Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

We use Sitefinity to host our corporate website. It provides a reliable and stable platform to managing the content and deployment of our website.
  • Good content management features.
  • Good performance.
  • Integration with analytics.
  • Ability to build upon using API and Visual Studio integration.
  • Difficult upgrade process.
  • Does not offer an option to restore backend configuration or revert to original defaults.
  • N/A
We mostly chose Sitefinity because we are current users of Telerik (Progress) development tools. When they purchased Sitefinity we decided to switch from our custom developed website to one hosted on a CMS. We have had some experience with DotNetNuke in the past and Sitefinity seemed to be a very polished and usable alternative.
It's well suited for hosting websites and managing content.
