Overall Satisfaction with Episerver Content Cloud
I have worked with Episerver CMS for the past 2.5 years as my primary function as a software engineer and can honestly say I have been very satisfied with it overall. There are a few minor complaints that I will get to. But I find that compared to its other competitors it is architected very well. And really there's not much to critique there, other than a few nuances that can be worked around. However, I do feel that from the content editor section visually could use some work. The styles look very outdated and I think this failure in presentation is holding back some of the company's growth. I have also experienced some performance issues occasionally but this could have been related to other non-architectural reasons. Overall I am very pleased with EPiServer and would recommend it over anything else I've worked with in the market right now.
- Well-architected
- Useful content structure
- A blank canvas allowing total development freedom
- Outdated style/theme of content editor
- Potential performance issues (possibly related to legacy framework)
- The ROI has been good... haven't heard complaints from clients
- Difficulty is in finding talent that is versed on the platform

I've only briefly reviewed Sitecore and Crownpeak as a comparison for episerver, and after reading other reviews that I mostly agreed with I came to the same conclusion about episerver. Their flaws are there but not something that is holding them back more than any other companies flaws. I hope they will continue to improve the offering and I will continue to use it.
