Agility vs. Jahia Digital Experience Platform

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.

We have a large volume of digital content to manage and distribute across various channels, Jahia DX is an excellent choice. Its robust CMS allows for efficient content creation, editing, and management, while its flexible delivery options ensure a consistent user experience across all platforms. While Jahia DX is designed to be user-friendly, some technical knowledge is still required to set up and fully utilize the platform. Businesses with limited IT resources might find it challenging to get the most out of Jahia DX.

I am not a part of this decision process at our organization.

I would not use Jahia as it proved too complex for our needs and didn't help our over goal of customer satisfaction. Along with the man hours to build and execute, it wasn't worth the hassle

The interface and ergonomics are designed to facilitate the use of the product. The creation of template is easy which allows to minimize the actions necessary for the provision of content.

[I give it this rating because it] was up most of the time. There are so many scheduled reboots that I don't think it would be a good choice for a 95% SLA.

It's stable after upgrade to Jahia 8. Not much server down so far

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.

As I was saying, the support makes sure to be available for any question, or any technical point that we may need to discuss about. Moreover, whenever we have an issue with the platform they get alerted and also send us an email so that we are aware. We had multiple complex topics to work on in the past, but they always have been answering our question

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.

I would say that the Jahia Digital Experience Platform is definitely easiest when it comes to content management. The ease of use when everything is properly implemented is very high. Other platforms have significantly higher effort to make content from scratch in my opinion. Expandability via custom development also appears to be easier. This expandability also seems to support more complex functionality than other platforms, possibly due to the ease of modifications.
