Overall Satisfaction with Magnolia

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our company, [we] create a lot of content and archive and manage data, which is a crucial part of the job. With Magnolia, we have been able to consolidate everything and our content has been managed more professionally and effectively [than] ever before. Currently, we have implemented Magnolia in our Finance and IT departments and we [are] looking into implementing it company-wide. For us, Magnolia has been a helping hand in securing and managing confidential and valuable data. I can proudly say that over the past year, we have been able to cater to all our departmental digital requirements, which [have,] ultimately, resulted in [the] effective and financially sound health of the company.

Return on Investment

Customer support teams at Magnolia are awesome.

The admin capacities need improvement.

Usability

Magnolia is an amazing tool for content, especially when it comes to [the] web. However, to me [it is an] 8 out of 10, almost the best. There [are] some other services we have used which do the same job, but way out of our budget so for this reason and the value for money, I guess, Magnolia does it all.

Performance

I gave [it] 7/10 only because of the loading time of pages. Otherwise, I think it deserves an 8. Normally this is not an issue per [se] but considering the rating matrix and as I have been asked to honestly write about it. Yes, the page loading times could be improved.

Alternatives Considered

Apache Cassandra

Pricing was the major concern for us and we found this to be our option.

Likelihood to Recommend

Magnolia best fits with bigger companies who can afford it and also someone who needs additional hands for content compilation and management. If you are looking for something cheap and trendy, Magnolia might not be an option for you. This is the next level of efficiency, but it comes with a price.
