This platform is complicated and using images is troublesome. In addition to its extensive documentation, the software still has some old features that need to be improved. The platform also has some restrictions on the type of data in the content structure. The price of dotCMS also makes its technical management more difficult.

This program mainly has a cloud-based system, which is easy to use and allows us to start publishing content and assets immediately. More, dotCMS Cloud enables us to build a powerful, engaging, and continuous customer experience across all our channel.

I like the flexibility that dotCMS provides. We use dotCMS both headless as well as the 'traditional' way. We had some trouble setting it up, because of our specific enterprise setup, but the customer service did a great job assisting us. We use dotCMS for several years now and we manage over 30 websites.

It was really challenging for us to update and I think it's because we do not have an out-of-the-box setup and requires some manually configuration. But again we always got the right support!

10 years ago we were still managing 70+ websites manually (html/css -> ftp). After we installed dotCMS we could finally let our marketing department edit the content.

Its flexibility. We can custom develop nearly anything we need.

Difficulty and time spent on upgrades. Not a straight-forward process.

We manage multiple sites across our global organization with dotCMS

Standard features are easy to use and workflow fits easily into most business's workflow.

Consuming webservices requires programing knowledge.

Extend more features and ability to remote office to publish local content and at the same time proof read them centrally.

Cloud hosting is very reliable and well supported

Has a bit of a learning curve and requires a good front-end developer to utilize fully

dotCMS supports multiple hosts for our organization, including an internal portal which requires user authentication through the SAML plugin.

DotCMS made possible to build very flexible websites with reusable components and templates which enables our content managers and designers to compose pages with different dynamic components in no time.

Some of the DotCMS entinties cannot be deployed through the pipelines which makes impossible to have a continues delivery, however, the push publishing helps on this process. The support and RCA in case of incidents can be improved further as it is already improved in the past year.

Creating headless content for mobile/desktop apps and flexible websites where content managers and designers can compose and create pages themself. DotCMS facilitates the review and publishing of new versions.

What we need first is a tool that let us create relational database collections without limit, with GraphQL to access our data. That's what we found and many more. There no limit with data collections , projects, entries and it's very powerfull regardless of its elasticsearch and caching capabilities. The onboarding was very easy, supported by great people.

We first try the server version which is very difficult to install on premise. The cloud version is a charm compare to it.

We can now upgrade a massive number of website and benefit from an integrated workflow to deploy our content. Thanks to the versioning of every entry that gather all changes and give us the chance to roll back innapropriate changes.

The build in functionality that dotcms offers in terms of the demo Project is one of the most helpful thing. Developing website using the demo as an example helps to ease the process.

There is not as much documentation on dotcms in terms of issues and errors. `
