Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System

We are developing Episerver solutions for our customers. It's usually used by the whole organization but represented by a small group of editors. We allways work from a user perspective. We want to increase KPI, increase ROI, and have happy users for our customers. The problems or possibilities depend on our customers' business areas, but we always feel that we can tune Episerver to solve our problems.

Pros

  • Content management, versioning, publish workflows
  • Language handlring, setup for enterprise companies
  • Continues product updates
  • Active community

Cons

  • SEO features
  • Support for enterprise companies that are using bulk publish with "Projects"
  • Redirect support, 301
  • Accessibility features
  • The freedom in Episerver and the creativity developed by the partners generates great solutions
  • Episerver can be modified almost in any way that the customer demands
  • There could be more standard functionality in the base product. All websites should support accessibility, SEO, rewrites etc. At the moment its up to the partner to solve this.
Its a very flexible product that can be adjusted for each customers requirements, content, tech and editorial
Episerver outranks these products in most cases. There are some functions in each product that you would love in Episerver but when you sum it up Episerver is the greatest :)
