Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity
The marketing team uses Sitefinity to make customer facing web changes on two of our websites. The tool allows them to control the content of the site without changing code within the website or involving the IT department.
- It is easy to manage content within the tool.
- It does not compromise the company's security posture.
- It has the capacity to synchronize site content across environments, so the same CRM can manage the content through all stages of website development.
- Support for common port based forwarding versus ip forwarding.
- Ensure the partners you are recommending can deliver on their promises. We got our partner from your recommendation but they were not a good partner at all. We had to take over the development effort before it was delivered with them being over budget for the second time by 40%.
- The implementation of Sitefinity with an existing MVC website should not take 4+ months and cost $300K. We spent between $500K and $600K and more than 7 months.
We chose Sitefinity because it was the only CMS framework that was built on ASP.Net MVC web pages and we believed it was going to be a much easier implementation than the others, since our site was already written in that language.
