"Powerful capabilities but lacking a top end editor experience"

4/5

What do you like best about OpenText Web CMS?

Really powerful customisation capabilities, both in terms of what you present to the front end but also in terms of the abilities to customise the editing interface, custom preview page types, custom forms editing using FormAPI, making it easier to craft solutions that match business processes rather than processes having to adapt to the CMS tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Web CMS?

At the time I used it, there was limited support for full integration of multi-variant testing and other personalisation features that other tools perhaps had already adopted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Web CMS:

Carefully appraise the variety of .net solutions (EPiServer and SiteCore being the main players) to ensure that Teamsite is definitely the right tool, I feel it has perhaps fallen a bit behind in the last few years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Web CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was able to deliver very bespoke solutions to a variety of business CMS needs, working within and alongside their existing offline processes, presenting them custom front end editing screens that guided and helped them through complex tasks and made easy ones as efficient and quick as possible.

"TeamSite introduced me to the CMS world"

1.5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Web CMS?

Abstraction of production environment from authoring/dev environment for enterprises using Open Deploy. Workflow modeler enables customize to all needs of an enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Web CMS?

The whole product has not updated itself to the new technologies and practices available today. Under the hood the product still runs very old complex design. When a person updates a component he/she has to regenerate/publish all the reference pages once again. This is a huge design flaw. In any other web technology ASCX and JSP files allow modularity and help make change in one place and experience everywhere. Version Control must have been GIT or something externally configurable.
