Considered Both Products	Progress Software Todd Knowlton CEO (Chief Executive Officer) in Corporate at Smooth Fusion, Inc. (Internet, 11-50 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity In addition to being a user of Sitefinity, my company is also a Sitefinity Partner.

After analyzing many content management systems, we decided that Sitefinity … Incentivized Helpful? Louie Kafka Frontend Web Developer in Engineering at IFMA Houston (Non-profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity WordPress has a huge community when it comes to custom plugins available. The ability to use functions.php files to add scripts makes it very easy to use and handle. Only issue is that WordPress lacks the ability to scale for a bigger site. Incentivized Helpful?

Nabeel Qaisar Technical Lead in Information Technology at Impact Proximity (Impact BBDO) (Banking, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity Umbraco is good for a campaign website, whereas Sitecore provides rich feature and is suitable for enterprise websites, but compared to Sitefinity it's more expensive. Sitefinity provides features which are suitable for many enterprise websites. It also has different types of … Incentivized Helpful? Darrell Wehlmann Principal in Marketing at Brand Tackle (Machinery, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity In terms of sophistication, scalability and the ability to achieve complex functionality - Sitefinity is the hands-down winner. In terms of sheer ease of use from a web content authoring perspective, Concrete5 is the hands down winner. In addition, Sitefinity doesn't compare on … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity Umbraco cannot store all content in a database like documents and images used in the site. Also, Sitefinity is more user-friendly. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity Sitefinity, in my opinion, follows current Microsoft practices which make developing it a breeze. Kentico has always seemed a bit lagging in this department. Incentivized Helpful? Paul Immediato Sr. Associate - Project Management and Information Technology in Information Technology at Trellist Marketing and Technology (Marketing and Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity All continent management systems are built to do basically, the same thing...manage content.

Rich Mephan Director of Research and Development in Research & Development at Peppermint Technology Ltd (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity Ease of use of Sitefinity was why we selected it even though it is quite expensive, though you have to weigh that up against the cost of expensive technical resource to keep your site maintained. Incentivized Helpful? Sam Rueby (MCP) Senior ASP.NET Web Application Engineer in Information Technology at Bross Group (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity We've used Sitecore in the past and the interface was very unintuitive and difficult to use.

Customers have requirements and Sitefinity is able … Incentivized Helpful? James Sperring Development Lead in Research & Development at Cobweb Solutions (Information Technology and Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Progress Sitefinity Much more enterprise class than WordPress or Umbraco, and a lot cheaper and seemingly user-friendly than Sitecore. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity Sitefinity combines the benefits of being easy to use, extremely customizable, and has great support. None of the other products we evaluated or have used in the past had everything we needed. Cost is comparable with other non open source products we evaluated, but the free … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity Using WordPress for a CMS is difficult. We've found WordPress is better suited for blogging and it's best to leave CMS to others. Trying to use WordPress as a CMS, although doable, often requires a lot of compromises. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Sitefinity During review of potential solutions, SItefinity won out against others because of extensibility and (esp.) the back-end experience for users. We are a dot net shop, so we limited out CMS options to .Net-based solutions. Incentivized Helpful?	Umbraco Alex Lada Tech Director in Information Technology at Liberty Concepts (Internet, 11-50 employees) Chose Umbraco CMS Umbraco provides the best bang-for-the-buck CMS option on a .NET platform for those that cannot afford Sitecore.
