What do you dislike about Plone CMS? IMO bottle neck is in using images; I had to make an overwork to handle them by static external system for better performance (\*loading pages took some times even 16 seconds). I also dislike 3rd packages that the value of code some times was weak. From time to time I had a feeling that it was written by juniors with too many bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Plone CMS: It's powerful tool to provide business throw the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Wiki-like engine that Plone uses. It is very easy to add nested/hierarchical information. We use it for documentation of technical information about various systems and locations. It is generally flexible enough for most basic needs, but also has a few flaws. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Plone CMS? The text editor is extremely basic and is missing many WYSIWYG items. Adding screenshots and links is also more convolution that it should really be. Link icon doesn't allow you to make an external link, it is for internal linking only, while the globe icon is for external linking. System also doesn't not assign unique ID numbers to new items, making it less of a knowledge base and more of a structured data repository. You have to define structure and then populate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Plone CMS: For documentation plone is OK, but for knowledge-base type of articles (non-structured) it is not so great. It is missing some basic features, but overall does what it promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Plone CMS solving and how is that benefiting you? System documentation, site information, configuration details., technical resource for internal employees only Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
