Overall Satisfaction with Magnolia
We use Magnolia to allow non-technical marketing and communications professionals to quickly and easily update websites on their own without technical support or development. The workflow also ensures governance so that all changes are reviewed/approved within the business as well as quality assurance review by our technical team before publishing. It has been crucial in helping improve speed to launch for changes to existing sites as well as quick launches for new sites. We currently have more than 300 websites set up through Magnolia across six companies in our enterprise.
- Easy to use for non-technical resources to update content and images
- Faster implementation/launches
- Version tracking and workflows/approvals to support governance
- Drag/drop functionality to make page building/component usage more intuitive for non-technical users
- Ability to customize workflow notifications by site/roles and/or pause
- Out of the box ability for key site templating like Google scripts, no index/no follow, etc.
- Refocus of technical resources: Our front-end developers can invest time in scalable solutions that benefit multiple sites rather than minor content updates on day-to-day sites.
- More control to marketing and communications resources: Non-technical employees can make updates themselves, preview changes for review and approval, and request publishing all on their own.
- Speed to market: Instead of only having one install a month or week, our team is able to support ad-hoc publish requests within two business days as the marketing and communication teams request them. This has provided much-needed flexibility and speed for website changes.
- Elimination of agencies: By having a more turn-key solution that empowers non-technical resources and allows for faster implementation, we've been able to consolidate or eliminate agencies and other website platforms, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
Prior to using Magnolia as an enterprise CMS solution, different teams leveraged different website platforms including WordPress, Weebly, and others. While these other platforms may be slightly more user friendly to the content editor, they don't offer nearly the same amount of customization and digital best practices out of the box that are customizable by web development teams like Magnolia does. The other solutions may work better for a quicker/simpler web implementation without technical resources but don't have the depth and breadth of capability and functionality that Magnolia has and fall flat.
