Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity

  • Love the widget and module builder tools
  • Allows me to quickly and easily build new pages without having to pay our digital agency to do so.
  • Our business has reduced its out of pocket costs to our digital agency to develop pages.
  • Not a fan of the inability to easily find and replace site content.
  • The CMS stores all of the data in a database, so replacing specific lines of text is a chore to say the least.
  • Upgrading from one version to the next is also painful. It is worse then a new install.
  • Back office is not user friendly
  • Pages loading too long, overall bad performances
  • No extensive plugin base
  • No state of the art web dev tools and integrated libraries
  • Preheating solution not integrated and very long and heavy
  • Recompilation mandatory even for minor changes, causing availability issues
  • Template handling not practical
  • No quick support
  • Very expensive for a CMS I judge inferior to open source free solutions of the market
  • Bad integration with Azure Cloud Solutions
Not as many as we had hoped. The WYSIWYG doesn't make it so that non-coders can update content. We still need to have HTML knowledgeable people making the updates.
