Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

We promote our business through our website that we created using Sitefinity. We, as a school, allow parents to create accounts and log in to the website to manage their kids' data. We integrated e-commerce and other school-related features such as reports, newsletters and calendar. We also linked our iPhone and Android apps to the website through a dedicated API.

Pros

  • CMS
  • Desktop/Mobile view management
  • Integration of ASP.NET and AJAX
  • Easily management of users and data through API

Cons

  • Performance on low hardware specs
  • Upgrading from one version to another is not as smooth as it should be
As it is .NET-based it opens the door for lots of implementations and third-party tools for us.
Promoting your business, eCommerce, integration of ASP.NET and other custom code.

Not suitable for simple blogs and sites (other less expensive alternatives are available).
