Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System
We use it as the CMS for our main website, it is great for modifying front end content and is it great for hot fixing front end problems on the website due to its flexibly and scripts
- The customizable block and page types
- The script block is really handy for doing front end fixes, something I missed when using other CMSs
- Being able to apply styles and scripts globally or by page via the CMS itself is really handy
- The search bar for blocks you've created doesn't work on my version of the CMS but this may have been fixed in an update
- the WSIYG block removes/scraps any CSS in it which for me can be pretty annoying
- If you're inactive for like 10 minutes then you will have to refresh, this can be annoying for me sometimes
- Having a really user friendly CMS allowed for our comms team to upload their own content/news stories
- The admin features such as redirects and related search term help improve our user experience greatly
- The reports are really useful for determining information about our website
The initial set up of the CMS in a local environment is really straight forward and takes little development, from there isn't easy to extend and customize as needed.
I prefer this CMS because it uses C# instead of Php on the backend, and the interface is more user friendly in my opinion.
