Episerver Content Cloud

Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System

Episerver/Optimizely Content cloud - as we refer to internally, Episerver CMS - is our website content management and external web-facing development platform is used as a marketing, client engagement, and client experience platform for the bank - our way of communicating and providing web service or tools to our current and prospective client base.
  • Availability of service - Uptime.
  • Ease of use for content manager.
  • Account management - it would be ideal to be closer aligned with Optimizely to understand the roadmap and service/features being made available.
  • Training and support for developers/users.
  • New martech apps, connectors or widgets.
  • Saved hours and close to a million is ZAR in terms of not requiring agency support when it comes to content deployment.
As a business, it is fairly simple to use; however, getting used to the platform and specifically developing for a CMS/DXP is a steep learning curve for developers. We are moving away from our implementation partner, and the process has been drawn out due to the nuances that the team was not aware of or assumed incorrectly.
We were able to start delivering content quite quickly; however, the initial front-end framework, CMS config, and integration took up to 8 months, even with our implementation partner driving the project.
