Powerful Content Management System, a bit complex

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates dotCMS Cloud from other similar products?

Many Integration Points. Developer Platform. Speed of content delivery. Flexible and powerful content design and creation.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

dotCMS does everything I need it to do. There is always a way to integrate whatever third-party data that needs to get in or out of the CMS and it provides very powerful tooling to support our business needs.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The complexity in setup and implementation.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure you have a support team ready to set up and implement for this product, velocity is not a well known templating language and running a dotCMS instance is not as simple as spinning a wordpress installation.

Continually Improving Product
Trustworthy
Effective Service
Caring
