Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System

We use Optimizely Content Management System in plenty of our projects. It is a good way to streamline the production of websites, and allows customers to be efficient editors with the highly usable user interface.

From a developer standpoint, the Optimizely Content Management System is highly customizable and allows for complex custom services to be run in the background. It's like the Unity Engine, but for web development.

Pros

  • Handling forms using available Forms-packages.
  • Editing and personalizing content
  • Controlling tasks using Scheduled Jobs

Cons

  • There seems to be limited support for CSP, causing nonce to give errors in Episerver.Forms inline scripts
  • It would be nice if it was possible to convert properties and content types more than it is today.
  • A content type report would be nice. Listing all content types and their instances
  • Optimizely Content Management System lets us add features in less than half the time, compared to having a standard ASP.net MVC project
  • Publishing flows are smooth and automated, giving alot less room for miscommunication.
  • Customers can save money, looking at how easy deployment of content is, and having everything in one unified platform.
Setting everything up is very easy. Being able to start up the website and run it, without customizing anything, can easily be done within an hour. Then you can just start adding content types, templates and customizing the frontend. Deploying the webapp using Optimizely DXP also streamlines it even further.
