dotCMS Reviews & Product Details

dotCMS was a great out-of-the-box solution for our organization. It is able to handle complex content and relationships and makes it relatively easy to build your website or app around your content and data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface and learning curve can be intimidating for first-time or casual users. However, it had improved significantly over the last few years with more improvements constantly coming down the line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The relationship and tagging features are great for delivering dynamic content across multiple sites. We can use tags to group related content and suggest content to users based on their tagging history. Relationships allow for content to be linked across pages dynamically.

The admin area for non-technical users is a little confusing. The way content creation works within our system means we need a large amount of training for users to utilize our full system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity, I've used other CMS programs such as Shopify, Magento, Wordpress etc and I found I was able to dive straight in and get started, the Velocity took me awhile to get my head around but with it's comparisons to Javascript it's helping me understand.

The updates, not being updated to the latest version (Which solves ALL the issues we initially had). I'm not happy we have to be upgraded one stage at a time 4.0 - 4.3 (test and the upgrade). I feel it's a waste of time and resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Versatility: it's an ibrid CMS and it's great for headless developments and standard content management both.

Great UI: updated to the latest technologies (angular 6 next to 7) and extremely powerful and intuitive (noCode philosofy)

for my experience I can only say that the product has grown considerably over the years and that there is nothing that really does not going to be resolved soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to use, not only for me (not a programmer) but for my 50+ content editors of varying degrees of tech savviness. I can deploy new content types quickly and relatively painlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it had a better calendar tool for front facing Calendar of Events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
