Chose Jadu CMS
Jadu is miles behind these and many other CMSs. The others are much more up to date with their code and ease of use. The ability to customize other CMSs is much easier and the code structure actually makes sense. Jadu was selected because it had a portal out of the box.

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 …

Compared to Wordpress, Jadu provides excellent rights and access management. It can be fined tuned at any level to get the options right to just what you are looking for. It is not quite as user friendly or able to be updated as Wordpress but may be better for larger …

Jetpack is going to be a contender in the future, however, at this point in time they are missing some features that ManageWP includes and does very well. These include automatic backups and a robust migration module. Though the UI in Jetpack is a little cleaner and prettier, …

ManageWP is definitely the best in class product for WordPress website management. There are other tools such as InfiniteWP that do similar things, but don't have as complete an offering. Other options like WPEngine are also for hosting and we are not interested in that …
Chose ManageWP
Prior to ManageWP, we utilized InfiniteWP, a free (with paid extensions), self-hosted alternative. We found the interface to be unwieldy, and the paid extension pricing to be a bit confusing. The headache of maintaining the software and server infrastructure to run the …

User Testimonials
Jadu CMSManageWP
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Cons
  • The custom HTML editor can be frustrating
  • Does not provide advanced controls and looks as well as some competitors

  • The reports could be prettier, more templates in order to avoid having to customize for each client so heavily.
  • It would be nice to see if recommended plugin updates are actually production and not beta versions.

Usability
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.

It's very straightforward for basic use, but less you dig in more for advanced use. Seems like it would be approachable to the average person.

Return on Investment

  • Jadu has cost us a lot of time just waiting for pages to load.
