"A Powerful CMS If You Have A Deep Dev Bench for Your Organization"

4/5

What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

We have used SiteFinity for our corporate web presence for several years. While we haven't taken advantage of the personalization and marketing cloud tools - it has been a powerful content management tool. Editing content has improved with advances in the on-page editor. Reusing content throughout the system makes publishing a breeze. The template and design tools also allow you to easily make new pages and sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

Compared to Wordpress, if you do not have a strong dev team you will struggle to make some changes in the CMS. Templating and the overall look/feel/functionality requires a developer. While your mobile views are editable, it does require some extra labor to ensure the site looks good across all screen sizes. This may be a limitation of our current templates/site implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?

We originally wanted a CMS that ran on the .NET framework as we are a Microsoft ORG. We have a variety of content for a variety of audiences and Sitefinity helps us manage it. While we haven't realized the full benefit of content personalization and persona journeys - we ultimately want to get there and have that capability baked in should we move forward. Overall, the biggest benefits we've experienced have been an improved experience for our visitors and the ability to make regular visual improvements throughout the site.

"Strong CMS with room for improvement"

4/5

What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

The page editor is among the best I've seen in a CMS. Layouts are great for flexibility and Feather widgets make it quick and easy to get content on the page. The page editor is easy to use and moving content around is fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

Widgets could use more customization. Content block custom properties for things like background colors, additional fields for layouts to allow for users to add padding, alignment, etc. Separating the CMS from the front end would also go a long way in shortening downtime between deployments. Adding a way to edit data in a custom database table would also solve some problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly extendible product but requires a noticeable effort to customize"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

Ability to set it up for my needs the way I'd like. Everything is possible, highly customized & extendible.

Ability to make any content and functionality easy to use by content managers and marketers, and also write own functionality for contend editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

Requires a noticeable time and effort to finely customize, although once committed, these customizations can be re-used and don't require spending time and effort again.

Technical support not always knowing the product so well and also may ignore security problems (like open-redirect vulnerability). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Main problem was to migrate from old engine that doesn't give content managers so much instruments to write/customize content so easy.

After migrating to Sitefinity everything that needed to be customized/edited became able to.

All content is easily managed by own-developed controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

User experience is by far the biggest benefit of Sitefinity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

I really wish Sitefinity prioritized developer requests more often (VS always focusing on marketing requests). There are a ton of areas that Sitefinity can improve the developer experience - but they never seem to get prioritized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SItefinity CMS Enterprise Review"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

Permission and role options for multiple people to edit; Some of the widgets for dynamic content and JS rich components; Backend UI improved now that we're on 12.2; cloud editing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

As a front-end designer/developer and managing the site editors, I wish I knew how to customize widgets for non-technical users better. I would prefer them not to be able to edit in HTML mode, but many times that's the only way since the WYSIWYG is unreliable. However, this puts content and page structure at a higher risk for breaking. There also isn't substantial training available or resources that have been made available to my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Progress Sitefinity:

Write a list of your needs as granular as possible and ask many questions about workflow and those who will use the product to understand better how this product fits your need, growth, and budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress Sitefinity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Web designers and developers can do their craft well. From enterprise-level it seems to work well to integrate with other platforms and SSO. I like having test server before deploying to live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
