"Great service for flexible websites"

5/5

What do you like best about dotCMS?

dotCMS is super powerful with the ability to create dynamic content easily. For those inputting content, it is super easy. It really allows you to access various pieces of information in an easy way.

Their support is exceptional as well. Whenever there is a problem, they get back to you very quickly.

After reviewing some other platforms, dotCMS is also priced very well too, especially for all the features it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dotCMS?

You need a certain level of coding knowledge to be able to be a good administrator. I need more help than I would like. This platform is great for a whole team, web developer and SEO and strategic marketer. You really need ALL those skills for this, and I only have two out of three. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is dotCMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

dotCMS is our CMS for our primary website. We have a lot of information and dotCMS allows us to display it in ways that are easy and helpful to our website visitors. They also offer Professional Services which is solving the problem of our lack of coding knowledge. While I would like to be able to do this on my own, it is not feasible at this time so this service is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
