Agility CMS

Vorteile

I really like that it allows you to manage all the content in one place and its distribution to different touchpoints is very easy. It provides an intuitive creative experience that enables non-technical staff to seamlessly make changes. It offers the option of using any programming language, generating a lot of flexibility in the creative process.

Nachteile

This is a very robust and flexible platform, the only downside is that it can be overwhelming for new users to handle its wide variety of features.

Vorteile

The ease and speed of updating our website makes CMS worth the price. Coming from a custom CMS, we now have the ability to add several users and cross train on updating our web properties. Additionally, the video support allows us to engage more fully with our website visitors.

Nachteile

I have been disappointed with the customer service support from Agility CMS. Our website was built by a third party developer and after it was built was handed over to our organization to manage. As issues have arisen, we have reached out to Agility to help with issues and we are consistently told that we need to work with our web development partner to solve issues which means more financial investment.

Vorteile

It's very easy to use.
Copying saves a lot of time.

Nachteile

1- Technical issues.
2- Slow publishing time
3- No preview feature
4- No training videos or any other sources that can help

Vorteile

- Provides a variety of tools for organizing, managing, and publishing material.- Access restrictions and workflow management improve security and compliance.- Building and designing pages is simple because to the drag and drop interface.- API functionality enables simple system integration.- The content management process is streamlined with built-in LMS Task management and Approval Process Control.

Nachteile

- People who are unfamiliar with content management systems may find it difficult to comprehend and operate the program.- Building a unique feature might need developer assistance.- It could be a little expensive for some businesses.

Vorteile

I love about agility how it has every tool and functionality you need to manage a whole website organized in a single dashboard. It has great prebuilt stuff to start creating your website. I also like it file system, you can use it for your site and emails. It has great costumer support too.

Nachteile

I think there should be easier to customize the templates that it gives you. And sometimes when you override files it sometimes takes a lot of time to show in the website which has caused me trouble before. There should be a cheaper plan in my opinion too.

Vorteile

Agility is a very flexible platform for developpers, offering a way to easily create CMS content for any kind of website. The built-in photo editor, the easily searchable media & documents are great for keeping track of anything we put online. Agility CMS update their software frequenltly with new features.

Nachteile

As an editor, this is a software that is best used by someone who is familiar with products like Wordpress. It is not intuitive enough for someone who has very little knowledge of the web to use.

Vorteile

Image editing: You can directly edit images and add on the website.
Publishing : UI is very user-friendly which makes tasks like Content publishing easy and efficient
Sections: Dedicated links for Category Pages, Tags
Support: The Best part is customer support. I personally found Agility customer support very friendly with quick resolution time.

Nachteile

I have been using Agility CMS for quite a while now and personlaly didnt find any issues with it.

Vorteile

The robust nature of the CMS let's us control how we want to promote over 25 years of content, with minimal limitations.

Nachteile

I wish we had a more constant point of reference who is familiar with our customizations.

Vorteile

Settings tab easy to use and easy to configure the pages

Nachteile

Sometimes the product responds very slow

Vorteile

Really Easy to use . True Cloud solution .

Nachteile

Pricing is a bit high. But worth it. B/c support and customer service team is 5/5 !!

Vorteile

The flexibility of Agility has been a huge asset and allowed us to rebuild our site from the ground up in a relatively short period of time. The editing interface is simple enough that we've been able to have many team members contribute to the site even during the initial template building phases (i.e. content could be added to Agility even before we had the visual template to pull the content into).

Nachteile

There are some minor issues like the inability to see a comprehensive list as to where any given asset is being employed on the site. Having that ability would make organization of components, images, and other elements much simpler.

Vorteile

I would not say the product is super user friendly, but for a novice like me, it was important that we worked with a developer to configure and code our site as our internal expertise in that area is very limited.

Nachteile

Sometimes the asset management can be clunky, but I think that is more about poor organization than the actual functionality of the product.

Vorteile

I find agility really easy to use once it has been shown to us by our developer where things are. I am not a developer so sometimes things are not intuitive to me.

Nachteile

See above. But having said that once I know where things are it is a very simple system to use.

Vorteile

Agility CMS is fairly easy to use. For the most part, it is easy to complete simple tasks like posting a blog or changing the content on a page. It is also easy to find things on Agility as everything is organized and labelled to be user-friendly. The interface requires for little or no coding knowledge in order to have the website up and running.
Also, the customer service is usually prompt and much attention to detail is given, with a few exceptions (See Cons). And help is received whenever we have an issue or query.

Nachteile

Although the accessibility to content is an important function, I find that Agility doesnt allow for the user to have much control over the appearance of the website aside from the initial set-up. Any other adjustments after this usually involves a change request which require a few days to be completed and additional fees. This is especially inconvenient because other website or blogging platforms allow users to modify the appearance themselves and have the changes be immediate.
With customer service, although the initial response is speedy, I find that there are miscommunications that lead to projects being delayed or not completed at all. My recommendation for better customer service would be to schedule phone calls when e-mails require further clarification.

Vorteile

The blend of built-in functionality with front-end adaptability has worked quite well. As opposed to our previous CMS, there is a considerable increase in productivity. The opportunity to evaluate modifications soon after they are made has proven useful. Creativity has also increased as a result of the global instant search.

Nachteile

The pricing appears to be unfavorable; I sincerely hope that it may be improved. Several features necessitate additional procedures than otherwise required, however, this is a minor concern that is most likely fixable given the way we've configured our server.

Vorteile

The ease of using the platform, the integration abilities with third-party tools - super developer friendly. We're able to connect through APIs with our development partners to have data flow from our database through the CMS, content to the app.

Nachteile

There are limitations to the platform, like anything out there - and so not everything is baked into the CMS but we're able to get around that and still connect through APIs to get the data that we need. To get enhancements to the platform we know it takes a long time to get them, as it affects the entire platform, so this is another reason why we do tend to look for API integrations.

Vorteile

Easy to use, overall, it's intuitive than more complicated and more powerful CMS'

Nachteile

Focussing on their core capabilities so some functions are not robust or not available - forms, site search etc

Vorteile

Easy to work with. Very simple and intuitive. Small learning curve.

Nachteile

Limited functionality and many constraints when it comes to design and layout of web pages. Limits user from expressing visual ideas because of these constraints.

Vorteile

The software is easy to use and easy to learn.

Nachteile

The software does not allow for social media integration, we must use an external provider.

Vorteile

The most valuable asset this CMS platform has going for it is its customer support. As a client using this platform for the first time, our development team had many questions, and the Agility team was always there to answer them and provide support in a timely manner. Agility CMS is the perfect solution for clients that want to be able to get content management out of the hands of IT and into the hands of business users, yet also has the flexibility to be highly customized by an experienced development team using the .NET platform.

Nachteile

It may not be intuitive to use as some of the other CMS offerings out there, and may require some training to get the most out of it and use the platform to its fullest capacity. That said, the Agility team has offered various in-house training opportunities and personal one-on-one sessions to get us up to speed and using the platform confidently.

Vorteile

- Very user friendly
- Easy to follow as set up is similar to our actual site
- Love the ability to have shared content
- very greatful to have the "revert" capability
- The unpublish feature is great especially if we need to modify a section and don't want users to see it (without deleting it)

Nachteile

- some files should be restricted to upload if they are too large (or a warning should appear). It is sort of after the fact that we realized some files are too large for the general user to open easily on the site.
- Would love the ability to upload multiple images to a section of agility but not just to the documents section. It would be ideal if the zip file could transfer all the files to the actual module in agility.

Vorteile

Agility is a very flexible program and while it had never been used for a breaking news site before, it was tailored to meet our needs. The modules can be repurposed in many ways, across many different pages. Ease of use is one of Agility's best attributes. Having no technical background I became proficient at adding new modules and pages to the site without the help of a developer.

Nachteile

On occasion the platform isn't as reliable as we had hoped. There have been ongoing publishing issues. Also the save and preview doesn't work and preview would have been very useful to us.

Vorteile

1. Ease of use
2. Great technical support team
3. Starter Packs are awesome

Nachteile

Pricing is a bit high according to me. Some cheaper plans will make this product awesome.

Vorteile

A robust and well-designed CMS, perfect for localization/multi-language sites and assigning content update tasks to several employees with ability to approve content prior to publishing. The Version History feature has been indispensable, allowing quick rollbacks not only to the last published content, but to content that has been archived since the launch of the site. Customer support has been top-notch, and the continual refining of Agility reveals how serious customer feedback is taken.

Nachteile

The ability to work with other applications such as SalesForce and Eloqua within the website environment should be easier than it currently is.

Vorteile

User Friendly
Various in-built and Flexible data types for different types of contents
Good customer support

Nachteile

Media content management is not that advanced
For new users difficult to get help through documentation and it not up to the mark.

Vorteile

I deployed a Gatsby Starter template and it got deployed within a matter of minutes hassle-free. Also it’s really easy to manage through the dashboard/panel. The flexible API based platform really gives it an edge above other CMS.

Nachteile

The free trial only provides 1 project setup

Vorteile

Agility was customized to suit our relatively complex organizational needs. Kyle and the Edentity team managed the implementation process very effectively.

Nachteile

The primary challenge was on our end in providing useable, organized and accurate data from our artistic programming database so that Edentity could then develop a data model for the CMS. If it weren't for considreable time contraints, a more detailed analysis of the data export and the resulting data model would have been ideal.

Vorteile

- customization for regional websites
- excellent customer support
- functions can be adjusted to meet our needs at anytime

Nachteile

- lots of bugs
- some layouts are not easy to use - such as the page where we list all the products. instead of separating into sections, but every products will be listed in the big pool and the newest product added will show up on the last page, instead of the first page.
- Complicated - but this might be due to our own web designs as well

Vorteile

The support team is beyond fantastic and efficient. We have a VERY complicated and graphically intense site and I never thought that a non programmer like me could use the back end of a site like ours without being an HTML expert. But, after the training from Agility I am able to admin ANYTHING on the site with ease and complete customizability . I would recommend to anyone with a website.

Nachteile

I can't think of any cons. I am so impressed and satisfied with Agility.

Vorteile

Well structured layout.

Easy to create new custom pages with the modules and page layouts.

Nachteile

Limited search function - should be able to search for content based on author and be able to search through the text in the content.

Needs better wysiwyg editor support.

Difficult to add custom content types or create your own modules based on typical functionality (ie. list N items from ListA sort by Field).

Vorteile

The contents management scheduling feature flexibility is really helpful, not leaving out the sitemap and reusable blocks are just awesome

Nachteile

All about the Agility is perfect only that if the subscription price can be adjusted because it’s a bit expensive I think it would be affordable by most young people

Vorteile

security features, that control centraly

Nachteile

more manual needed, how the whole system works, and feature

Vorteile

A professional viewing and diverse tool which allows my team to update directly.
Staging functionality is a great tool that allows me to preview work prior to posting directly to our live site.
Time saver.

Nachteile

occassional sticky points with font changes when posting and hyperlink creations....most likely user created but can be frustrating to fix.

Vorteile

Customer support is beyond comparable to any other 3rd party vendor I have ever experienced. The continued support and implementation of new features as well as willingness to meet our ever changing needs has been amazing and almost unheard of in the industry.

Nachteile

There are no cons.

Vorteile

Quick learning curve; templates allow design consistency; maximizes our content; allows multiple users of various abilities to edit content and maintain website

Nachteile

Pulling "old school" design tricks a thing of the past

Vorteile

Very flexible and versatile. Very intuative interface.

Nachteile

The loading time when saving, opening or publishing pages. Frustraiting when the item you are trying to edit has to be accessed through muliple levels.

Vorteile

Easy to use, easy to understand, very quick, very organized.

Nachteile

Sometimes unexplained things happen. It is sometimes too easy to mess something up.

Vorteile

Great features, regularly upgraded

Nachteile

modules can be a little 'buried' in other windows that you have to click through to get to them. Not a big deal though.

Vorteile

User friendly
Excellent support team.

Nachteile

Can't think of any

Vorteile

Very user-friendly, with lots of flexibility to manage website

Nachteile

Slowness on some areas (i.e. saving and publishing product updates)

Vorteile

Fairly intuitive. Doesn't take long to learn how to use the various features.

Nachteile

Wish there were more options and we could build more ourselves.
