I find some parts of CoreMedia's platform could be more user-friendly for operative users. Certain workflows require a lot of clicks, making tasks cumbersome. For instance, scheduling a single component involves setting up numerous configurations, which could be streamlined. Additionally, there's an issue with the library folder; it can't be moved to another screen, which restricts flexibility. The initial setup was challenging, largely due to the system integrator's limited knowledge of the platform at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CoreMedia is an enterprise content management system that can be customized to meet individual needs. Especially for high loads and fail-safety, the delivery component of the CMS can be very well scaled and expanded as needed. Within CoreMedia, a lot of open source is used, such as Apache Solr, Nginx, and Spring. Since CoreMedia is based on Java, a lot can be adapted and customized with skilled Java backend and frontend developers. Additionally, the collaboration with CoreMedia is very good and trustworthy. The support from CoreMedia is very competent and responds accordingly quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CoreMedia can be well operated on Kubernetes but still has a few weaknesses, especially in the editorial area where components cannot be duplicated because certain components are only allowed to run once.

As a result, unfortunately, complete Blue / Green Deployments cannot be carried out.

The communication between the individual components currently still takes place via the CORBA protocol, which is somewhat outdated. There is already an announcement that this will be removed in future versions.

Since CoreMedia is an Enterprise Content Management System that can be customized to one's own needs, it quickly becomes very complex and time-consuming in terms of familiarization and operation, especially in the administrative area.

Updates to newer versions are more complicated because so much can be adjusted and customized, as one's own changes must be ported accordingly. Here, the flexibility of the system is both a curse and a blessing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
