"Robust Security, but complicated and extremely expensive."
3/5
What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

Security. But that is about it. The software is very secure and robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

The UI/UX is very complicated and somewhat outdated. Integrations are hard to setup. Pricing and ROI is not good for small and medium teams, might be ok for huge clients. AI integrations are kind of non-existent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The CMS meets our expectations in terms of security, shared contribution, and multi-site management."
4/5
What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

I don’t yet have enough perspective, as our use of Ibexa compared with eZ Platform is still too recent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

Ibexa once again allows direct access to features from the file tree, which is a very positive point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lars Eirik Rønning of Ibexa DXP

Thank you for your feedback Jerome, We really value your insights.

I see that you are still on eZ Platform. We have made considerable improvements and would strongly encourage you to take a closer look at Ibexa DXP.

The UI has been revamped as i am sure you are very much aware of. Reducing the number of clicks in the back office was frequently mentioned by customers and we spent considerable time to look at streamlining the navigation and also improve the effieciency for editors and marketeers.

We are happy to discuss more in detail. Should you have any question feel free to reply here or get in touch with us.

"Flexible Content Engine for Modern Digital Experiences"
4/5
What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

I really appreciate how Ibexa can serve as a flexible, central content engine that powers the entire customer-facing experience. The platform's modularity lets us tailor the solution to our needs, and the ability to integrate with our CRM and payment provider has been seamless. The headless content capabilities and the ease with which we can personalize and manage content for different users are particularly impressive, especially for building structured, actionable workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

The main pain point is around the pricing model, particularly with the number of environments included by default. Sometimes we need just one more environment, but the current structure forces us to buy a bundle of five, which isn't cost-effective for a growing company. More flexible pricing options for startups and scaling businesses would be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Well rounded platform with some great features"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

Ibexa has transitioned from a focus on publishing to a broader digital experience, and with this shift, they have introduced several valuable features for discovering and creating content. The addition of publication calendars and embedding tools greatly simplifies the work of content managers. The role-based system for managing both workflow and content permissions is especially helpful for larger organisations or in situations where requirements must be reviewed or approved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

From an engineering perspective, the extensibility offered is valuable, although there are certain areas where support for this is lacking. To address these gaps, there is a noticeable emphasis on integrating with external services. In my view, many DXPs and CMSs have shifted toward a headless, service-based model, which I believe is generally a better direction. This is especially relevant when considering Ibexa's price point, as it positions the product more toward a specialised, niche market of B2B ecommerce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A customizable DXP without limits, a high-performance DXP, a clean technical foundation"
5/5
What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

An ultra-customizable DXP, the content is organized in a tree structure and there is no limit to the creation of content types. The code adheres to Symfony "standards," making it a scalable and sustainable product. It is easy to add specific business logic. The version upgrade processes are well-established, allowing the stack to be kept up to date. There are no strong dependencies on external components that would block upgrades. The structure (content type, evolution of role and rights policies) can be modified by migration scripts, allowing it to evolve in an industrial manner. Its ability to handle high traffic while maintaining continuous content update capability is thanks to the fine caching strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

A complex skill development, even though it is increasingly accessible for Symfony developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A robust CMS that fits our needs"
4/5
What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

As a newbie to Ibexa, I like how easy and intuitive it is to work in. Time from learning to actual producing pages is short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

When adding language versions of components and pages, it can get complex fast, but this is the same for all CMSes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lars Eirik Rønning of Ibexa DXP

Thank you so much for your feedback. Very happy to hear that you find it be a productive tool. Indeed adding languages does make it a bit more complex, but also very powerful. Having said that we are always interested in understanding your use case to see if there are ways to simplify.

"Flexible and powerful enterprise DXP on Symfony bases"
4/5
What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

Ibexa DXP is a very flexible foundation for our future business initiatives. Its open architecture based on one of the widely used PHP Frameworks makes it easy for our internal Engineering Team to adapt and extend the Application according to our taste and our needs.

The integrated Page Builder supports our editors to build and immediately review product landing pages according to our design standards without sacrificing the headless support to provide the same data to other client applications.

Last but not least: The support from Ibexa is outstanding! We are constantly in contact with different people of Ibexa that are continuously helping us finding the best solutions possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

To implement Ibexa DXP properly you need the help of a third party agency. This in itself is not so much an issue but having a powerful inhouse Engineering Team collaborating with an external team is at least challenging to manage.

Some aspects of the system are surprisingly underdeveloped. Although the main architecture is impressive and the application has all the main features that you need on an enterprise level there are some areas that need some more time to fully reach their potential.

"Powerful and Flexible DXP for The Enterprise"
5/5
What do you like best about Ibexa DXP?

Content architecture flexibility for building complex content models. Popular platforms provide only rigid structures for content modeling, but Ibexa provides custom content types with relationships between them.

The ability to build multi-brand, multi-site, multi-language, content inheritance, complex taxonomies, and custom field types.

The content repository's versioning and translation capabilities to manage global websites for complex content requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ibexa DXP?

Ibexa has a steep learning curve, especially for those developers who don't have access to expert guidance or structured training. Getting comfortable with Ibexa’s architecture requires guidance from expert training. The documentation could also have better real-world examples to help new developers.

The admin UI feels dated compared to other CMS and is not very intuitive for content authors. The Page Builder is powerful, but it lacks some out-of-the-box features and extensibility that most popular CMSs offer.

The caching system is difficult to implement when self-hosting. It requires a technical understanding to deploy and optimize properly, it is more straightforward on Ibexa Cloud deployments, which offer a much more hands-off experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
