Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System

Content management and design. Governance and access control. Reports and data presentation for public and private consumption. Document management for case files, API ecosystem for updating data, live data from multiple sources, and releasing content on a schedule from the CMS programmatically. The CMS allows us to open up content creation to those who really know what they need, while the ability to update templates independently makes a much more effective user experience.
  • Seamless deployment.
  • Separation of concerns.
  • Schedule jobs.
  • Asset cleanup.
  • Upgrade and community.
  • Upgrade roadmap.
  • Mass content management.
  • Providing features on CMS 11.
  • Time saved in updating content.
  • Easy version logging.
  • Decent document management (programatically).
Nine months with a vendor. The vendor wrote a toolkit and then expected us to update it through their channels and request their support to make changes. Caused a big headache for our org. After they were gone, we had trouble making additional extensions based on the complexity of the solution. It is very expensive to build, maintain, and upgrade.

Did implementation of Optimizely Content Management System go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Optimizely Content Management System again?

Yes

Great CMS for large organizations to quickly get concepts to implement and test in the real world. Wouldn't use it for small projects that don't often change. Don't use a hammer when a screwdriver would work. Make sure Opti is the tool that will work best for your organization. But if it is right, it really will be right.
