7/10“Easy to use and customisable.”
7/10“Overall yes, a CMS designed for publishing, easy to get to grips with but also scalable (bespoke work is possible via plug-ins or custom code), so our uses are fairly well covered (with the exception of the design of one of our products – personality and company profiles – for which we have to go through an external solution) + good overlap with the newsletter sending tools.”
8/10“A customised CMS, with a lot of flexibility in the possibilities for developing new features, easy to find devs to do it, plug-ins that can save time… And a CMS that is natively web, not a CMS that claims to be able to handle print and web at the same time.”
9/10“The most widespread and most flexible of all CMSs.”
10/10“The best, in my opinion.”
10/10“Extremely adaptable and quick to get to grips with.”
8/10“Simple, stable, scalable.”
5/10“The base of our CMS is WP but we have built on top of it. So in the end it is bespoke. 80% programming, 20% plugins.”
8/10“Not much to complain about.”
7/10“There is no linked editorial calendar. It is not connected to print and does not allow print articles to be integrated automatically.”
5/10“The newsroom has taken to the CMS well, but we have performance issues with page loading, and we are using a fairly old version, which prevents any flexibility on the front end.”
7/10“Satisfied but technically heavy to manage.”
7/10“It is the most widespread for a media website.”
5/10“A really dated version and, above all, far too many overlays.”
1/10“Legacy –> Sirius integration.”
8/10“Easy access for the newsroom, natively web, integrated solution from hosting through to the front end.”
7/10“Our web agency's solution.”
4/10“Does the job but doesn't allow us to pull productivity reports, push the newsroom to write differently, or pool print and web.”
8/10“Pleasant, easy to handle and very agile for adding features.”
10/10“Easy to pick up and fast to execute without a tech team.”
8/10“Few points of comparison with the others, it's a default choice.”
