Progress Sitefinity

Once set up it works pretty well. Administrative side of things is a little harder to use than other CMSs.

It's a flexible UX platform that we really enjoy using. It allows us to scale the website as needed and this is a CMS we can grow with. You can edit code easily, as well as connect to many third-party integrations. The image library is a great tool that makes finding, resizing, and naming images easy.

It is well suited for companies that don't have a lot of technical staff for the content editing end. However, for setup, upgrades and customizations, Sitefinity isn't the easiest to manage. It is also well suited for role management and users. It is very easy to create new roles and assign them to users. Likewise, creation of special content types, such as news and lists for content display is also intuitive and easy to do.

Progress Sitefinity remains a little heavyweight for sites that require basic text content, or a limited number of pages. However, its flexibility (including the range of different content types if supports) make it a good choice for any organization requiring advanced content management capabilities at an affordable price.

It's one of the easiest to use, easiest to customize CMS system available on the Microsoft technology stack.

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 is well suited for marketing teams that need the ability to build landing pages and campaign pages that provide just the right amount of structure and the right amount of flexibility. When implemented correctly, marketers and content managers should only need developer intervention for significant site changes.

Sitefinity is less well suited for organizations with small budgets or that don't modify content on their site regularly.

For clients that want custom features and ease of use when it comes to editing their own website, Sitefinity is a great solution for that. We've had many clients want different views of, for example, a staff widget. Being able to make as many templates as they want and easily implement them by dragging and dropping with the editor to place them anywhere on the page is great.

It's great for a company that needs an easy to use CMS. The interface is very well thought out and organized in a way that you would expect. At the same time, because of how it's engineered - it's really easy to extend as you need. Integration with external data providers is possible and easy to do. The personalization and marketing capabilities are integrated - something that is not common in this price point. There is a licensing fee for the different editions of Sitefinity and that must be weighed with your project budget since this is not an open-source CMS. In my opinion, the license cost is well worth it having dealt with the costs and risks of using an open-source CMS.

Progress Sitefinity is a very good tool to use a more large company. It as simple as WordPress but with more flexibility and customizable. It is simple for non-developers to get their hand and use. It also has good administration abilities to give users certain roles and permissions.

Well suited for a large organization where you would have many editors. Software seems very secure and less "hackable" than some of the open source platforms.

Progress Sitefinity is well suited for users that are not familiar with programming and do not have the ability to manage something like an open source software. It is less suited for clients that want the ability to customize at a high or intricate level.

Progress Sitefinity is well suited for organizations that need non-technical users to maintain portions of the website without having to rely on IT for support. Progress Sitefinity is less appropriate as it relates to customizing existing templates with third party integrations.

Sitefinity is well suited for complex websites that [find] value from having shared content that can be updated centrally for sitewide deployment. It also is relatively user-friendly to operate in once you are familiar with the interface and allows a host of custom modules to be built and deployed. However, it is not always appropriate for clients on a budget who don't require the technical benefits to Sitefinity.

Sitefinity is very cost-effective and support is good. After the 12.0 update, we were able to eliminate use of tools like Unbounce and Optimizely. Having one content management system with broad functionality is very valuable. Sitefinity does many things well like A/B testing, landing page development, and messaging. It is not the best for customization, but it is improving. The one area that would help is more training. Very few webmaster candidates had familiarity with Sitefinity.

Sitefinity is well suited for a company with a programmer available, especially if there are any custom widgets. If custom widgets aren't needed then a company with the need to keep clients engaged and coming back would do well with this software. Sitefinity is less suited for a company that has static information or large volumes of PDFs that need to be downloaded.

Sitefinity is a very cost-effective CMS system with the flexibility needed by a front-end developer while still being super easy to use by less code knowledgeable people. If you just had one server and database set up with Sitefinity it would be the simplest, and possibly adequate, setup. Adding servers complicates the upgrade process, the scheduling process, custom field additions etc. but having development, staging and production servers is worth the effort.

Super easy to generate new pages, news/press items, lists. A little more complicated to set up Salesforce and Sharepoint connectors.

It is well suited for deployments with a dedicated web manager with extensive HTML/CSS experience, and not for situations where one is unavailable for contracts.

Great people to communicate with and on-point to answering questions and inquiries.

Progress Sitefinity is fully featured and has much of the nuts and bolts in place to get things running relatively quick.

Its been great for us to work collaboratively with different teams and translations amongst different countries.

Progress Sitefinity is an adequate content management software, without any unnecessary glitz and glamour.

At the current price point, Sitefinity is too expensive for a simple brochure or lead generation website. There are a ton of great options out there for this use case. It is great if your website will include various integrations to third parties or user management that requires complex scenarios that need to be accounted for.

Progress Sitefinitiy is very easy to use and navigate, and the ease of installation and deployment was, and is, excellent.

Sitefinity is well suited for a .NET environment.
