Great Support, But Search/Replace on the Website Needs Improvement **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Relations | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2026 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** Excellent customer service and technical support. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** I can’t easily do a search-and-replace on a website. Reviewers can't see the difference between old and new versions of a file side by side. I can't to identify orphans in the system. Unable to locate pages that link to other pages in our site easily. We rely on third party tools now to do things we used to be able to accomplish in our old CMS. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides a secure platform for our websites. **Official Response from Maria Sweeney:** > Thank you for your feedback.

Review Sitefinity CMS **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** It's based around Microsoft Technologies so if you are use to these, it will feel familar. You work in MVC or .net Core **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** Sadly the company has taken the decision to remove it's lower tier subscriptions so it's not possible for a small business or individual to choose Sitefinity as their CRM; it's strictly for Enterprise Companies (i.e. those with very deep pockets). This is a shame becuase it has killed off the community and by doing so there is no Marketplace to download ready made components. So you end up re-inventing the wheel creating components or widgets via code over and over again like Groundhog day. Such components are available already in the Wordpress store ready to use, so you can rapidly build a website without writing endless code that no doubt every other Sitefinity user has written already. You only need to take a look at the Sitefinity marketplace (online) and compare to Wordpress to see there are very few integrations for Sitefinity and those that exist are dated and never get updated, because they only have their paid employees, rather than a worldwide community of contributers. Hopefully Sitefinty can reverse this decision and have community and small business and individual licenses so that they can rebuild their lost community. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** It makes it easy to create web pages and play with layouts. **Official Response from Product Team:** > Hi David, Sorry to hear your misgivings about a solution, which you sound like you used to enjoy. Indeed, the sunsetting of Sitefinity Standard and Small Business Edition was announced in mid-2022 and they were officially discontinued as of June 30, 2023. Progress offered alternatives to the discontinued options for both on-prem license holders and Sitefinity Cloud customers. Both exceed the core CMS functionality of the retired packages and include multiple optional add-ons on top, allowing adopters to comfortably access only the features they need. Comparisons with open-source solutions will rarely be objective strictly on the number of community-contributed widgets and other ready-made components. Without getting into the quantity-vs-quality debate, at Sitefinity we choose to enable developers through native support of diverse presentation technologies in a decoupled API-driven architecture that can work with a wide range of frontend frameworks across .NET and JS. The stand-alone ASP.NET Core renderer offers complete feature parity with MVC and gets an immense productivity boost from one of the best Blazor UI component libraries, developed in-house. With native support for Angular and Next.js/React, we believe we’re in fact expanding the Sitefinity developer community by bringing different technologies on board and catering to a broader set of use cases. Several product releases since the sunset of the “lower tier” subscriptions have brought significant productivity and practitioner experience enhancements too. Overall, we have been investing in technologies rather than utensils—hoping the said technologies are equally accessible regardless of size, scope and budget. Sincerely, The Sitefinity Product Team ### 3. Not worth it from my experience **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephanie O. | Manager of Marketing and Communication, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** the wizzy-wig editors/drag and drop was easy to use and being able to write your own code and implement it was simple. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** The fact that you had to pay for every single update. it became overwhelming for my company and we ended up being behind over 20 versions, making the platform basically useless. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Implementation was easy, keeping up with the upgrades was not worth it. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a website platform that could integrate with our CRM. It was simple to connect and we never had an issue with the connection. ### 4. A small cms that leaves a lot of room for improvement **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nathanael M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** As a developer / devops engineer, I can't think of anything I found good or outstanding in the Sitefinity product, I feel it falls behind its competitors in the majority of areas. If I had to pick an area I think that was the best part of the product, it would probably be feather (but even this lacks in many areas). **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** The page based architecture (unlike umbraco / sitecore being more of am item based architecture). The need for a lot of magic strings to make it work and gave poor error guidance when it didn't. Building an atomic design was near impossible Content being (generally) limited to a single widget (whilst reusability is possible, it is annoyingly complex to achieve) The price tag (considering there are better cms' for less money imho) The promotion pipeline The lack of community add ons / support **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Look at Umbraco, Episerver or Sitecore. I think they are far in advance of Sitefinity **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** I built a website for a large American education establishment. ### 5. Endless Headaches **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2018 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** We really like the ability to have multiple nested page templates that can be overridden and inherit from each other. This allows us to manage the large retail websites we maintain for US state specific products. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** Creating custom widget designers in AngularJS is downright awful. They will all have to be completely rewritten using Angular - whenever Progress/Sitefinity adds support for it. There is no way to control the routing mechanisms to customize SEO urls - it only allows redirects to one URL. It also doesn't support an empty url for the homepage. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** We recommend others look for a lighter-weight CMS that is more customizable and easier to integrate other technologies with. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using it as a Front-end CMS for our Marketing department with personalization of experiences through their Digital Experience Cloud. ### 6. User interface is great but Perfomance is not good at all **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephan F. | Head of Technology and Digital Transformation, Events Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** User interface for content editors is very user friendly and they love it. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** Installation done by our partner is very very slow and deployment process does not work. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Make sure your implementation partner doesn't overpromise on performance. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Providing an easier interface to our content editors. ### 7. Basrely functional **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2018 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** There is not much we like about Sitefinity. It constantly breaks on us, and pages revert to prior versions without us realizing it. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** The system is not intuitive--modules are not easy to copy and tweak. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use this to host our customer facing sites. ### 8. An application with far too many revisions in too small a time-frame **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Terri G. | Digital Project Manager, Entertainment, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** Who wouldn't like a robust CMS? With a plethora of templates and features, this tool has a lot to offer. For users who don't need to overhaul a template, or like our case... modify Master Pages, this tool should suffice. However, if you are required to go down that rabbit hole, be prepared to deal with poorly organized CSS content and a convoluted mess of templates and dependent files. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** With the exhaustive revision cycle, this application churns out entirely new version numbers 2-3 times per year. Our somewhat basic site was left in the stone-age (version 3.4) in 3 years. Revisiting it for updates, we were forced to either set up and entirely new server to migrate the site up to version 9.x or just move it to our own server for hosting and drop the CMS entirely. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** If you are working within the constraints of the tool, you'll likely not have problems. Also, whether you're actively updating content or not, stay on top of CMS version changes or you'll rapid be left out to dry when the CMS begins to fail. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** The larger portion of our organization wanted a simple solution to hosting and updating their website, so this tool was chosen as the home for that site. This tool was initially chosen so we could build out the base site and hand it back for others to make updates, however, those changes always ended up being done by a developer due to tweaks frequently needed on master pages. **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi Terri - thank you for providing us with feedback. We take comments very seriously and use them to help us improve in the future. I'm sorry to hear you may not be enjoying your experience with us. I'd love to assist you in having a more enjoyable experience. If you're interested, please reach out to me via email at kschueri@progress.com  to discuss. Have a great day! Thanks, Kelsey Schuering, Progress Software ### 9. Some good points, some bad points **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** - The basic user interface - The module builder, - The page layout system (though some customers found it confusing) - Many functions exists right out of the box **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** - The continious mysterious bugs and problems!!! - User rights system is horrible and buggy - The thing that if you wanted to do things in slightly different way than the sitefinity basic way , development could get very difficult and you'll have to strech the system and think of way how you can bend it to do what you want. Just like in Sharepoint (which I hated) - Trouble with integrations and creating systems to for example updating a course catalog from outside source - The news system - Many out-of-the-box modules rely that customers are competent in creating html content (not true) - Sometimes very slow - Many stupid things, like not being able to link any kind of data to any module - designers are difficult to customize **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Still not a mature product. Many problems in development **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Customer problems, from basic websites to educational institute course system - Benefit: lots of ready stuff (that is difficult to modify...) **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there, Thank you for providing us with feedback.

Thanks, Kelsey Schuering, Progress Software ### 10. SiteFinity is well outdated and a very poor choice for a CMS solution **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Defense & Space | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** Unfortunately there is not much to like about Sitefinity. By comparison to other modern CMS offerings it's interface at the administration level is slow and poorly designed. I guess the fact that it actually renders pages is about the only thing that is positive. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** The backend of the product is convoluted and difficult to locate features. Much of the advanced interface is bundled under Administration-Settings. It is very difficult to locate components. For example, to add a Dot Net user control as a widget requires: Login-to back-end -> Administration -> Settings ->Advanced -> Toolboxes -> Toolboxes -> PageControls -> Sections -> YourDirectory -> Tools -> Create New Sitefinity documentation is extremely poor. Locating any feature requires major amounts of work and research. Information on the net appears to have ceased in 2012/2013. There is almost nothing which directly relates to version 9 - the latest version. Therefore I find myself looking at instructions relating to version 4 of Sitefinity - rather than version 9 for which we have paid a lot of cash. Sitefinity has so many annoying characteristics that I would not recommend anyone purchase it. There are far better offerings in the market-place, including free. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Don't **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** A large website with 3 million visits per annum. **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there - Thank you for providing us with feedback. We take comments very seriously and use them to help us improve in the future. I'm sorry to hear you may not be enjoying your experience with Sitefinity.

Thanks, Kelsey Schuering, Progress Software ### 11. Irritating **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** Draggable widgets....................... **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** Demands high levels of customisation. Sitefinity developers are very expensive. Seem to be few high quality developers/designers – you end up feeling like a prisoner of the ones you work with. Constant, unexplainable hang-ups. It's slow and clunky. For a simple website requirement, it offers nothing that can't be achieved in Wordpress for way less cost and hassle. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Depends what you want it for. It's probably good for higher complexity of corporate site, and when huge quantities of content management required with multiple levels of user access. But if you just want a simple website that's easy to manage and low cost to develop, then look at other options. If you don't have development and design resources in-house who can handle this kind of CMS, you have to have an excellent relationship with your developer agency – they're all expensive and not necessarily as expert as they say they are. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Company website. No benefits beyond other simpler, cheaper alternatives. **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there - Thank you for providing us with feedback.

Thanks, Kelsey Schuering, Progress Software ### 12. Very Few Positives while working with Sitefinity **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** The out of the box admin is ok when it's working. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** We implemented 2 pretty large sites using the Multisite Enterprise license and it's been an absolute nightmare to be honest. First of all, their multisite isn't really so. Both of the sites are housed under the same web application, so when you make a backend change or module change that requires a restart, both websites get reset and there is an incredibly annoying system initialization that takes both sites down for 30 seconds to a minute while this happens. This makes continuous integration incredibly tricky. It seems everytime we go to use some of the built in Sitefinity "features" they are always broken. Ecommerce was completely not finished and barely does anything out of the box. I had to spend a couple months of development customizing to make it work properly for our needs. It's constantly giving vague and ambiguous errors that Telerik is aware of, but hasn't fixed yet. We tried using the Salesforce connector module, it stopped working after a few syncs so we had to go custom. We've been utilzing their Site Sync feature, it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Getting it to play nicely with SSL and Load Balancer is also a huge chore. Our front end team has have a pretty hard time getting javascript to play nicely with the built in one they try to load on every page as well. We are currently having to restructure how the functionality is housed due to how Sitefinity is., I personally cannot wait to never use this product again. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** For the price tag, I don't see the value of this product. There are much better products that will meet your business needs out there for the same price. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ecommerce, Lead Management, Brand information, Campaigns etc. The sitefinity forms have worked well for us without much customization, which is rare. **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there - Thank you for providing us with feedback.

Thanks, Kelsey Schuering, Progress Software ### 13. Currently using Sitefinity for company website **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** I don't have any specific features that stand out. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** As a new employee, I inherited the management of a Sitefinity site. Within a couple of months it became clear that we needed more page templates and modules/widgets to use for the content needs we had. The IT team at my office didn't specialize in Sitefinity so I started looking for freelance Sitefinity developer or a local web development company that could help us. I was able to get a hold of the Sitefinity main office (that sold us the CMS in the first place) and they offered design/dev help, however their ability to help us develop full pages and concepts was limited and the price was higher than we were able to pay. We were unable to find any developers that even knew of Sitefinity, much less specialize in it, and in a search for online documentation we couldn't find anything after 2014. After 6 months of trying to band-aid our many issues I finally gave up and suggested we move to Drupal. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Pick a CMS where you can have full support. An open source product typically has better support options. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have seen no benefits. The problems we are seeking to solve are 1. the need for multiple users to be responsible for different sections of the website. 2) ADA/508 compliance 3) Integration of more video 4) Management of content **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there - Thank you for providing us with feedback. We take comments very seriously and use them to help us improve in the future. I'm sorry to hear you may not be enjoying your experience and see no benefit, with Sitfinity.

Extremely extensible and the users like using it, however development is slow. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Russ F. | Software Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** The ability to create custom widgets using Sitefinity's API. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** Load times are incredibly slow which makes development a pretty terrible experience. Unfortunately I inherited this project and the original developers chose VB webforms as the platform. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** If implementing a new CMS for a client, i would personally recommend a more widely used and/or open source solution. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simple content management and displaying of information. Custom widgets are used for specialized views and custom navigation. **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi Russ - thank you for providing us with feedback.

Getting better but not a lot of good integrations. **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** When built correctly (using a great Sitefinity partner) the tool is great. They have a great language adaptor that makes translating into multiple languages very easy. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** The integrations with Sitefinity are limited. We bought the extra Marketo upgrade that doesn't do anything for us. We are also interviewing multiple vendors for software integrations and NO ONE integrates with Sitefinity. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Multiple language. **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there - thank you for providing us with feedback.

Slow and unresponsive **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Semiconductors | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** It would be a good CMS if it was faster and would work like it says it is suppose to. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** How slow it is and unresponsive. Also upgrading to a new version is a nightmare. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Don't until they work out the bug and speed issues. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Right now I am solving problems caused by the use of sitefinity **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there - Thank you for providing us with feedback.

Sitefinity experience destroyed by expensive partners **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?** Sitefinity is relatively cheap for a CMS. It gives marketing team the ability to regularly update content once site is setup. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** Being help prisoner by expensive Sitiefinity partners (web agencies) with limited skill and no service. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** Use WordPress **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Growing presence online, publishing content in real-time **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there - thank you for providing us with feedback.

I suppose the drag and drop functionality is decent. **What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?** It's not easy to use for non web designers. I was told this would be ready to use with little of no training. It's not. **Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:** I would not recommend this product. **What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?** New website. No real benefits. **Official Response from Kelsey Schuering:** > Hi there - Thank you for providing us with feedback. We take comments very seriously and use them to help us improve in the future.
