Poor experience with our current platform - very outdated and lacking in any real development roadmap

Poor experience for marketeers with current platform and very difficult/complex for those with limited knowledge

Magnolia has helped to unlock both of these two key areas

"Magnolia CMS - simple to use, rapid development and plenty of enterprise built-in features"
What do you like best about Magnolia?

Magnolia offers a great authoring experience for content writers and thanks to that the road to happy and satisfied customers is already started. For developers, it is quite easy to get familiar with magnolia development environment.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

If you are not an experienced developer it is very difficult to start and do things in the right way. Even the community is growing in the past years there is still a lot of space for growing.

What problems is Magnolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Magnolia has plenty of enterprise features already built-in like workflow and personalization. Thanks to that we are able to resolve requirements that are quite standard and required for today's modern websites. PUR(public user registration) module is a very useful and helpful module for creating a login/register form if necessary. Managing roles, groups and users is another thing that magnolia already has simplified.

"the best and stable CMS platform that I know"
What do you like best about Magnolia?

User-friendly platform. Fast, scure and stable. It is a very good product. I recommend you.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

The absence of an administrative interface and the lack of process details are notable limitations of Magnolia. Integrating an administrative interface can be a challenging and intricate undertaking. Upgrading from previous versions can be costly and time-consuming, particularly due to compatibility issues between certain editions. Removing plugins can also pose difficulties. Additionally, managing Magnolia CMS requires handling two separate datasets—one for shared folders and another for remaining content. The administrative interface itself is considered complex and challenging to navigate. Furthermore, the initial installation process of Magnolia CMS may appear intricate and demanding.

What problems is Magnolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Magnolia is a highly intuitive content management system (CMS) that excels in creating and advancing contemporary websites and applications. It enables seamless integration of our products or selective components.

"Best content management tool"
What do you like best about Magnolia?

Magnolia is a powerful and robust content management system that helps create custom apps and helps store the data in those apps. It is secure and provides multisite support. It is an open-source platform that provides cloud storage and multi-level security. It also prevents any data loss and due to the presence of a web-based app, it is easier to access it from anywhere. My favourite feature of Magnolia is multi-site management as it helps to manage multiple sites in one place without any hassle. This saves a lot of time for developers as well as solution architects. Another feature I love is it provides smooth content migration which makes the whole process very efficient and hassles free. It also provides multilingual support which basically helps in the wider reach of our product.

What do you dislike about Magnolia?

Magnolia user interface is complex to understand which can make its customer lose interest in using it. Magnolia must have a discussion forum to clear the doubts of their clients and to have a healthy discussion about new features and their usage. Also while using angular js with magnolia the whole process becomes very slow.

Recommendations to others considering Magnolia:

Magnolia is a content management system or platform and it is best suited for managing different sites and providing the clients with an option to modify the website. It helps in the multi-site setup which basically helps developers as well as solution architects to maintain all sites in one place. This tool has a speciality to handle heavy integration.

What problems is Magnolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest business problem was assembling sites, so by using this CMS tool, assembling the sites became easier and helped provide the client with an opportunity to modify some sort of functions. It has improved the overall efficiency and availability.
