Overall Satisfaction with CoreMedia
We use CoreMedia to manage our main website. We have approximately 200 contributors internally who use the system to build, manage, and maintain subsites.
- CoreMedia is a robust system that can manage large sites with multiple, well-organized subsites.
- CoreMedia has a built-in workflow system that functions well for a distributed contributor model.
- CoreMedia, although robust, is also complex. It is not easy to teach or learn, especially when a contributor is not in the system on a daily basis.
- The user interface is built with developers in mind, but not with contributors in mind. It is hard to navigate and not easy to learn or remember.
- Some of the terms are confusing. With the translation from German to English, not everything was translated well for an English-based American user base and it is easy to get confused whether one is, for example, marking something for deletion or actually deleting something.
- WordPress and django CMS
While CoreMedia has a better workflow, django CMS has a much easier user interface, wysiwyg editor, and is superior on every other level. Django CMS is easier to teach and support, easier to manage and develop, and provides much more flexibility in the development and design areas.
