Vorteile

With Kentico you can build nice responsive websites. I really like the ease of creating different versions of the content and the fact that it is possible to copy-paste portions of the layout. IT does not take much time to start using it as a content manager.

Nachteile

If you are not familiar with the system enough you may easily make some drastic mistakes (one of my colleagues deleted a part of what he though was just one page template and changed all the pages depending on that layout).

Vorteile

As an agency, we've been implementing Kentico Xperience for many years. It's a mature DXP that combines content management, digital marketing (automation and other services), and commerce, in the cloud or on-premise.

The platform is now .NET 6 (formerly Core), which means it meets the needs of enterprise businesses and can be integrated with just about anything. This is a huge positive for us. It means we can recommend an all-in-one platform that integrates deepling with existing systems and can drive the organisation's content, marketing, and experience needs.

We find easy to communicate the benefits to our clients, which is a good indicator of the platform's capabilities. It's easy to use, easy to develop for, and scalable - all things clients need.

Nachteile

Because we've been working with the platform for an extended period, our familiarity is exceptional, and there are very few negative points. Kentico's 24/7 support is exceptionally fast when an issue occurs and works with the team to find a solution. A detailed roadmap and release schedule also overcomes any feature shock, allowing for planning and preparation, both technically and when managing client expectations.
