Overall Satisfaction with Episerver Content Cloud

EPiServer is used by many of our clients and also by our marketing team to manage some of our web properties. We are also in the process of converting our primary website onto the EPiServer platform.
  • Enterprise e-commerce
  • Targeted Content
  • Streamlined CMS Editor Experience
  • Site speed performance
  • Multi-channel distribution
  • A stronger multi-tier content synchronization tool
  • Better documentation
  • Increased employee efficiency
  • Better user experience through targeted content
  • Better workflows
We primarily deal with ASP.Net CMS Platforms and here is how we decide what is best for the client:

  • EPiServer - Strong CMS, Targeted Content, Commerce - so if the client requires these items, EPiServer is a fairly good selection
  • Ektron - Strong CMS, Taxonomy, and Data / Template synchronization tool - so if the client requires these items, Ektron is a fairly good selection

For smaller content only driven websites we recommend Wordpress as an open source option.
EPiServer brings enterprise level CMS and commerce capabilities to the mid market. It is strongly suited for this space.
