Umbraco CMS Verified User Anonymous Chose Umbraco CMS We preferred Umbraco because it is built with .NET, and most of our team members have proficiency in .NET.

User Testimonials
	Agility	Umbraco CMS
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Umbraco is well suited for websites that are looking to do a wide range of activities that require complex technoligies. An example of this is a company with several different products or services. Umbraco would be overkill for simple sites that are mostly static. It is also difficult to find developers who have Umbraco experience, as it's market share is not all that high Incentivized Jason Kelly Data Manager Read full review
Pros	Ability to plan personalized contents Ability to use webhooks and custom logic to create our own content Ability to setup regionsa and locales for our contents Incentivized Ramprasad Rangachary, PMP® Product Manager Read full review	Quick to learn. For most if cases, developer needs to know Razor coding. Doesn't require back-end programming. Has build in users management (developers, content managers) and members management consoles (users of the site). Clear admin tool (especially in version 7) Fast. Creating code from scratch, so it is easier to create clean code. Filip Witkowski Web Developer Read full review
Cons	Limited functionality for rebuild layout pages. Need better wysiwyg editor. Large time to load and save. Bugs in the app need to be corrected. Incentivized Jaime Maña Business Developer / Advisor Read full review	Migration of data between servers. There are tools that you can pay for that help facilitate this, but like any CMS system, there are still some tricks to getting it to work correctly. Running as a Web Project instead of a Web Site. Umbraco does not run compiled code, but instead compiles it on the fly. I find this to cause some performance issues that would otherwise be resolved with a compiled code base. Incentivized Alex Lada Tech Director Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	I am not a part of this decision process at our organization. Jill Angelstad Publicity Coordinator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	No answers on this topic	Umbraco CMS effectively addresses enterprise content management needs. It's quite mature .NET based CMS, standing out as a leader among its competitors. Websites built with Umbraco are blazing fast. Extensive customization capabilities, and user-friendly content publishing interface makes it an ideal choice for businesses looking for a mature CMS solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	Occasionally, errors will appear in the admin that make it impossible to work without developer support. Incentivized Matthew Hardesty Founder Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	Working in the admin panel (adding / reviewing / editing content) is very slow. The public facing site speed is dependent on what the pages are doing and how well the code was written (whether it is optimized for speed). Incentivized Matthew Hardesty Founder Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Support for Umbraco-owned paid plugins is nonexistent. Incentivized Matthew Hardesty Founder Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	Online training is often based on older versions of the platform. So, you'll have to fill in the gaps on your own. Incentivized Matthew Hardesty Founder Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Spend the time to wireframe the content structure prior to diving in. This helps speed the process of implementation and it serves as documentation for end users. Incentivized Matthew Hardesty Founder Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We previously used WordPress, however this was not easy to use, it was a complicated system and was limited in what we could achieve, there was a big outlay in buying bolts on and ensuring the system was safe. We found we where spammed loads, we tried to make it work however after a year we decided to leave WordPress behind. The company did evaluated Adobe but the dev team decided that Umbraco was the best tool to meet our own needs. Incentivized Debbie Marshall Operations Manager Read full review
Scalability	No answers on this topic	Without significant development, the product does not scale well. Incentivized Matthew Hardesty Founder Read full review
Return on Investment	Increased productivity and less dependency on multiple resources. One stop for all CMS activities which has reduced cost of procuring other tools. Less downtime since the support team and technical team always at our finger tips when needed. Incentivized AK Akshay K T Associate Engineer Software Read full review	CMS is free Support form Umbraco HQ is not expensive, can include Courier or other functionality For most cases does not need back end developer For trained Umbraco developers (Razor coding, using admin tool), developing medium site, takes a few weeks max Filip Witkowski Web Developer Read full review
