"The best enterprise open-source CMS, very powerful, highly extensible and easy to integrate"

5/5

What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

There are many thing I like about eZ. First of all its open source which offers more innovation and efficiency when implementing web solutions on top of it. At the same time the end client has, optionally, enterprise level support to lower the risk. Furthermore, eZ has a great architecture with 2 important pillars: extensible content model for channel agnostic content management and separation of content and presentation. It has several API-s that offer easier integrations and customisation. It is based on Symfony2 PHP framework which offer almost unlimited ways of extending the core. It is known for its upgradeability (taking care that the product can be upgraded smoothly when needed) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

The weakest point currently (Q1 2015) is the editor experience which is based on the old administration interface (the concept dates back from 2003 or so). The long awaited new editorial interface is in the works so we should have more appropriate experience for editors during 2015, finally.

Also, the learning curve is high, but it is a consequence of the fact that it not a simple CMS, it has many features and traits, and it is possible to do the same thing in many ways. So eZ might be better described as a Content Management Framework. Documentation (especially for beginners) is not very rich which contributes to the steep learning curve. This is changing recently as newer versions of eZ are based on Symfony2 which offers plenty of resources for developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ibexa DXP:

During 2015 eZ Systems will rollout a completely new editorial interface. That should make the product much easier to use by editors than it is today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ibexa DXP solving and how is that benefiting you?

My company is implementing eZ based solutions from 2005. We successfully implemented and are still implementing medium and big sized web solutions. We very rarely reached limit with the product, there was always a way how to solve some issue. We like the combination of open source and enterprise which is rare and hard to accomplish. The architecture made it possible to build efficiently multi-site, multi-language and multi-channel solutions for our clients and partners. They appreciate very much, not just the cost, but the time to market benefit which is very important in this fast paced web landscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
