Overall Satisfaction with Progress Sitefinity
It is being used for our entire website. Each department has its own web manager, but I manage the overall website design and coding. Everything runs through my team before anything gets published.
- Organize pages
- Create lists
- Blogs
- News articles
- Usability
- Reliability
- Help documentation and support
- Easy updating for each department
- Annual license is very cheap compared to other paid CMSs
- Not sure that its value is much better than an open source CMS though
This was already implemented when I arrived here but have looked into moving it to another platform. The time involved in doing that is just not worth the time right now. Sitefinity does what it is supposed to but it's not the most user friendly and support is not very good.
