Overall Satisfaction with Clickability
Clickability is the CMS that we use for 15 of our local broadcast sites. Employees that have access to it are developers, designers, sales, producers, reporters, etc. Not all employees have access to the Clickability system, and most don't have full permissions. It's a great tool for creating our sites' pages, publishing stories, delivering quality news and weather reports for our users.
- Clickablity allows for easy story publishing. This is crucial with breaking news and keeping viewers up-to-date.
- It has a good back end for specific development of additional features. We work with a team of developers that create items for live video promotions, weather closing ticker bars, etc.
- The templates that you can create help with quick page layout reproductions to help with usability and site continuity.
- The initial concept of how the pages work with sections can be tricky. Once you get into the system and start creating layouts and pages, it's becomes easier. You have to have some training and a good period for learning.
- There could be more drag and drop features.
- Some menus are small and take a while to change the placement (i.e. updating navigation).
- More page views
- Easier layout replication
- The system maintains a history that is easy to revert to in case of errors or changes
- Great staging server

Evaluating Clickability and Competitors
Yes - We hosted our sites on our own servers. We needed an option that had a better history to prevent page/content loss and a system that would allow for easier page replication/reproduction.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
Price and usability were key. We needed a system that wasn't too complicated, but fit the budget.
We looked at several other systems. We researched price, usability, reviews, customer support, etc. This one met our goals.
