HCL Digital Experience vs. Omny Studio

IBM Web Content Manager is well suited for intranet employee portals, websites which drive extensive marketing content, and e-commerce sites to provide product images and details. It cannot be used a document management system to store large volumes of data as it's purely a web content management system.

Incentivized

• Well designed web content management system with clearly defined relationships between the various web content objects such as sites, site areas, authoring templates, presentation templates, library resources, components, web content objects, etc.
• Can create robust content creation and publishing workflows with workflow stages and workflow actions
• Web Content can be rendered on multiple devices and browsers in a responsive and adaptive manner.

Incentivized

• Search is not working well. We could not get it work even we worked it with IBM support.
• Java Applet in Ephox editor is pain. You have to watch that you update your Java version correctly or You cannot edit anything. This might work somehow on enterprise environment with tight workstation configuration. I think that Java Applet editor is the worst part of IBM WCM
• IBM WCM needs lot of capacity on database and appserver.

IBM products always moves forward to adapt to new requirements and technologies. I have used versions 6, 6.1, 7 and 8 of IBM WCM, and I know IBM is ready to revamp the tool based on emerging needs, and still provide the capabilities to migrate your old system to the newer versions.

New versions has increased user experience facilitating usability.

We had some issues related with performing and the support was suitable and sucessful.

Implementation was successful due to Websphere application server used.

Each of the options had good points and bad points. Building a site with tight integration to HCL Commerce and SAP backend systems was just easier with HCL DX. Security is also a concern and HCL DX provided better fine-grained security across the board. HCL DX also allowed us to use multiple technologies and maintain a cohesive feel across everything.
