Overall Satisfaction with ExpressionEngine
We use ExpressionEngine for client websites. It is being used on a case by case basis. It's a good CMS for developers. It provides lots of control and very good organization. I'm a big advocate in custom fields and post types. It makes the work flow easier. Once I got used to their syntax language, I was able to develop faster. I'm also a long time user of Module-View-Controller (MVC), so I was able to pick up that whole aspect to ExpressionEngine quickly.
Pros
- Custom Fields
- Custom Post Types
- Syntax
Cons
- Cost
- Employee Efficiency
- Good intro to MVC for employees
- Cost is a negative. Most people would rather use Craft or WordPress.
- Wordpress,Craft,Drupal
It stacks up well. Issue is that it costs too much money. I could do the same thing, a little unorganized, with WordPress.
