Clickability (discontinued) vs. OpenText Web CMS

I think Clickability does a good job of organizing all the elements in a webpage. You clearly can choose what and where you need to be, via tabs. Some functions are redundant and cumbersome. Like switching an ad placement. We have a, b, c positions and it should be easier to move them around. Currently, it is not. You have to re-create the entire ad, with a different position. Not efficient.

OpenText TeamSite is well-suited to large, enterprise-wide implementations where customization, content governance, and dynamic content distribution is needed or prioritized. It is probably not ideal for smaller sites with simple architecture and few resources to manage custom implementation.

• The ease of search for items by ID makes finding something quick and easy.
• The system moves very fast, which enables us to respond to breaking news and get content up on the site quickly.
• Making copies or opening read-only versions of stories are great so that one person can read while another person produces.

• Offering compelling experiences to customers, which help in improving satisfaction
• Information is delivered across multiple channels
• Testing relevant result sets to improve the rate of website conversion

• Choosing ad size/placement should be easier than it is. Now, I have to re-create the whole thing.
• When you "save" anything a pop-up comes up that is redundant.
• Ad list only shows a limited number. It's not until you click on one and cancel it out, then you can see all the listings. A bit tedious and redundant.

• I have recommendation for improvements.
• It is easy to work with all the features.
• All necessary content management tools are included.

As mentioned in the last questions we are going to use a competitor brand next year. I think the issues are trying to find and fix problems from the previous programer. The steep learning curve and lack of mobile and social sharing capabilities. Things that I like are the strength of the programing which comes with a trade off. The ease for those who don't know markup to make updates to the website. Clickability isn't the easiest and can be difficult to find the content that you are interested in. We will not be using it next year.

My experience with Clickability has been mostly positive but there are a few areas for improvement. It's generally easy to learn and use on a daily basis. I can move fast and do my job with speed with needed. But there is some clunky functionality with targeting and page building. My rating would be higher if some improvements were made.

Overall, it's a solid package with the potential to offer much functionality with appropriate resources applied. There are a few issues with the authoring interface that OpenText should address before its a top shelf authoring experience.

I found that some agents were better then others, usually you have an account representative and that I would consider level 1 support. To get really complex answers you need to talk with an engineer.

Our technical resources engage with OpenText TeamSite so I don't have direct experience. However, critical issues that we need help with seem to get the attention they deserve without issue. However, training and user resources for business owner roles are a bit lacking and some annoying issues with the authoring interface should be addressed sooner.

Overall, it was pretty seemless to switch the sites over.

I have mainly worked with open source content management systems like Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla!. Clickability is far more customizable and elegant to code things yourself. The main downfall of Clickabliity is the lack of community developed modules and plugins. If there were developers creating these of wide spread use, Clickability would be a must have for any business.

It offers more content editing features at a relatively low cost thus overall deployment is lower in cost. It has great customer support who are always there to support and answer to our needs thus making the process of deployment seamless at every stage and offering training for working with their product.

• I know a big positive is the fact that it is always-on. We are the leading news corporation for our state, and in many markets, nationwide. We pride ourselves on our strong ethics in the community and thus need to exude reliability to maintain the trust of these communities. Having a website fail periodically erodes that reliable perception.
• It has allowed different areas of the company to approach our team and work in a cohesive manner.

• We integrated with google analytics, now we have the proper comprehension of our audience data reception and behaviors - we've greatly improved on personalized marketing.
• Quick publication of content across the main digital channels.
• We run our digital campaigns swiftly.
• We've maintained our brand consistency for three years.
