"Awesome .NET CMS !"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Evoq Content?

I like that is very simple to use, simple to extend and there are thousands of available modules available to use. Also there is a pretty big community so is easy to find help & support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evoq Content?

The only thing that I dislike is that can be tough to move content from one install to another. I'm mostly thinking in a PREPROD / PROD environment where the users enter some content first and then want to push it to production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerfullll search engine"

4/5

What do you like best about Evoq Content?

The best part of evoq is its awesomely powerful search engine. Many clients assume that a powerful search engine is an out-of-box feature of a CMS (Google ruined them ;) ), without considering the cost behind it. And now they will get it, just as they would like it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evoq Content?

Nothing is discomforting, except a few browser issues (it's more like limitations of older browsers). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Evoq Content:

You need to know if end client is asking for a Ferrari or a Fiat and evaluate evoq accordingly. It might be not the ideal solution for each client, but its worth giving a try (use free trial version). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Evoq Content solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing a powerful CMS with equally powerful search engine. No rocket science, but sometimes its difficult to manage the expectations of end client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DNN is our platform of choice for building websites for clients all over the world!"

4/5

What do you like best about Evoq Content?

On-page admin functions and editing.

The skinning engine.

Granular roles-based security.

The ability to create multiple portals on a single DNN instance.

I could go on and on! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evoq Content?

If there's one area where has DNN fallen short, it's ecommerce. But now, thanks to Will Strohl and Hotcakes Commerce, even ecommerce is a pleasure with DNN! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Evoq Content solving and how is that benefiting you?

The DNN framework allows us to create custom applications and experiences for a wide variety of use cases and customers with specific business problems. The huge benefits of using DNN that we've realized is the flexibility to create web solutions for just about every scenario you can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enterprise Solution Framework"

5/5

What do you like best about Evoq Content?

I can do any web solution including extranet and intranet solutions. Since it is on top of Microsoft Technologies there are no limits in the customization of the solution at any level.

There are no barriers in the implementation of any UX.

The integration with Telerik is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evoq Content?

It doesn't have advanced options to manage users and pages.

There is no way to share users and roles between portals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evoq Content?

I've done a simple test and not really in deep. One thing I noticed which should be improved is the API integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DNN - Flexible, Reliable"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Evoq Content?

The security and extensibility of the platform allows us to sell solutions build in DNN with confidence. From SMBs all the way up through enterprise level clients, I know that DNN will perform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evoq Content?

As easy as the DNN CMS is to use, the occasional small business still compares it to WordPress in ease-of-use (which is often spawned by their familiarity with WP).

It's like a kid who prefers a bicycle to a Harley - it's easier to ride, but you lose all the power and capability. Its a small challenge and one easily overcome for the Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Windows CMS"

4/5

What do you like best about Evoq Content?

DotNetNuke is an excellent competitor to Joomla or Mambo (both typically run on non-Windows OS'). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evoq Content?

Because it is for Windows, you have less of a free community and more pay for everything (addons, etc.). You also have the overhead of the Windows OS on top of the CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
