Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

We are a small company, primarily made of developers. We build custom solutions for our clients using Sitefinity CMS.
  • Sitefinity is now very mature and it has a great ASP.NET MVC support, which is a huge benefit for developers. It is easily extensible and allows custom modifications. Recent versions are built with DevOps-friendliness in mind which is great as well.
  • Business users find the user interface very easy to navigate and interact with.
  • Customer support is great.
  • eCommerse has always been the thing that could be further improved.
  • The new Warmup module is great, but it would be even better if the CMS invokes it automatically on every page update or content item update.
  • Dynamic Modules are great, but it would be even better if Sitefinity generates a plain .NET object model inside the solution, instead of those "artificial" dll files that it creates.
Much better developer friendly story than Kentico, superior UI compared to rest.
Less appropriate for any complex eCommerce site.

Well suited for any other scenario if the customer can afford it.
