    Considered Both Products
    Optimizely
    Chose Optimizely Content Management System

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    It's a more holistic solution for our clients, offers the security they crave with the ease of use

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Code first approach over Siteore.. Umbraco is a good alternative for those who can't afford an Optimizely license.

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Good value for the cost.

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    It is great, definitely better than Sitecore
    Incentivized
    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Much easier to use and more developer friendly
    Incentivized
    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Both Umbraco and Optimizely have a lot of common denominators, but the main difference from a development perspective is how content types are implemented in code in Optimizely vs. defining content types in the Admin UI in Umbraco, where Optimizely has the upper hand, making it …
    Incentivized
    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Optimizely Content Management System is better supported, but more expensive. The support is what we needed and the possibility of having direct access to the company that develops the product.
    Incentivized
    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Optimizely CMS better handles large scale websites offering personalization and editing content in bulk out of the box but is not free/cheap.
    Incentivized
    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Out of those listed, only Umbraco is applicable as it can be directly compared to Optimizely CMS (with the other 3 being Headless solutions, which should instead be compared with Optimizely Headless, which I haven't worked with)
    Umbraco offers a really visual experience and far …
    Incentivized
    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Umbraco is a similar product that does a lot of the same things well and has a big community behind it when you need help with something. However Optimizely Content Cloud feels more refined to work with, plus the official support is sometimes a godsend when you can't find the …

    Chose Optimizely Content Management System
    Among all the CMS products that I've tested, Episerver had a stronger coupling with an e-commerce product (Episerver Commerce), and that was the main reason we went with it. Besides that, the main reasons why I wouldn't go with each, would be mainly:

    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 Optimizely Content Management System
    Umbraco is quite close to my heart. I've done lots of CMS implementations in Umbraco, done a little bit of Sitecore, done some WordPress. Well, it's a more refined commercial product that's more mature. So Umbraco for example, that's an open source free content management …

    Umbraco
    Chose Umbraco CMS
    The performance of Umbraco is as good as Episerver. The back office in Umbraco is cleaner and more intuitive than Episerver. Sitecore is a good CMS for large projects, but the learning curve for developers and editors is steep.
