Umbraco CMS
Chose Umbraco CMS
We preferred Umbraco because it is built with .NET, and most of our team members have proficiency in .NET. Umbraco is open-source so it was free, we could deploy it anywhere - on-premise or cloud. Umbraco had all features which we needed - SEO support, multi-lingual support, …
Chose Umbraco CMS
Someone else selected before I came on board but I was open-minded and willing to give it a try.
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.
Chose Umbraco CMS
Umbraco's templating is far superior than WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, but it's update process is WAY behind those platforms. The release schedule of Umbraco is way to often and most releases are to fix something missed in the previous release and not an improvement or new …
Chose Umbraco CMS
  • The learning curve to develop a web application is very short. The time to market is then insignificant.
  • Umbraco is free and open source.
Chose Umbraco CMS
We chose Umbraco because of their technology, and it was better than our previous CMS, Orchard, which was too complicated even for programmers. Orchard was very good but to develop something it required a really strong knowledge of this framework. In Umbraco it seems to be …
Chose Umbraco CMS
We previously used Wordpress, however this was not easy to use, it was a complicated system and was limited in what we could achieve, there was a big outlay in buying bolts on and ensuring the system was safe. We found we where spammed loads, we tried to make it work however …
Chose Umbraco CMS
Both are comparable. We selected Umbraco CMS because it used .NET instead of PHP. I would recommend choosing the CMS that your staff and technical people will be the most comfortable with.
Chose Umbraco CMS
Umbraco provides the best bang-for-the-buck CMS option on a .NET platform for those that cannot afford Sitecore. It is much friendlier to use than Ektron, is free to use, has commercial grade plugins that are not overly expensive, and provides the functionality that most …
Chose Umbraco CMS
Umbraco vs WordPress
Umbraco has more flexibility and customization options, but less features, reliability/stability, and community support.
WordPress offers less customization for data and content, but it is immensely more stable, has better features /plugins, and includes an …
Chose Umbraco CMS
There is not really an alternative when it comes to CMS based on ASP.Net (MVC4 with Razor). There are a few frameworks, like Booststrap; however framework is not content management system.
I will compare it to Drupal, because the second one is well known. Against Drupal, …

The collection of multiple reports from different integrated tools and the ability to provide effective predictive analytics and the real-time data results production capability is profitable. Social media platform integration functionalities allow the user to easily manage various marketing content across different platforms and the content accessibility is amazing.

Umbraco is well suited for websites that are looking to do a wide range of activities that require complex technoligies. An example of this is a company with several different products or services. Umbraco would be overkill for simple sites that are mostly static. It is also difficult to find developers who have Umbraco experience, as it's market share is not all that high

Cons
  • Update can be improved
  • Interface configuration
  • Analyzing multiple gathered data content
Read full review
  • Migration of data between servers. There are tools that you can pay for that help facilitate this, but like any CMS system, there are still some tricks to getting it to work correctly.
  • Running as a Web Project instead of a Web Site. Umbraco does not run compiled code, but instead compiles it on the fly. I find this to cause some performance issues that would otherwise be resolved with a compiled code base.

Usability

Umbraco CMS effectively addresses enterprise content management needs. It's quite mature .NET based CMS, standing out as a leader among its competitors. Websites built with Umbraco are blazing fast. Extensive customization capabilities, and user-friendly content publishing interface makes it an ideal choice for businesses looking for a mature CMS solution.

Performance
No answers on this topic
Working in the admin panel (adding / reviewing / editing content) is very slow. The public facing site speed is dependent on what the pages are doing and how well the code was written (whether it is optimized for speed).

Spend the time to wireframe the content structure prior to diving in. This helps speed the process of implementation and it serves as documentation for end users.

We previously used WordPress, however this was not easy to use, it was a complicated system and was limited in what we could achieve, there was a big outlay in buying bolts on and ensuring the system was safe. We found we where spammed loads, we tried to make it work however after a year we decided to leave WordPress behind. The company did evaluated Adobe but the dev team decided that Umbraco was the best tool to meet our own needs.
