Divi vs. Jadu CMS

Divi has cornered the market on a simple, straightforward WordPress theme that gives some major integrations and functions! Now that I've worked within it for years, I have a much better understanding of how robust a system it is. It takes some practice to get accustomed to but once you "get" it, it is so fun to use. I've shown so many small business owners how to use Divi and I feel that it is much easier to learn than other themes with functions that are controlled by coding or shortcodes. I could play in Divi all day, and some days I do, depending on which projects I am working on at the time

The power of Jadu is incomparable. The set of features provided by alternative solutions like Drupal just don't stand up to Jadu. Jadu is continuously working on development and adding new tools. They even recently started releasing bi-weekly updates. We find it to be perfect for managing large websites, even if you have thousands of pages.

• Front end builder easy to design
• Exportable and importable layouts and templates
• Integration with wordpress and many plugins
• Individual template builder to apply to certain post types
• Add on cloud to store and sync your own designs, code snippets
• Can create your own api licenses for different websites

• Reliability. The LAMP-powered server/software rarely has any problems and can handle hundreds of concurrent users without issue. It was developed with scalability in mind.
• Ease of Use. Our users find the backend GUI very easy to use. The layout is intuitive and follows the same format throughout the entire control panel.
• Powerful. Even if it doesn't do something you would like it to out of the box, the code is well formatted and easy to customize.

Incentivized

• Some advanced features need to be complemented with other paid plugins (e.g., attachments in contact forms)
• Certain Divi elements cannot be nested within other Divi elements (e.g., including an element within an accordion)
• Customizing the header is powerful, but making the most of it is more challenging than the rest of Divi's options

• The custom HTML editor can be frustrating
• Does not provide advanced controls and looks as well as some competitors
• Menus to add media content are litigious and require many clicks

We recently migrated to Jadu and will not be leaving any time soon. As we learn more and more about how to effectively utilize all the feature we are happier with the end result that the product provides. Our journey with Jadu is still growing but the future is looking bright.

Divi is overall a great tool to use - I think I would need to spend a little more time to dig into the tool to provide more long term feedback.

For the common user, Jadu is very easy to use and to understand. For the more complex user/administrator, there's a lot of power to be harnessed in HTML editing, creating widgets, editing styles, creating workflows, and other advanced features Jadu can work up for the customer.

Divi is a far better-looking and easier-to-learn system than Elements. While Elements has flexible columns and more compatibility with third-party systems (Crockoblock), it has a far steeper learning curve. Divi had a better pricing model and was easier to use to work at speed. We also felt it was far more client-friendly for self-editing.

I was not part of the team that evaluated other products during the CMS search. I did however use our old CMS from Luminis, which was not a great product. It's almost not fair comparing the two products because Jadu blew it out of the water. I do know that our company researched several companies and felt that Jadu was the company that would suit our needs the best.

• It's hard to quantify, but it's allowed me to create the face of my website, which currently receives tens of thousands of visits each month. This is largely thanks to Divi.
• It has allowed me to quickly design my own sales and product pages, without having to rely on third-party platforms.
• Divi's lock-in has made it difficult for me to explore other visual builders that might also be interesting for my website.
• Es difícil de cuantificar, pero me ha permitido crear la cara visible de mi web, que en este momento recibe decenas de miles de visitas cada mes. En gran parte es gracias a Divi.
• Me ha permitido diseñar en poco tiempo mis propias páginas de venta y de producto, sin necesidad de depender de espacios de terceros.
• El lock-in de Divi me ha hecho difícil explorar otros constructores visuales que también podrían ser interesantes para mi web.

• Jadu have forced us to spend more time figuring out new ways around it database. We have actually turn to updated json files by hand because of how bad the system is for widget.
• Jadu has cost us a lot of time just waiting for pages to load.
