"Flexible, Powerful and Easy to Integrate"
What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

Sitefinity's best feature is it's ability balance customization and out of the box functions when building or migrating a website. They also offer great support which is offered in a few tier options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

There aren't as many pre-supported 3rd party connectors as other CRMs, like Wordpress for example which has an extensive list of apps you can easily integrate. Most of your tools will need to be integrated with the help of development resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sitefinity Product Review"
What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

I like that the product uses a database on the back-end. I like how customizable the product is. Our web developers are able to integrate custom code into the Sitefinity project. This supports our ability to include e-commerce components, customer support options, and content that is tailored to each individual customer. I also have had excellent success when using Sitefinity support services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

I think the product has a steep learning curve for both the end-user and the IT technician. In other words, several things aren't very intuitive when creating content. In addition, many configuration options are difficult to find for the IT technician. I wish there were a better path to upgrade to newer versions of the software. When upgrading to a newer version, the process is not intuitive and easy to understand. Additionally, if there is any custom content, this can introduce difficulty when upgrading Sitefinity to a newer version. I also found it difficult moving the database to a new server and migrating the Sitefinity project to new servers (when upgrading from an older operating system to a newer operating system, for example Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2019).

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

"Progress Sitefinity is outstanding"
What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

My day-to-day tasks are simplified using Sitefinity. Managing our web site's content is much easier now. It is easy to navigate and adjust to using. We have a lot of users that are not developers, and Sitefinity makes it easy for them to manage content on our site flawlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

The least helpful thing about Progress Sitefinity is finding resources when troubleshooting an issue. The documentation is poorly written and uninclusive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sitefinity is a great CMS for enterprise and small businesses"
What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

Sitefinity has the ability to create modules which are essentially forms to capture data. Then you can easily modify the data for use on the front end. Love sharable content blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

Some of the products that are not heavily used such as Site Sync or others, tend to have limitations and can bug out at times. Having a vendor that can do some heavy lifting with code is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Working with Sitefinity"
What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

The platform is large yet easy to understand. The user interface is inviting and easy to use. The system has a lot out of the box to work with. Lots of innovation and a bright roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

The system is cache-heavy and can be slow. Lots of technical debt is being cleaned up by Progress that was inherited but lots of investment so the future is bright. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Has potential but needs a community behind it to push it to the next level"
What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

Taxonomy is pretty easy and intuitive. For large companies this has potential. Out of the box and simple site design is posssible without a dedicated developer to create widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

Unreliable. Plugins don't always work as expected. Site sync always seems to get out of sync and you have to manually copy the database. The back end can be very confusing and unnecessarily complicated. The new interface after version 12+ is unreliable. Sometimes code pasted in the html field works, other times it doesn't save with no consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
