Magnolia CMS, great on his purpose, less on documentation
Overall Satisfaction
We use it to manage the sites of the customer I work with. We use as a front end application, with a custom module we made. We don't use the authentication module to let the users login, but our secure servlets. the product lets us solve the problem of finding a templating system and a CMS application to not let IT employees change the contents of the web pages.
Pros
- Easy to use for end users
- You can use both jsp and ftl
- It lets you easily develop a site for both mobile and desktop (V5 only)
- Nice templating mechanism
Cons
- Uninstalling modules it too messy
- Almost no documentation
- It uses 2 dbs (one on filesystem) and so it is impossibile to get back in case of errors when publishing new version of self made modules
- Faster to publish content updates
- Profiling the access at the front end management
- Only one point to access the content which is also well organized
- Easy to manage once in production
