Overall Satisfaction with Magnolia

Managing content per channel for one of our websites. Looking to roll out across the business as part of a wider CMS strategy. User base is circa 3500 users currently. We chose Magnolia because of it's superb out-of-the-box capabilities for personalisation and ease of implementation. The support from the company has been second-to-none.
  • Ease of implementation
  • Personalisation
  • Customisability
  • Easier configuration options
  • Software as a Service option
  • Allows for fresher content to be delivered quickly to our readership.
  • Personalisation aspect has increased page engagement
Easy to get setup and productive. Configuration elements for more specific user requirements can be difficult.
Impressive load times compared to our previous incarnation. <1 second for first meaningful paint.
Cost was prohibitive for SiteCore. We liked the support that Magnolia gives us in terms of being an actual Company. We love open-source, but have had problems with Umbraco in the past in terms of upgrade paths etc.
