RWS Tridion Sites Reviews & Insights

We're using Tridion (SDL Tridion Content Management System) for more than 200 websites to serve our customers. Tridion enables us to create and deliver contentful websites in 15 different languages. From our point of view personalization features and ready to use templates facilitate content creation process, even non-technical people can easily experience content creation and delivery throughout the aforementioned product. Besides, blueprint hierarchy paves the way of to manage such large scale content that our company owns.

Tridion is a beneficial product that eases content experience including digital content, multiple languages through the markets.

We use Tridion for our public websites, mobile apps. The problems solved include content reusability, blueprinting, multi-channel platform usage. We got quite a bit of customization which product support in terms of deploying / GUI extensions / Events code etc., Also got complex publishing (both static and dynamic publishing to name a few) which is taken care of Tridion sites 9.5 Our contacts of professional services, customer services address any issues we face during our implementation/post live.

Blueprinting model is a big plus. The structure is defined, templates, components, schemas are set up at a global level and shared across inherited items. This means creating once, re-using it in many places, (localize them as and when necessary) is a big plus and well suited. if the company does not have localization requirements and also one or two sites, then the product may be a bit too much as it is more of an enterprise edition.

We use Tridion for our public sites. It has really delivered! The problems this product has helped to solve include, content reusability, publishing once and using many, flexibility, the use of connectors, the forms plug-in, and so much more. Our contacts Jessica Roland and Wiegert Tierie are great and responsive to our needs (e.g., support, using a forms plug-in, graphQL, etc.). We escalate any issues that come up and they are quick to resolve.

Love the product and I really like how we use it for public sites. The only negative aspect is that it is just hard to find Tridion devs that understand the tool, grasp .net, react, and understand the blueprint, etc.

We use Tridion Docs to create and manage our technical documentation. Implementing Tridion Docs has allowed us to scale our operation and keep pace with the growth of the business. We've successfully increased productivity, improved consistency, and reduced translation costs. Tridion has played a large role in enabling these successes.

Tridion is well suited for creating and maintaining tech content. The Draft Space component is well suited for capturing content from SMEs. Tridion Pub Manager is well suited for teams new to DITA and CCMS.

Compassion International utilizes SDL Tridion Sites to manage our web presence, the content for our e-commerce interface, and other content needs throughout our NGO. We have built a very robust web solution for our constituents through Tridion including my account, checkout, letter writing, and other robust capabilities for our constituency. We have been using Tridion longer than SDL even owned the solution. And at first, SDL saw it as an also ran product. But have, over the past few years begun to give it the emphasis in SDL's stable of tools that it deserves. Tridion is one of the most important marketing capabilities and solutions.

This totally depends. If the individual asking has a large business that needs a comprehensive solution that includes a multi-national platform, multi-lingual needs, and they need something that they are willing to invest in heavily, then SDL Tridion Sites is fantastic. But for most mid-level organizations, it is way way too complicated and heavy of a lift to setup and support. We succeeded with it, but it was through serious effort and investment.

SDL Tridion is used for corporate website maintenance and is updated by IT and ER groups. It allows us to add new products to the catalog and keep our company's information and news up to date. All work is done internally. All components and pages are created by our company internally, and all the assets are provided by external authors and graphic designers.

SDL Tridion is good for large-scale sites that use a lot of pages based on templates. Specifically, it is great for extensive online catalogs. It also good for creating microsites. For the simpler scenarios that require all pages to have different layouts and stylesheets associated with them, using Tridion may be too much of a hassle.

SDL Tridion is being used across the majority of our organization for our marketing websites. We implemented it as a multi-site platform, making it easier to have localization and mass publishing/inheritance options.

I think it is really well suited for users who have multiple sites that need to inherit from a parent site, and want easy mass publishing options with the opportunity to also localize/personalize content to a lower level site.

Tahzoo are premier implementors of SDL Tridion. Our clients have complex and unique Content Management problems and SDL Tridion solves that. The blueprinting feature allows complete reuse of content and templates between web site. It is unique to SDL Tridion. There are also many other modules which comes with SDL Tridion that allows organizations to personalize content to specific users on web sites as well.

SDL Tridion is very useful for large corporation which have a number of different websites under their umbrella. They may have many small websites which may need some content from the main site. With the blueprinting model, this is easily achieved. It is also good for translations and multilingual websites since the same blueprinting principle applies.

Tridion was used to support a former client, we assisted implement and manage their CMS platform. Their challenges were managing a content hierarchy, preview/publish content targets and needing support for a technical solution integrating various technologies.

Tridion is a true enterprise CMS, if your organization is well suited for the cost and the ability to capitalize on managed content and make use of the various tools available then its a great investment. Key questions would be size of organization, budget, licenses, etc.

We use Tridion extensively for both our company intranet and public sites. I find Tridion a very effective and efficient Content Management System. There may be some areas where it can be made better, but for our purposes, it's doing a good job.
Tridion is used globally by our content owners as they build their country websites, in their own language, using the same branding.

Tridion will do its job for simple, less interactive websites. However, if you're looking into creating sites that are more interactive, more personalized and transactional based interaction with visitors, using it can be very challenging. Lots of coding involved, on top of the templating work.
