"dotCMS made management of content and information very simple"
What do you like best about dotCMS?

Being a Java shop we needed something that all of the developers could easily understand. Content maintainers don't have the technical understanding that the developers do, so a good visual editing environment was needed for them, dotCMS provided that too. dotCMS fitted in with our environment perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dotCMS?

We have a niggly bug that crops up now and again. dotCMS support have been unable to assist in resolving it for us. Pages appear missing from the admin screen, they still exist but just aren't displayed. As a workaround we have to re-index dotCMS. Sometimes it works first time, other times random other pages appear and disappear, and then another re-index is required. It is just a minor irritation and doesn't affect the functionality of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexibility and cache power"
What do you like best about dotCMS?

dotCMS allows you to use it in the way you want. You can go from purely headless with APIs to simply hosting all your site(s) in the platform. It provide you with the ability to organize the content the way it makes more sense for each different project/site. On the top of it, the Cache system is impressive. You could have your DB in maintenance, if your content is cached, it'll be served like if nothing was wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dotCMS?

Sometimes flexibility comes with drawbacks. The limitation of the java based system is that sometimes you will need to do custom things at the core level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
