Overall Satisfaction with Nuxeo
We use Nuxeo for:
- User management and as an identity provider to other software components
- CMS - content management - binary files that are used by other software components
Pros
- Upload, store and manage permissions for binary files
- Provides automation for content management tasks
- User and identity management
Cons
- Public documentation - it has some + public forums, but we felt more is needed
- Back-end management - the web UI is fancy, but it sometimes translates to some tough to understand implementations
- Starting sequence of on-premise installations - Java gibberish in the logs; sifting is required to identify real issues from acceptable ones
- No built-in monitoring and performance alerting
- Positive: Allows for solving multiple CMS use cases at once.
- Negative: A very complex middleware application - tough to migrate functionality away onto other fit-for-purpose components or systems.
- Positive: Allows for integration with other Enterprise-grade middleware systems.
Nuxeo was chosen for its support and its track record of assisting similar organizations in solving complex CMS needs. We are currently evaluating KeyCloak as a substitute for user and identity management.

Nuxeo Feature Ratings
Evaluating Nuxeo and Competitors
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
The decision was made after an architectural evaluation and based on the product's reputation, which included consultations and support sessions.
Involve a senior developer as well. Having just architects do a proof of concept showed how some situations are solved, but not how dev teams will adopt the product and will they solve issues with it.
