Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • If there is a problem in production, we can fix it in minuted, which makes our client very happy and lowers their impact to revenue.
  • I also love the ability to adapt the software itself to what our business needs through the use of plugins.
  • Cons

  • The closest I've come to getting WebDAV to work is getting a list of all folders in the dotCMS installation -- but no files.
  • Expensive Enterprise license. Site documentation is poor.

  • Pros

  • For an enterprise grade system, it's also pretty good from a budget point of view. Our clients respond positively to the intuitive interface and that means a lower support overhead for us.
  • Enterprise integration capabilities are also superb with available pre-built integration modules to popular applications like Salesforce and Google Analytics as well as Ecommerce.
  • Cons

  • At this point I have no negative issues with Magnolia. Very happy with platform.
  • The uninstall of the modules is quite unsystematic. There are no chances to go back if an error occurs during the publication of new versions of a self-made module.
