Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sitefinity internally to power our own corporate website. Additionally, we are a Sitefinity partner, so we implement Sitefinity sites for customers around the United States. Sitefinity is a powerful CMS that is easy to use, while at the same time is easy to extend and integrate into other systems.

Pros and Cons

Out of the box support for news, blogs, forums, forms.
Out of the box ability to point and click to create new, custom content types as needed.
Rich API for developers to use in implementing solutions.
Extensible platform to allow for integration with other systems.

Improved startup time after developers makes coding changes.

Alternatives Considered

Umbraco CMS, Kentico and Sitecore Web Content Management

In terms of feature set, Sitefinity offers more out-of-the-box features as compared to Umbraco.
In comparison to Kentico, Sitefinity has a better back-end admin set of tools.
In comparison to Sitecore, Sitefinity is cheaper and easier to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

Sitefinity works well for sites/systems that need real content management capabilities. For example management of users, groups and roles, content approval workflows, multi-language support. If you are creating a custom line of business application that has no need for content management, this CMS might not be needed.
