Overall Satisfaction with Plone
Is a old proven open source tool very flexible to communicate the content we need to our customer´s employees. We help our employees to design and implement strategies supported with our proprietary app. Thus, for us is very important to be able to have a flexible way to communicate:
- Strategies
- Goals
- Best Practices
- Whitepapers
- Instructions
Pros
- Security
- Scalability
- Extensibility
- Documentation Availability
Cons
- Graphics and design
- Notification customization
- eCommerce Framework
- It was costly to learn how to use it. However, then it's very easy to train new members of the team. We have lower training costs.
- Since it is an old open source platform, there is a lot of documentation, codes, and experience to copy/adapt. We have lower development costs.
- As it is very easy to change/manage content, it allows us to save a lot of IT external companies.
