Siteglide is particularly well suited to membership sites, especially those where a recurring payment is required for access. This extends to eLearning functionality where the Web Apps can be used to build some pretty advanced functionality. The only downside at present (although they're working quickly to step it up is the eCommerce (buying, shipping and processing product sales).
Siteglide has been very useful in migrating several websites away from Adobe Business Catalyst as they approach EOL. The migration process has been fairly straightforward, and in many cases, the underlying code has been simplified and made easier to maintain. Since I'm a solo entrepreneur, Siteglide has been a great tool to have available during the migration. I've been able to quickly migrate the sites, and expect to have better responsiveness and uptime as a result of the Siteglide / Platform OS integration.

Adobe Business Catalyst Migration
Client Support and Responsiveness to questions and issues
Product Improvement and Feature Upgrades and Additions

"Drag and Drop" website building and maintenance could be improved in order to compete with other site-builders. Less reliance on knowing HTML, CSS, Liquid, Javascript, etc. would be a good direction to go in the future.

As already mentioned, migrating websites from Adobe Business Catalyst, or <u>any</u> other platform is a strength. Using the Siteglide CLI, websites can be migrated as a static site to Siteglide, thus greatly reducing the amount of work necessary for the migration. Also, as long as developers are acquainted with HTML, CSS, Liquid, and Javascript, building sites with Siteglide can be done rapidly using their Siteglide Studio site builder.
One of the additional strengths of Siteglide is Webapps. These can be easily used to provide the display and manipulation of dynamic data. The site can be designed so that users can change information without knowing anything about the underlying code. It allows a form-driven way to update site pages.
