Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

We use Sitefinity as an e-commerce platform for one of our brands. Planning to redesign and migrate our corporate site from Joomla to Sitefinity in the near future.

Sitefinity CMS is well built, easy to learn and work with, but it is short on features, especially for digital marketers.
E-Commerce module is decent for small and medium size businesses, but it doesn't come across as an enterprise-level solution.
  • Content publishing, managing, versioning is easy.
  • Page/template design is very intuitive.
  • Digital Experience Cloud (DEC) is nice, but costly.
  • Short on features, especially for digital marketers. DEC is available for Online Marketing Edition and up only. (Did not buy DEC.)
  • Automatic content synchronization between Sitefinity environments/instances is unclear.
  • I wish Telerik continued to invest in Sitefinity's own e-commerce module instead of developing symbiotic relationship with ROC Commerce, which is a mess.
Did not participate in Sitefinity CMS selection process, but it is obviously night and day in comparison with Joomla.
Well suited for hosting small to medium size websites. Less suited for robust enterprise level e-commerce solutions.
