Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

We have used the Sitefinity platform to build out a custom Intranet site to store company tribal knowledge, as well as a marketing search engine and a mapping application. All of these have had a big business impact and have been done with a fairly low cost and quick timeline. We are very happy with Sitefinity and look forward to seeing how it grows over time!
  • Sitefinity is very flexible in how you can set up your site and what you can customize. It's a very powerful system with lots of options for plug-ins/integration.
  • The page editing tools are robust and easy to use.
  • The file management is easy to use as well.
  • The main issues I have had with Sitefinity relate to their support. We have had several bugs or issues in the back-end that have taken a long time to fix. We haven't been able to do a platform version upgrade due to all of the projects being done. They have improved their response over the last 6 months. This is not a major issue, just something to be aware of and look for.
  • Sitefinity is a very powerful system and can be complex. You need a great third party vendor to do it right. If you follow this path, the results will be fantastic.
Sitefinity blows Sharepoint out of the water, in terms of cost, features, and ease of use. No contest.
Well suited for medium to large organizations with complex problems to solve. Not as well suited for a small company as it is a complex system.
