Usability

because it's a nice and easy-to-use solution. It's a very useful tool indeed and the workflow it's very intuitive. Java-based it's the best option for safety side use in my opinion and the architecture implemented it's a nice safety side solution to protect content and data storage.

Performance

Pages load very quickly. It's the fastest solution in the market. But having a huge content makes us experiment a very slow time of charge that makes unhappy our clients. That's because we use over 500k nodes in some content apps, [which's] very difficult to handle with a structural type database

Alternatives Considered

WordPress and Adobe AIR

I use magnolia because my client asked for it in the beginning because he had a long history of using magnolia for years. I think magnolia is middle-hight rated in the stack of similar products. Maybe it's not very well-publicized and it needs better marketing techniques or wastes more money in that way.
