dotCMS Reviews & Product Details

dotCMS has been a great solution for my organization and enterprise clients. Besides its flexibility, it's also highly customizable and able to handle complex content. I am able to shape dotCMS into exactly what my client requires for content and websites. It's also relatively easy for non-techy people to learn and get comfortable with.

If you're not a developer who already knows the language, there's a long learning curve before you're able to code Velocity to do what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What we need first is a tool that let us create relational database collections without limit, with GraphQL to access our data. That's what we found and many more. There no limit with data collections , projects, entries and it's very powerfull regardless of its elasticsearch and caching capabilities. The onboarding was very easy, supported by great people.

We first try the server version which is very difficult to install on premise. The cloud version is a charm compare to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CMS is able to Handle a massive amount of content quite responsively. Searching using the index provides for fast queries. The cloud hosted environment is very stable and support is usually very quick. The extensibility of the system is very impressive. The plugin framework allows for adjusting or adding new features quickly. The ability to add plugins live without a restart allows for very fast testing and speeding up development times.

Sometimes the documentation can be a little frustrating to understand. Especially when getting into the more technical aspects of the system, there is frustratingly sparse explanations for how certain functions work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product documentation was on point and easily searchable on their website. We ran across some issues with our deployment which they resolved quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although they support k8s deployments, it's rather in an infant stage. In time I think it will get better, maybe they'll have a helm chart. This is more of a heads up than a direct complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DotCMS allows us to divorce technology from design. Content creators and designers can work frictionlessly on our system without needing to know middleware or backend programming. We've enjoyed using dotCMS for more than 8 years. In that time we've build several websites and hundreds of branded pages for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The templating (Apache Velocity) is not widely used and requires some specific learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface and the possibility of integration with all most everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really can say that i found nothing that should i dislike since working with dotCMS and it's team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used an older version of dotCMS when I was a college student working in our communication office. I’d say I had average tech literacy and didn’t need extensive training, and it was easy enough to use. I don’t feel like I could get a website up and running myself with it. It looks like they’ve updated some of their interfaces though so that may not be the case anymore. Overall, pretty good product but not my first thought for website builder.
