Overall Satisfaction with Magnolia

Magnolia is used in our Business to build our brochure websites. Currently we have 25+ websites live in Magnolia, however are undergoing a migration from our old content management system over to Magnolia where all of our 180+ websites in 80+ countries will be managed. My role within Magnolia is to document the requirments for new features and enhancements and ensure we maintain Magnolia to the latest updates. Long term Magnolia will be used in the business for other functions such as our logged in portals and other applications.

Pros

  • Managing content
  • Easy to edit content
  • Easy to build and deploy new functionality

Cons

  • Ecommerce within the single platform
  • More personalisation required. - Changing content based on page visited / city user is in.
  • Speed of development
  • Speed of content entry
  • Single source of assets
Magnolia is super intuitive. There is very little training required in order to be able to add content to a page.
Magnolia itself is very fast. We have issues where third party scripts impact page speed but that is nothing to do with Magnolia as a platform.
