Agility CMS Reviews & Product Details

The fact that you have everything in the same dashboard, that you have a historial in every element you create which is really helpful and the overall security and performance of the site.

I think it is quite expensive to be honest, and sometimes it is hard to clone certain aspects like Dropdown links and stuff, I think that is one of the major problems I have right now. And the fact that overwriting stuff takes a lot of time to show in the public website.

I am handling a whole website dedicated to banking. I schedule updates which is amazing, and I really feel like staging links are so useful.

Agility is easy to use considering the power it offers, highly secure, and produces search-friendly code.

Some of the functionality is non-intuitive, especially if you're accustomed to a platform like WordPress. Also, being single-vendor rather than open-source, it doesn't offer the full range of functionality that can be added to a WP site.

Used Agility to manage multiple sites under the same corporate umbrella. The sites performed very well in search due to the SEO-friendly, fast-loading pages Agility produces.

We had weekly meetings to discuss any issues and to keep the project on track.

We were caught in a transition within our own department so no fault to Agility.

E-Commerce platfrom

CMS is a very easy platform to use and has no cracks. Scalability has no limits in Agility CMS is what makes it easy to develop and implement millions of ideas

The only think that I don't like is the Rich text module, its not easy to work with that.

Los beneficios son faciles de medir porque nuestro sitio web esta consultado pour milles de personas y podemos ver el valor agregado en la cantidad de entradas vendidas. Estas medidas son una gran ayuda para poder tomar las decisiones correctas. Todo eso gracias a une aplication web y a CMS.

The user interface is definitely the all-star of the Agility platform

Managing multiple languages is good, but could be better

Designing and launching new web properties. Having a central way to manage multiple sites save a ton of time.

The functionality and reliability of the Agility CMS is definitely an advantage for custom websites that publish a lot of content on a daily basis like our own. There's a reasonably wide range of options for tags and SEO as well as listing and ordering blog content, and the rich text editor is quite good. To be able to travel anywhere in the world and still post content is definitely a plus as well. The Agility CMS is like an out-of-the-box solution for custom websites that do not look like a typical Wordpress or Drupal site. In the absence of a large online community of users like Wordpress, I believe Agility is headed in the right direction by posting more instructional content and user information online.

The customer support has been slow in the past but they did try to address glitches with custom websites. They now partner with a third-party vendor for support that we have yet to use. The lack of plug-ins, such as a Google News publisher, has meant that we have to delay some implementations until we can afford the cost of the vendor.

I believe that the Agility CMS helped Canadian Accountant to build readership quickly because it was recognized as a trustworthy news website immediately and accepted into Google News within just six months of being launched, despite limited staff and financial resources.

Agility is a local Toronto-based company that makes scheduling calls, meetings, and visits very easy. They have a quick team that is very responsive and agile. CMS is very user-friendly.

There was initially a few hiccups when website development lived within Agility; but with the clear separation – we now see great success working with Agility, along with other development partners to work collaboratively towards goals.

Making our website more dynamic, responsive and visually pleasing. As we grow the scale and scope of our business, the team/platform is flexible for growth.

I really like the performance and the flexibility to attach content. The way to change the layout or add different modules is really cool

They have to work more on the Media Gallery.

With the new web site we really changed the Company branding and we have more information and performance with our tickets online.

Agility provides aplatform that allows for web content to be deployed and managed with ease

The learning curve for users coming from a traditional CMS can be steep

The lack of options for using a CMS without the heavy PHP monolith style backend

Setting up content definitions and modules is easy. Shared content is great when you want to access a list in multiple areas/ways. Having models generated to make things more strongly-typed is nice in comparison to Umbraco's model.Value<type>("property")

For my company a cloud-based CMS is fine, but for my side work I find them all (not just Agility) to be a bit pricey. Sometimes content syncing fails with no clear reason as to why. Since multiple environments share the same instance making a change can break production. I realize this is common with a lot of cloud-based CMS'.

Empowering customers to not only modify their own page content, but more robust content like program catalogues, job postings, news, blogs, etc.

Accessibility and cross functionalities between content and presentation.

Performance and lack of growth functionalities.

Digital asset are being managed efficiently. Proactively marketing high-quality content while efficiently managing time and process.

The features are well-stacked; we had no issues integrating into our backend and creating a seamless experience for our marketing team to create and preview on the fly.

Their support team was prompt with answering questions, but I felt that the documentation was not as robust as it could have been.

We have set up a dynamic environment for our marketing team to spin up campaigns and events with ease; we were able to completely customize their dashboard and interface as they needed, and they make use of the copious analytics Agility provides.

How we could integrated content with our shopping cart and POS system

The back end is very complicated and can be somewhat cumbersome for end users

We have driven significant change to our ability to sell somewhat complex products, deals or packages

We inherited Agility through an acquisition. It was easy to pick up and manage out of the box.

If I was to make one suggestion it would be to include a directory component.

Our editors are able to update and maintain their own website saving the IT dept. time and money.

Publishing is quick, and the user interface is friendly for folks who are not technical. You can drag and drop components and there is validation when things don't work.

It can be difficult to manage assets, it's helpful that they're hosted within Agility but a bit messy if you have tons of files.

We are able to frequently and easily update content without the use of a developer or requiring a release

Customer support and senior technical engineers are very accessible

Legacy .NET platform, no prebuilt modules or integrations

Enterprise websites with complex ecommerce or brand challenges

It manages many needs when you need to manage your online platforms including point of sales

It is super expensive compared to competitive alternates.

Website publishing and CRM features.

Fortunately, I have a great team of developers who have modified the user experience and other end-user processes to streamline the CMS. We have custom-developed webpage modules, internal team processes and documentation to help support end-users in their day-to-day work.

Our particular product setup has occasional roadblocks and hitches that require higher-level web developers to step in and conduct their investigation. As a product user of Agility, it is difficult to determine whether these issues can be attributed to the CMS alone. It is often described as in combination with server issues, CDN issues, caching issues, or any combination of those above. Our bi-hourly website rebuild cycle hinders our ability to publish web updates with precision timing. In particular to our situation, our website modules are all unique and a manner that requires practice and familiarization to understand how they function and what output it creates in staging.

Agility CMS is allowing us to host a website that contains, organizes and regularly updates a vast amount of information for the public. In addition, we can maintain SEO best practices through Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics integration.

The Agility software has made it somewhat easier to make changes across the board. The shared content helps take away some of the pain points when updating content. The dashboard is easy to use and easy to find things. A basic user could make updates with ease.

There are some tasks that are still non-existent or in their infancy. A media item cannot be updated unless the new item has the exact same name. Exporting of any content for translation purposes is very basic. The rich text editor could be better. The transition between languages for some items is clunky.

Able to make changes quicker and more streamlined.

This CMS seems fairly flexible, with the ability to add add any field you need, and integrate cloud media galleries, which is useful to pull in our multimedia elements. The approvals system makes it easy for us to set up a process of content creation, editing and publishing. The formatting is easy to use, and graphics, once templated, look great.

There are a lot of things that are not automatic where you would expect them to be. I mostly use this CMS to maintain a consumer-facing events calendar and we are still working out bugs three weeks in. Currently, our multiday events must have a box checked that they are reoccurring, even if multiple days are selected for the event. There are a lot of illogical redundancies like that within this CMS. You'd also think a newer system like this would have a better AI to help you catch issues, like a URL that doesn't match the title, or if you leave a field blank on accident. Where's Clippy when you need him?

We just switched to using this CMS for our entire consumer website, to give it an updated look, as well as to move past our old dinosaur of a platform. I used to have to chisel away at our HTML on pages to make things look uniform, but this CMS at least does a great job with that.
