A few reasons to go with Agility CMS

Product Capabilities
Chose Agility
Both Assai and Atlassian Confluence have steep learning curves. I personally feel the system should be plug-and-play majority of the times. This saves a lot of time and cost. Considering how expensive getting training professionals can be, a tool that is simple to use can add …
Chose Agility
Agility is specialized in the content while the others disperse their attention into many other subjects or fields. Agility can store all your product, attribute and category information and then plug it into your website to automatically updates the front end, whenever you …
Chose Agility
Agility offers a balance of simplicity and capability that other platforms don't offer. User-friendly platforms like Word Press do not offer our company the ability to fully customize our site based on our goals, but more adaptable programs like Drupal do not offer the support …
Contentful
Chose Contentful
Easy to use and much more organized as a single platform versus multi. The layout is clean and easy to read and we don’t have to worry about certain users safe guarding data or content then losing it when they leave the company. It’s a one stop shop for imagery.
Chose Contentful
Contentful was affordable and much simpler than the Java based systems and preferred over a PHP solution
Chose Contentful
In the past we've used WordPress to manage documentation content. Wordpress was more flexible than Contentful but also prone to inconsistencies and we ended having a lot of hacks to accomplish various Wordpress tricks. With Contentful there's less ambiguity so content producers …
Chose Contentful
Contentful offers a great deal of features for a relatively low price. This is what ended up persuading us to purchase it. We also gathered that this was one of the more well-rated products out there, which was encouraging. It definitely stacks up well against its competitors.
Chose Contentful
Very similar to WordPress, but has more organizational properties than square space.
Chose Contentful
For custom solutions, Contentful blows every other CMS I've used out of the water. Unlike WordPress, there's no clutter to wade through, and you can simply build the infrastructure you need. It's more secure by far, and works seamlessly with modern frontend technologies, like …
Chose Contentful
Contentful was the most user-friendly platform that everyone in our company could understand. It doesn't have the integrations that Wordpress does, but it was easier for everyone in our organization to use. We've also seen good ranking and traffic from the pages created in …
Chose Contentful
Contentful is easy and fast and cheap. I went from zero experience to loading data out of my contentful space in about an hour or more. The cost is very reasonable and compared to options like CloudCMS are a fraction of the cost. The benefit is that with a lower cost entry …

Likelihood to Recommend
Agility CMS is great value for money for a complete CMS solution. Overall user experience of this system is amazing for both, users as well as developers.Solid CDN, asset management, editorial features that come in very handy like content scheduling, image editing, batch publishing, are some of the plus points. Mobile support for developers has a scope for improvement though.

Support Rating
Support is always available and responsive when we email, responding right away that they are on the case, even if they are unable to solve the issue right away. Support will usually find the issue of our problem quickly and require minimal hand-holding, direction, or re-explanation from our team. They are knowledgeable about the platform and our instance and are able to run diagnostics with minimal information from us. When issues are resolved they always request confirmation that things are working as expected before closing out our tickets.

Agility offers a balance of simplicity and capability that other platforms don't offer. User-friendly platforms like Word Press do not offer our company the ability to fully customize our site based on our goals, but more adaptable programs like Drupal do not offer the support resources to simplify the structure of our site with pre-existing modules or professional development to meet our needs.
