Sitecore Experience Platform Reviews: 3.9/5 — Good for the Price

Sitecore XP is a platform which holds the key to unlock a business's potential and increasing engagement with customers

The cost associated with Sitecore does effect my customers ability to maximise the platform. Often they become excited about using the platform only to discover it is far above what they expected in terms of cost.

The ability to better understand a users flow throughout the website and the decisions that are being made before a conversion is reached.

It provides OOB features for creating multilingual and multidomain websites with ease of managing digital content and personalizing the site. It offers OOB anlytics features to track end user behaviour and email experience managers to engage with users and for running promotions. Sitecore provides Custom indexing feature using SOLR,Lucene and Azure for site-wide search and OOB internal search with language options. It offers customization for multi-domain and multilingual sites with language versioning options. Sitecore EXM has features like customer campaigning and triggering email on basis of action completion.

There is nothing much to dislike about Sitecore. Only thing i would like mention that some of the features may cause slowness to CMS over a period of time which can be minimized by upgrading infrastructure.

Its provides such a platform ao that business users and content authors can easily update and manage content on site. The marketing control panel gives access to track active users of the site and their behaviour. It helps in creating enterprise level ecommerce sites with unlimited product storage and item bucket option to manage product catalog.

It is pretty user friendly and still very robust! Most of the people in our building are older and they are still able to use it without any problem! It integrates with a lot of the other softwares we use too.

Since it is so robust, sometimes there are certain segments that I don't even utilize. I'm not saying it's clunky, just sometimes I have to scroll through things.

Sitecore Experience Platform takes our web presence to the next level and allows us to have multiple users working on different projects at the same time! It also works great for targeted marketing!

Thoroughly enjoy using Sitecore more so than others. We have switched from another platform to this one and so far we have liked it. We are currently going through a content migration that will be going on for a little while.

Sometimes loading time is a bit long. The screen will freeze and I will have to reload. This can be frustrating. I usually log out and give it some time and try again a bit later. Hopefully this is something that will improve over time.

Problems that are being solved include innovative marketing techniques and operations. We believed we could achieve a lot by using Sitecore and thought it was our best bet. This system is a lot more efficient.

SItecore is an excellent content management sustem that makes managing web content easy and streamlined

Sitecore can be a bit more on the tech side.

Creating streamlined and luxurious experiences via our website for prospective and returning guests.

The latest Sitecore update is easy to navigate, visually more appealing, and more intuitive than the older versions. There are also some nice new features that allow us to do things like A/B test more easily.

Nothing autosaves and it ruins my life sometimes.

Very easy to manage websites, add features or permissions to individual pages, tagging content helps in our website's searchability, etc.

Endless possibilities with what you want to create with it. CMS, CRM, etc. Provides robust solutions and ways to create your content.

Not as intuitive as other CMS tools, very expensive solution compared to other tools I've used.

Being able to manage and update content without going through the vendor who created it. CRM and lead tracking.

I like the robust nature of the tool. The ability to customize or use out of the box. In addition, the Customer Experience module which is able to personalize content & provide uiq1ue analytics. With the workflow module, we segment localization to the countries, they update content & the workflow send to the webmaster for accuracy of brand and template presentation.

I dislike the separation of the marketing vs. the developer side. In order to make template adjustments one must be a developer to get the manuals. This demands a test for .net.

We had a brochure type of sharepoint website and converted to Sitecore. It has the marketing ability for content management, easy for localized countries, personalization, analytics for personalization, and responsive. We are now a lead & education driving website.

As someone without much experience using the program, I find it relatively easy for word processing and editing purposes.

I would love to learn more about the code area and using more aspects of the CRM than just edit and preview.

Lack of organization is not an issue because everything is organized by page very easily.

I love the way sitecore is organized, and I especially love the easy to use dashboard in sitecore 8. The experience editor allows users who are not technically inclined to easily manage their content on a page by page basis, and the content manager itself lets users delve into their content a little deeper if they so choose. Sitecore seems very customizable too, which is a great feature for websites with very specific requirements or needs. The marketing area of sitecore, when utilized properly, can allow for content to be switched out due to certain parameters and experience editor allows a user to perform a/b variant testing which can be quite useful. Overall, there's a lot to love about sitecore, but it may be overkill for one's needs based on what kind of business and website they're looking to run. Have I mentioned sitecore's security role flexibility? There's a task flow that can be customized for creating content, so that a user who creates or edits content can be prevented from making that content live until an administrator approves. I've seen this utilized with larger companies who have strict review policies in place regarding content. Additionally, their versioning has only gotten stronger with each new version of sitecore. Versions of content pages in sitecore can be useful for restoring old content, seeing where content went wrong, but also for having different language versions of content for multilingual sites.

The price is definitely a con for sitecore, as CMSes such as joomla can be acquired for free. We also offer services for Umbraco and Kentico since they can be purchased for reduced rates, for our smaller clients that don't need something as robust and inclusive as sitecore. I'm also not a fan of sitecore buckets, as it feels incredibly disorganized and forces the user to rely heavily on the search functionality within sitecore to find content.

The company that I work for offers sitecore designed and developed websites, so we are often solving our client's problems rather than our own. We utilize sitecore for all kinds of sites, from hugely content driven webpages to third party integrations. Sitecore is very flexible, so it can be used to solve a lot of different goals or problems a client may be facing.
