"Solid .NET CMS that's finally caught up on AI and upgrades"

What do you like best about Progress Sitefinity?

Couple of things have actually moved since my last review. The biggest one for us is 15.4 being a long-term support release.. it's supported through 2030, so we're not stuck doing a version bump every year just to stay current. That alone takes a lot of stress off. The admin UI also got a cleanup and now meets WCAG 2.2, which sounds boring but the backend feels noticeably less clunky to move around in. On the AI side, they added an SEO agent that scans your text content and flags missing or under-optimised bits right where you're editing- it's useful in a "second pair of eyes" way rather than magic. Also liked that you can now define Schema.org JSON-LD structured data for pages and content types natively, so no more bolting on a plugin for that. Personalisation is still the part of Sitefinity I'd point people to first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Sitefinity?

Honestly the learning curve is still real... if you're not already a .NET shop, the first few months are rough, and the docs assume you know the Sitefinity way of doing things. Performance is better than it was but you still have to be deliberate about caching and how you build widgets; it won't be fast on its own. And the pricing/licensing conversation is still not very transparent- you end up on a call to figure out what tier you actually need. Would also love the newer AI features to be less "check a box in the admin" and more baked into the editor experience by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for taking the time to update your review and share such detailed feedback.

It’s good to hear that the long-term support provided with Sitefinity 15.4 is making upgrade planning easier for your team, and that the improvements to the admin experience, structured data support and SEO Agent are proving useful in day-to-day work.

We also appreciate the candid feedback on the learning curve, documentation, performance configuration and licensing experience. These are important parts of the overall product experience, and we’ll make sure your comments are shared with the relevant teams.

Your point about making AI capabilities feel more naturally integrated into the content editing workflow is particularly useful as we continue to evolve Sitefinity’s AI capabilities.

Thanks again for continuing to share your experience with Sitefinity.
