Overall Satisfaction with Kentico 8

Kentico 8 forms the basis of our website and all marketing activity. It's used by most people in the organisation for a variety of reasons: blogging, promotional activity, reporting etc.
  • Easy to use.
  • Very flexible. It has an open API that makes data transfer and changes to the way in which it operates easier to achieve than in others we have used.
  • Fantastic support. Always respond relatively quickly and capable of dealing with highly technical questions.
  • EMS product racks up rows of data pretty quickly on busy sites, it would be great to have this in a non-relational DB format and treated as proper "big-data".
  • They could do with a license leasing model for sites that need to scale up and down based on traffic volumes.
  • Better efficiency
  • Better lead management
Better than all of the above on almost every level. SiteFinity comes closest from a developer tool perspective and Umbraco from a flexibility perspective.
If you're looking to integrate your full marketing toolkit into a single solution at a reasonable cost, it excels. For genuine enterprise scenarios the CMS is brilliant, but other areas may be weaker than in specialist products. Kentico 8 probably overkill for much smaller sites.
