Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

[It's] Used to empower digital marketing teams with the tools and capability allowing them to create and manage engaging, responsive websites with minimal reliance on IT.
  • It's easy to get up and running quickly with lots of sensible options set by default. There's also lots of options for advance configurations.
  • Interface is fairly intuitive for both content editors and site administrators.
  • Technical and Account Management support is very good: they are responsive and quick to resolve any issues or queries raised.
  • Getting the site to work in a highly resilient and fault tolerant manner takes some effort. The options and documentation is there, but it's not as straight forward as one would hope.
  • Make sure you understand the licencing models in order to select the most appropriate for your needs. If your business spins up and tears down lots of sites it can get expensive as domain licences are non-transferable.
Ease of use, CMS feature set and cost.
  • Good for traditional information, brochure-ware, portal and retail sites.
  • Sites requiring federated authentication can be a bit tricky to get working but doable with a bit of customisation.
  • Not particularly good for single page apps.
