Contemporary responsive CMS

I worked with Kentico as a site admin, updating content, creating new pages, and managing the media library. I found it to be a powerful and well suited for my daily tasks.

Pros:

With Kentico you can build nice responsive websites. I really like the ease of creating different versions of the content and the fact that it is possible to copy-paste portions of the layout. IT does not take much time to start using it as a content manager.

Cons:

If you are not familiar with the system enough you may easily make some drastic mistakes (one of my colleagues deleted a part of what he though was just one page template and changed all the pages depending on that layout).

Kentico is good for integrated solutions

Kentico is a versatile CMS that combines content management, digital marketing, and e-commerce capabilities into one platform. It does have some flaws for the advance features that can take some training to really understand.

Hmm- don't highly customize your website

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The website is very nice looking. We've been able to put some pretty complicated customization in place. We have over 400 content pages on our website.

Cons:

The team that implemented this website went for a highly customized version. It makes any change to the website very difficult- even for seasoned kentico professionals. And, the back-end data is a mess. I have to view three different reports to get information on my users, their subscriptions and activity. It's been a challenge.

Enterprise ready

Overall our experience with Xperience has been rewarding - for our clients and us. The platform is well positioned, well priced, and exceptionally well supported. As a true DXP, it delivers clients precisely what they need - website/content management, digital marketing, and commerce, in a single platform.

Pros:

As an agency, we've been implementing Kentico Xperience for many years. It's a mature DXP that combines content management, digital marketing (automation and other services), and commerce, in the cloud or on-premise. The platform is now .NET 6 (formerly Core), which means it meets the needs of enterprise businesses and can be integrated with just about anything. This is a huge positive for us. It means we can recommend an all-in-one platform that integrates deepling with existing systems and can drive the organisation's content, marketing, and experience needs. We find easy to communicate the benefits to our clients, which is a good indicator of the platform's capabilities. It's easy to use, easy to develop for, and scalable - all things clients need.

Cons:

Because we've been working with the platform for an extended period, our familiarity is exceptional, and there are very few negative points. Kentico's 24/7 support is exceptionally fast when an issue occurs and works with the team to find a solution. A detailed roadmap and release schedule also overcomes any feature shock, allowing for planning and preparation, both technically and when managing client expectations.

Feature-rich .NET CMS option

I have been using Kentico CMS since version 3 (currently in version 9). I've seen the Kentico CMS grow into an incredibly feature-rich platform. Advances made with their EMS (allowing for website and email automation) continue to raise the bar. For my team, each new challenge that is set for them is one that is easily met through Kentico's features or their ability to customise something that plugs in nicely. For the single website operator, Kentico is not the most cost-friendly offering. But for larger organisations that have a requirement for several websites ... the unlimited sites licenses become very cost effective.

Kentico EMS MVC (12 SP+)

Pros:

Kentico EMS's MVC page builder system is very flexible and easy to develop in. Sections, Widgets, even Page Templates all follow the same patterns and allow for simple and quick creation to more complex implementations. Kentico itself has been building a rich set of tools and features that makes creating complex systems, integrations, and management a breeze. There hasn't been anything we haven't been able to build in Kentico.

Cons:

Only down side is the software has become so feature-rich and powerful, that it has started to migrate away from the smaller business market and is priced outside of smaller site builds.

Great Enterprise CMS with Excellent Support

Kentico is more developer focused but not so much that the continent editor experience suffers. It’s pretty easy to get most of the basic features up and working using the built in widgets and features, but is also easily extendable by developers if more advanced features are needed. The support team is very helpful and the company is committed to fixing any bug in accelerated timelines they enforce on themselves. They also plant trees for each big found and fixed.

Can take a little to get use to the dashboard interface initially but pretty easy to understand afterwards.

An interesting CMS option

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The CMS is not too difficult to learn, the website is attractive.

Cons:

The EMS features are really built for specific industries. The conversions are build for e-commerce, which isn't what my company does, therefore every out-of-the box solution needs customization. It's interesting to work through a third-party partner to implement a website and work through their developers to customize, rather than working with Kentico representatives. I have never had that experience with a CMS.
