Reviews
(1-5 of 5)Serving both as the main CMS for several regions and HQ - as well as a departmental application CMS for standalone portals and platforms in a multi-tenant, multi-cloud approach. The main reason for standardizing on Sitefinity is its flexibility and its omni-channel capabilities, allowing us to write once and use across platforms, channels and APIs throughout the organization and externally.
- 'Low-code structured content' (dynamic content types) is one of Sitefinity's most powerful features that allows you to structure content according to business needs, while at the same time dampening editorial freedom to ensure accessibility, meta enhancement, SEO and API consumption can be achieved.
- Sitefinity's content provider model allows us to flexibly (by means of admin interface) easily aggregate or separate content sharing within a multi-site instance.
- This proofs particularly powerful in emerging situations where there suddenly is a demand for content sharing across countries or regions.
- Adaptability at its core.
- While there's never a perfect fit for everything, it allows for easy code customization and extension being a .NET application at heart. Giving it a corporate edge over other custom solutions, whether it is on the development side or deployment side (on premise, IaaS or Azure DevOps Paas). And it has enabled us to put the system to use in its core feature - which is to manage content, where on other occasions we were able to take full advantage of its features such as A/B testing and personalization.
- Roadmap visibility could be better.
- Being a publicly traded company, long term roadmaps will have commercial impacts, however it would be great to see future visions expressed more clearly.
- Video improvements.
- While accessibility and concepts like 'low-bandwidth' are key these days, rich experiences are equally important. When it comes to 'videos', Sitefinity is trailing behind the current use cases where low/high-bandwidth versions, captions and subtitles are a requirement.
Whenever there's an application need for user management, role-based permissions, workflows and page-content, it is simply not done to start custom development from scratch.
For complex 'factory-approaches' its architectural implementation shines brightest and allows for hybrid deployments, full Azure DevOps integration and ensures security and governance are not sacrificed.

- Sitefinity's Microsoft Machine translation integration will allow us to cut production of localized content down from days to hours.
- Sitefinity's architecture and adherance to industry standards of development have allowed us to re-use components, functionality across the various instances.
- Sitefinity's responsive and scalable implementation allows us to build a design system and future digital economy of shared elements reducing the need of constant front-end implementations from scratch for every new initiative, site or application launched.
- Drupal and MS SharePoint
In a few cases, fixes are delayed until a patch release (which is normal behavior) in which case we were offered work arounds.
Great on features

- Full featured.
- Upgrades could be smoother.

Director of CX's review of Progress Sitefinity
- 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.
