Key User Insights
	Drupal	Progress Sitefinity
Considered Both Products	Drupal.org Chris Kerry Application Developer in Information Technology at Kansas State Historical Society (Museums & Institutions, 11-50 employees) Chose Drupal Drupal is community-backed making it more accessible and growing at a faster rate than Sitefinity which is a proprietary product built on .NET. Drupal is PHP-based using some but not all Symphony codebase. Updates for Drupal are frequent and so are feature adds. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Nizinsky Digital Marketing Manager in Marketing at Paychex (Human Resources, 10,001+ employees) Chose Drupal We evaluated many CMS systems and Drupal came out on top because of its flexibility and that its open source. We didn't always know everything we would be asked to build and Drupal allowed us to be nimble enough to do what needed to get done. We also liked that it handled … Incentivized Helpful? Alex Lada Tech Director in Information Technology at Liberty Concepts (Internet, 11-50 employees) Chose Drupal Drupal is not as powerful, extensible, or easy to use as Sitecore, but it is free, whereas Sitecore can be quite expensive. It offers a similar service as Umbraco, but from a PHP codebase. For clients that need a free CMS system, it is the clear choice for those with a PHP … Incentivized Helpful?	Progress Software Jochem Bökkers Sitefinity lead in Information Technology at World Health Organization (Government Administration, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity My main experience has been with Drupal and SharePoint besides Sitefinity. And while many people swear by Drupal because of its open-source nature, often the hidden TCO, its lack of intuitive usage and limited functional implementation (CMS for Web Publishing) has made us choose … Incentivized Helpful? Anthony Colli Senior Systems Analyst in Information Technology at UVM College of Medicine (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity The Sitefinity end user experience was much better than Drupal. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity The stability of Sitefinity and speed are better. The ease of content updates and template creation is by far superior and doesn't require any technical knowledge. Sitefinity doesn't force you into unplanned and forceful updates, like other software for content management that … Incentivized Helpful? Dan Joseph San Buenaventura IT Manager in Information Technology at Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity More opportunities and functionalities available. Incentivized Helpful? Rasheed Romain Digital Marketing Front-End UI/UX, & Email Marketing in Marketing at Crystal Cruises (Hospitality, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity Sitefinity is a better enterprise product. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity It stacks up very well and in many areas is a lot easier to use and develop. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity We were looking for a CMS that was net-based, as it was the preferred platform based on knowledge and experience. It was also something that we could see sourcing external support if needed. Much wider expert base. Incentivized Helpful? Paul Immediato Sr. Associate - Project Management and Information Technology in Information Technology at Trellist Marketing and Technology (Marketing and Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity All continent management systems are built to do basically, the same thing...manage content. When Trellist makes a CMS recommendation to a client, it is primarily based on the project requirements, how easy it is to customize the CMS, how intuitive it is for the content … Incentivized Helpful? Drew Pasler Project Manager in Information Technology at Primacy (Internet, 51-200 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity I don't think the Sitefinity stacks up against them, and i would no longer recommend Sitefinity after using the other mentioned CMS's Incentivized Helpful? Wayne Dixon developer in Information Technology at University of Arizona (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity Have looked into WordPress and Drupal but Sitefinity worked better for our application because of its visual studio integration and it seemed to be a much more robust product. Have used Telerik for years and Sitefinity fit in nicely. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity We thought it would be better, and especially better suited for .NET and Azure solutions. In the end, I would say Sitefinity is worse in nearly all aspects, including Microsoft technology integration. Incentivized Helpful? Joel Reimer Director of Web Strategy in Marketing at Otterbein University (Higher Education, 201-500 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity OmniUpdate, Cascade, Drupal, Wordpress Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity Custom development Drupal Kentico Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Kedinger Digital Marketing Director in Marketing at BBR Creative (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity I find that Sitefinity has the heart and soul of an open source CMS in that it is easy to use by everyone, but it definitely has the street cred in the enterprise market that it has a solid API and you can easily build custom applications on the platform. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity We selected sitefinity due to the price and Windows platform using .net. It was also, very configurable. Incentivized Helpful?
