    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    I've used a lot of content management systems, like Sitecore, WordPress, everything. I think this one is the easiest for different teams to use. So between marketing, customer service, and IT, everyone from different backgrounds can use this.

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Better multi-tenant solution with easier + more flexible authoring experience. .Net based and we are .net shop. Overwhelming client interview feedback was that Optimizely Content Management System was right fit for our use cases.

    I think Optimizely has the best set of tools synthesized together to form a full product suite.

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    It's a good way to diversify, however it all depends on personal liking of architect which CMS framework to use. However I personally like Optimizely CMS as it's easy to learn and develop.
    Incentivized
    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    I think Optimizely is better because of its product roadmap and proven history of innovation. The product and support teams are easier to work with than other competitors I've used. Great customer support.

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Preference in .Net and the limited functionality of saas offerings like Kentico has kept us on Episerver. Investigation is constant in searching for a solid .Net core solution that is headless first, and provides a similar admin experience to Episerver with a site tree …

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Sitecore is leaps and bounds ahead as far as personalization and profiling are concerned. They also have much more extensible publishing options. But we know (and many clients know) that it is a.) Expensive and b.) Incredibly time consuming to implement.

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    I've only briefly reviewed Sitecore and Crownpeak as a comparison for episerver, and after reading other reviews that I mostly agreed with I came to the same conclusion about episerver. Their flaws are there but not something that is holding them back more than any other …

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Ultimately it depends on needs. Price point for Episerver can be similar to Sitecore and is definitely less than Adobe. I think Episerver is strong because the product isn't looking to replace powerful systems (email, etc.) which is why their add-ons are so successful. Sitecore …

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Epi is cheaper. But very comparable functionality.

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    I believe that EPiServer is here to stay; and, we routinely see them competing against other similar .NET technology platforms in this space (IE: Sitecore & Ektron). Experis has been following the Gartner Magic Quadrant and Forrester Wave reviews; and, EPiServer is well …

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    End of day, the real boon of Optimizely Content Management System is not simply the management of the content, but the speed of both deployment and performance across the board. Significant difference between the old SiteCore CMS we previously used in just about every single …

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Episerver outranks these products in most cases. There are some functions in each product that you would love in Episerver but when you sum it up Episerver is the greatest :)

    Chose Sitecore Digital Experience Platform
    The XM cloud technology stack is ahead of the platforms and its data structure is easier to learn.

    Chose Sitecore Digital Experience Platform
    Other tools lack one or the other and fail to provide a comprehensive best experience for everyone - content authors, marketers and developers. Sitecore comes with out of the box authoring host, best content authoring and WYSIWYG editing experience and much more.
