Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

We are using Progress Sitefinity as the CMS for our website. Sitefinity is used by our entire organization in one way or another: our sales and customer service departments rely on the content provided, our marketing department manages our websites through it, and our software development department works in developing and deploying Sitefinity. Sitefinity has enabled us to launch a new website for consumers and professionals, as well as serve as a resource for our existing customers.

Pros

  • Sitefinity's Project Feather is an excellent platform for front-end development. We were able to create custom modules for our site redesign.
  • The modular design of Sitefinity enables us to quickly build pages from scratch and customize the content for our users.
  • Sitefinity offers good image and document management services.

Cons

  • The backend system for administrators recently went through a cosmetic refresh, but it could still be made more user-friendly.
  • Sitefinity can require a steeper learning curve than other CMSs that I've used.
  • We've had success with Sitefinity being supported by our internal software development team. If you didn't have on-site developers, it would be more difficult to manage.
  • We have seen a significant increase in the number of professional leads since relaunching our website.
Sitefinity is well-suited for marketing and customer engagement sites. It is not a good fit for e-commerce.
