"Powerful tool for building complex. rich websites"

4/5

What do you like best about FirstSpirit DXP?

A comprehensive and powerful tool for building rich, complex websites. FirstSpirit works with your own designs and HTML, rather than forcing you to choose from limited templates. It has rich support for multiple authors, workflows and permissions. The developer API gives impressive access to the underlying data structures. Page generation is fast even on large sites. The web-based editorial environment is very impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FirstSpirit DXP?

Support for enterprise-level environments such as JBoss Portal is limited and requires 3rd-party support. The main development environment, the Java-based Site Architect, is quite resource-intensive, especially when using it with the live previews enabled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FirstSpirit DXP:

Don't think of FirstSpirit as a CMS like WordPress - it's more of a powerful tool for you to create your own specific CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FirstSpirit DXP solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building a content-rich public facing website and integrating it with custom-built JBoss Portal portlet applications for both public site and back-end users. Using the CMS to build the framework in which the portlets sit, alongside hundreds of pages of custom content, allows for a seamless experience for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
