying to get a handle on simplifying the upgrade process - which has been our only minor hurdle.
- Very flexible and easy to use to create new pages.
- Customizable widgets allow for displaying data the way you need and want it to.
- Simple to setup synchronization to additional servers.
- Diagram or illustrate more use cases for server setups, and managing of upgrades.
- I'd like to see the ability to synchronize from one server to multiple others at once.
- Implementation assistance as part of the purchase rather than farming out to 3rd party, although they did answer every question we asked in order to determine our best architecture setup.

SItefinity = Good
This is a web CMS platform that's being used across departments, but only by a subset of employees that work on web content.
- Modern infrastructure.
- Good quality of technical support, and a renewal/sales representative that is willing to work with you.
- Lots of features and room for customization.
- Delay in getting technical support tickets assigned.
- Performance is a bit of an issue, but that may be due to our on-premise infrastructure.

Progress Sitefinity is being used to host our company website. It has allowed us to host our own site, manage the content and easily customize the CMS to our business needs.
- Customizations can be made easily.
- Built-in tools are very functional.
- Provides integration with other platforms such as Salesforce.
- It would be nice to see more options in some of the modules such as events, news, documents, and files.
- More extensive samples of customization and use cases.
- More updated online training.

Sitefinity is our CMS for our website and all of our affiliate websites. We wanted a platform that was easy to use, yet robust with analytics, customization and features. Sitefinity met our requirements.
- Easy front-end customization
- Feature-packed eCommerce module
- Good support
- Simple mobile optimization
- Pricing structure
- Make process to update software easier
We use Sitefinity as a CMS for our corporate website etap.com and several sub-domains for development. When we purchased the software in 2015, we found that we needed quite a bit of customization of which we rolled back a considerable portion because of our own learning curve of what you can do with Sitefinity. We tried to implement multiple-site replication for our Chinese office and other places, but found that the cost for multi-site licenses is expensive and we couldn't find the development and support staff to work with. Languages was another area where we struggled since workflows didn't work with language roles. Otherwise we have been using the CMS across the company with Marketing being the driving force for content and development.
- Depending on the usage, it is pretty easy to work with page templates and build content widgets
- Content syncing with SiteSync works great
- Implementation of languages works well
- Personalizing page with persona, country or other specific content works well
- We are using release 9.2 right now and are in the process of updating. Using mail templates with forms is a important missing piece.
- Better connectivity of the Digital Experience Cloud with the site content.
- E-commerce, biggest disappointment! Apparently new integration with 3rd party available, but we specifically purchased Sitefinity to have an integrated e-commerce platform.
- MVC page templates
- User guides are very often not very user-friendly for non-developers.

Sitefinity is a good product
We work with a 3rd party vendor to implement Sitefinity CMS to host our organization website. The 3rd party does the development for us and we manage the content on a day to day basis.
- Sitefinity is a stable environment. We don't have many issues with crashes etc.
- Sitefinity has a good organizational structure.
- On the front end, Sitefinity is fairly easy to use.
- We aren't able to do customization on our own. The 3rd party vendor controls the back end code. This limits our ability to always do what we would like to do without calling in a 3rd party.
- It might be helpful to have a "plugin" system, kind of like WordPress, that allows users easier access to a wider variety of functions without programming knowledge.

Great product
We use it as the CMS for two public facing websites. It replaced an existing custom, in-house solution.
- Easily scalable
- Lost of templates publicly available
- .NET based
- Support could respond faster
February 20, 2019
Great solution for those without technical skills and for those with technical skills. Could improve on security and APIs.
We have a few users within our marketing and IT departments that use Sitefinity as a CMS for our website. Sitefinity has made it easy to publish, maintain, and edit content on our website for our clients to find information and access online banking.
- Ease of use. Content items are easy to add to the page and make edits.
- Customization. Standard content items are available but there is also the ability to make more advanced customization by embedding code and scripts.
- Well structured interface. Easy to navigate within the Sitefinity console.
- Availability of an easy to add on two-factor authentication for logging into the CMS.

Progress Sitefinity is a great option for Content Management!
Progress Sitefinity is being used in our department for the purpose of web content management. It has been a great solution that is user friendly and intuitive to use. The personalization options are terrific and have been very valuable in our strategy. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the market.
- Progress Sitefinity is user friendly.
- It is easy to get on-boarded with Progress Sitefinity.
- Managing your web content is made much easier.
- No complaints here!

Flexibilty to suit any need. Also re-usability if you program your custom items correctly.
We use Sitefinity for marketing purposes in order to provide prospective students a knowledge of who we are and what we do for our community. Sitefinity is also a platform to gather information from those same prospective students so we can contact them in a more personalized method. Sitefinity has given us the ability to create custom widgets and forms to grant extra content based on who has applied to the school and who has paid a deposit.
- Sitefinity Technical Support is always responsive and ready to help. I have even gotten follow ups at night and on weekends.
- Sitefinity is designed to be flexible. No matter the requirement, there seems to be a way to achieve it.
- Out-of-the-box items can satisfy a great deal of the needs, but never get in the way of customization's I create.
- I was trying to set up a new app and the online documentation hadn't been updated.
- However, I contacted support and they got back to me quickly with the correct instructions.

- Digital asset management

Director of CX's review of Progress Sitefinity
It hosts the static site for the organization. It's the hub that moderates our business.
- Easy to make on the go changes.
- We can personalize messages based on a number of factors such as, location, times visited, etc.
- Affordable.
- We can make directional changes for the business without assistance from IT.
- Client engagement is low. Ensuring that you get the latest and greatest version doesn't happen as often as I'd like. When you ask a question, you are usually referred to a SOW and not the actual services you paid for.
- There is no Client Success Director to ensure we are properly using the product.
- We could use training and that is not offered.

Robust and Powerful CMS
I use Sitefinity with clients now to provide them a CMS solution that has a good user interface and a wide variety of features available "out of the box." I also use their available libraries and platform to add custom components or integrations for my client's unique needs. For those that need a .Net based proprietary CMS solution, I find it the best option available for the most reasonable price.
- Intuitive and user friendly interface for creating and editing content.
- Easy to implement additional features, such as a blog, news feed, or document repository.
- Powerful library to extend your site with custom integrations.
- Powerful ability to build customized templates and user controls for reuse on multiple pages.
- Solution code does not play well with a standard source control mechanism such as Git. A few changes will be needed.
- Creating custom widgets that are non-trivial takes additional time and effort.
- Upgrading the platform can be problematic if the default tool doesn't work.

Sitefinity review
In 2012, I moved our organization from being reliant on outside vendor for all content additions/changes to using a content management system (CMS). Sitefinity was the best choice for our company because I wanted a CMS that was .NET based for integration with other Microsoft platforms, was a proprietary system for a predictable and stable platform, was inexpensive, and was easy to use.
- Makes it easy for an administrator to assign roles for others in the organization to contribute content.
- Easy for administrators to know when new content has been created and is ready to be reviewed and approved.
- Its licensing model makes it very affordable for small and medium sized business to adopt the platform.
- They continue to update the platform with new features
- We have created a Chinese version of our site. I do not read or speak Chinese; however, I cannot create a role for one of our Chinese employees to be an administrator of the Chinese portion of our site. They must either be an Administrator for the entire site, or an editor for the entire. This creates additional effort / hassle for the team.
- I have what I believe to be a simple question for the owners of Sitefinity. I wanted to see about using Sitefinity with AWS. Our web agency says that we cannot ask the owners a question, because they will only respond to an "issue". Because we cannot get an answer from Telerik, we are trying to figure this out on our own....and spending a lot of money along the way.
- It is difficult to find one agency that understands both the front end design capabilities and the back-end technology capability of the platform.

Wouldn't even think of using anything else!
We use Sitefinity to update our website. The Marketing/Communications department is the main user but other departments use it as well to make changes to pages associated with their knowledge base. It's made the website update process much easier because of the ability to share tasks.
- Sitefinity is very user-friendly. If I'm not able to figure out how to do something, their knowledge base is very detailed and easy to understand.
- The standard components of Sitefinity make it very easy to add new modules to our website. For instance, blogs, general news, and events.
- The online account is very nice. One login/location for me to access my license, renew the service and ask questions.
- I would like to see an easier to use image solution. This could be active in the upgraded versions, but I'm not currently able to upgrade.
- I do wish there weren't so many steps to activate a new module (I may be using the wrong term here).

Progress Sitefinity is an affordable, quality CMS.
We use Progress Sitefinity as our external facing website. It represents our entire organization.
It addresses marketing, communication, enrollment management and serves as an internal employee web portal.
Our ability to tie into our active directory of users, to quickly get users up and running and allow for multiple editors across our organization is invaluable. The publishing workflows that Sitefinity allows for, gives us the web governance control we need, while allow our content experts the ability to generate content that can be moderated before being live.

The publishing workflows that Sitefinity allows for, gives us the web governance control we need, while allow our content experts the ability to generate content that can be moderated before being live.
- The content publishing workflows in Sitefinity are easy and work very well.
- The editing interface is my favorite. The layout widgets, in conjunction with content widgets make creating any number of content layouts in just a few minutes a piece of cake.
- Access rights and permissions are easy to set up; and more importantly, give you the ability to be very granular (person or role).
- The upgrade process for updating the system is lacking. While there is a "simple" upgrade installer, many times, the assembly references are broken or point to older versions.
- I typically wait until an X.1 version before I upgrade our system. Each "new version" of Sitefinity comes with quite a few bugs and usually aren't resolved until the X.1 update.
- The ability to control the HTML editing control is not as easy as it used to be in older versions.

Flexibility in developing CMS websites, together with the tools and features offered. Sitefinity enables IT to deliver software fast, without having to worry about managing the CMS, users etc. since the product is standard and fairly easy for the business to use.
- Content Management System is great for software developers to work with
- Develop websites fast
- Simple for non-technical users to administer website content
- Technology tie-in
