Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System

We currently use the Optimizely Content Management System for our Intranet CMS.
  • Ease of development and customization
  • Ease of workflow and approval process
  • Add CMS tools that perform simple tasks to prevent having to write custom code
  • Improve the interface when dealing the the find index
  • It does have bloat for what we are using it for. However, we are in the process of expanding our content to utilize all the features.
Was not there for the initial release.
It is much more intuitive and easily customizable.
