Overall Satisfaction with Magnolia

We use Magnolia for our corporate website. Multiple departments with[in] our organization use this product to share product information and marketing content. We moved from a custom-developed tool to Magnolia, as it offered IT the ability to develop and build banners and tools for the users. While giving the users the ability to create, manage and publish their own content with no IT involvement.

Pros

  • Very good support and training team
  • Straightforward publishing/approval process
  • Highly customizable with banners and customer content

Cons

  • Steep learning curve
  • Documentation written for development teams and lacking for User Admins
  • Allowed IT to focus on development and not content management
  • Easy to use
  • Highly customizable
Once your initial configuration and set up is complete, Magnolia is very easy to use.
Magnolia works in our environment with a development team to build banners, customize the system and end users who can build out pages using the banners and customizations built. As the end users bring forward ideas for improvements, our development team can investigate how to make this happen. A lot of features are present in Magnolia and once configured, meet the needs of our users.
