OpenText went through an RFP process against IBM Content Management back in 2012. OpenText not only met our business and technical requirements, but we asked both vendors to show a use case and OpenText provided an extensive solution that IBM could not. Also the content …

I was not involved in the selection process of this product as that decision was made at a higher level. Though, as previously stated, security and scalability were definitely some of the top factors from the limited amount of interactions I had with those making the decision.
Chose WordPress VIP
Since I have been in my position at Chive Media Group, we have not evaluated alternatives.
Chose WordPress VIP
Used custom websites served through AWS. Those are more complicated to manage and require a series of well built scripts and maintenance. They have their purpose but using WordPress makes it easier for other non-technical stakeholders.
Chose WordPress VIP
VIP can be a better option for sites with much higher volumes of traffic and more complex security requirements.
Chose WordPress VIP
It would be fair to say that both are superb products that follow through on promises and have very strong marketing and teams behind them. For truly enterprise organisations though, one would be tempted to recommend WordPress VIP at this moment in time, but one to keep an eye …

We use DigitalOcean for smaller-scale sites, and the level of support, reliability and seamless scalability is nowhere near the same level as WordPress VIP.

Chose WordPress VIP
In the competition noted WordPress VIP is the only true enterprise dedicated to WordPress hosting. Their hosting framework is 100% geared up for providing enterprise organizations with the infrastructure needed.

For our usage, I would say they are all about the same. The support offered by VIP put it over the top.

Our team manages 4 different brands' websites and before WordPress VIP we were using multiple different hosts including Dreamhost and AWS. These were convoluted and didn't offer the enterprise features for our organization that WP VIP was capable of. We also considered …

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.

WordPress VIP really changed the game when it comes to WordPress CMS and Content Management. A one-stop shop for all our client's business needs. We are focusing on Content Management instead of technicalities. The big advantage is the security features covering all recent vulnerabilities that any WordPress developer/user wastes lots of precious time fixing/updating. Performance-wise, WordPress VIP is definitely up there. We’ve been doing lots of optimization work over the last few years. Every client wants to score 100. With WordPress VIP we decreased the time spent on optimization significantly and now feel confident with taking more performance optimisation work than we did before. Lastly, maybe the most important for every business is the support quality. WordPress VIP runs a superb support team with phenomenal knowledge and expertise. Quick to respond and solves issues here and now. It is definitely recommended.

Usability
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.

Support Rating
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.

There wasn't a single problem that wouldn't be solved by the WordPress VIP support team, and I had quite a few questions during the process. They were always available and provided in-depth expertise on topics I was interested in. I not only consulted problems with them but also advised on future actions - in general, I'd highly recommend getting in touch.

  • By migrating our mobile applications to Wordpress's APIs, we could remove a large portion of our technical infrastructure, which was hosted on Google Cloud, along with an additional database and a lot of business logic used to support data transformation and ingestion.
