Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

We use Sitefinity to support the CRM requirements for our public facing website. This is administered by IT and used by marketing for day to day content management. Any customization is handled by the IT department at the request of marketing or other departments throughout the organization. We have used the product for over 5 years.
  • It is a product that supports a high degree of customization.
  • It provides a nice interface for content managers.
  • It supports users of various roles (admin, content authors, etc.).
  • The documentation has traditionally been very poor, especially in terms of customization support.
  • The load balancing features are spotty and unreliable.
  • The recent elimination of the Standard edition was disappointing.
I think that Sitefinity is strong in that it allows users a good deal of customization to suit the product to their needs. One area that I feel it does not work as well is when it needs to be incorporated with another private website that is being hosted on the same domain. The login solution tends to become over complicated and difficult to deal with.
