"All-in-One Flexibility with a Learning Curve"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Kentico?

I’ve had a positive experience with Kentico. It’s a solid all-in-one platform that brings together CMS, marketing, and e-commerce features in one place. What I appreciate most is its flexibility with ASP.NET, which makes development feel smooth, while still being straightforward enough for marketers to manage content and run campaigns without much friction.

What do you dislike about Kentico?

One downside I’ve noticed with Kentico is that it can feel a bit complex and heavy, especially for smaller projects. Compared to simpler CMS platforms, the learning curve is steeper, and customization can sometimes require a deeper understanding of ASP.NET. On top of that, licensing costs can be on the higher side for some teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jonathan Kentico of Kentico

On the smaller-project complexity point: that's fair, and it's something we're actively working on. For editors and marketers on your team, the Business user learning map sequences content management, customer journeys and user management into bite-sized modules that bring the ramp-up window down noticeably. For developers, the Xperience by Kentico documentation and the developer kickstart path are where the ASP.NET-specific patterns live.

On licensing feeling high-side for some teams — worth a fresh look at the pricing page if you haven't lately. The split between self-managed and SaaS has more flex than the perception sometimes suggests, and our partner network can sometimes bundle licensing in ways that fit smaller engagements better. If a specific client scenario doesn't math out, that's the fastest way to unblock it.
