""Everything" is possible with Enonic"
5/5
What do you like best about Enonic?

The layer structure fits our international company structure well and fuels collaboration between content departments.

On the developer side I find that we have solutions to almost all of our wants and needs and it's well integrated with our visual profile.

I like the overall flexibility; from working with tags for our content, tasks between content editors, the site and search function are super fast, moving and sharing content. As a content editor the platform works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Enonic?

The layer structure makes all the pages from the parent page visible on the "child" pages. I know that they're working on a fix for this in a release coming soon.

I also miss Digital Assets Management, even though our developers have developed a similar function through the layer function which works almost just as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developer friendly platform based on javascript"
4/5
What do you like best about Enonic?

- Very agile platform based on javascript that's easy for developers to use.

- You're up and running with a server in a few minutes and it's just works. Migrating and exporting data is easy too.

- Lots of plugins / Apps on the markedplace to solve common usecases like GA/GTM, SEO ++

- Forum and slack-channel for communcating directly with Enonic staff and other users and enterprise support option

- Cloud based subscription

- Open source and free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Enonic?

- Upgrading to new major versions requires a lot of work and testing and the more applications and sites you have the longer each major upgrade takes.

- The backend implementation of how data is stored not optimal resulting in an ever growing folder of files and folders that are not in use.

- None (or few) out of the box sites to use. You have to setup/develop everyting from scratch.

- Content Studio feels like it's made by developes for developers and can be hard to use in some cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Digital Experience Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Enonic?

Enonic is easy to learn for users, developers and operators.

It is a modern, light, modular CMS with a lot of features and flexibility.

Integrating React-components for the frontend is easy. Server-side-rendering is part of the solution and implemented by setting a parameter. enonic does not need a separate database and elasticsearch is used for indexing the content.

Other powerful features are:

- query, filter and aggregate data

- define properties on site , component and content -level with xml-files and generate forms for users

- define layouts

- page composition

- image-handling (it is possible to process images in real time, e.g. resize an image)

- APIs for everything

- Multi-Site Handling

- enhance features through apps from app-store

- exporting and importing content

- and a lot more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Enonic?

There are currently no integrations with eCommerce-Solutions.

For React the Integration with UI-Frameworks like Material-UI or Chakra-UI (or any other frameworks based on Styled Systems) is currently not possible. For SSR nashorn, which is deprecated is used. Migration to GralVM is on the Roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enonic XP is a great CMS for developers, content creators and users"
5/5
What do you like best about Enonic?

- Good balance between being powerful and easy to use

- A very "full-featured" CMS

- I feel I have to good palette of tools to create good experiences for my content creators in Content Studio Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Enonic?

- Developers can experience a bit long build times (if you are using the WebKit starter).

- The community isn't very large. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and developer-friendly content experience platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Enonic?

My favourite part of Enonic XP is the flexibility the platform provides and the helpful community on discuss.enonic.com and their Slack community.

Enonic XP can be used for both small, medium and large websites, in both a traditional monilithic way and pure headless, or even a hybrid. This makes the platform perfect for us, at it allows ut to build user-focused experiences without being forced by the platform to do things in a particular way.

Our developers love being able to choose wether to code in pure JavaScript or TypeScript or even use frameworks such as Vue or React.

The content editors also enjoy the freedom and flexibility of Content Studio, allowing them to either use templates when building content, or engaging their creativity and make a completely different page optimized for a particular use-case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Enonic?

The documentation could be better and include more complex examples.

It would also be nice if there were more apps on market.enonic.com.

Even though Elasticsearch is great, the version bundled with Enonic is not the newest, and we would love to have more access to the index. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Enonic?

The architecture is nice. I like that most of the necessities are wrapped in the installation. Everything from webserver to login. The ability to use ecmascript in the backend is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Enonic?

The upgrade process could be better. It should not be necessary to have two entire clusters of servers to upgrade a CMS to a new version. Also, it should be easier to upgrade one site at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good tools and a good concept"
5/5
What do you like best about Enonic?

The total control you have of the metadata for your project. The structures give reusable data/fragments that are easy to implement for both developer and maintainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Enonic?

It would be best if you were a skilled javascript developer to start maintaining a project. It requires more of you as a developer, and it can be confusing that the server-side javascript doesn't support npm packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
