Built for mid-market & enterprises, Zesty powers content distribution to websites, apps, IoT, e-commerce platforms and digital signage. And as more channels appear we will serve there as well.
Umbraco fits businesses that want to develop top-of-the-class tech solutions, where developer flexibility and seamless integrations without vendor lock-in are the highest priorities.
I find it as enjoyable to use as a CMS can be. There was some learning curve but once comfortable with the environment it's a powerful and easy platform.
I worry that when there is a major overhaul of the software, I'll not be able to get a contractor onboard to support me quickly. Thankfully, few overhauls have taken place so far.
But Zesty was committed to delivering what was promised, we overcame the challenges together, and developed a strong relationship in the process. Our team enjoyed using the platform.
Some of the engineers steps are not intuitive (how the pages/datasets, etc work). There is no way to edit within an IDE of choice.
The customer service is EXCELLENT. Very available, very responsive, backed by actual engineers.
Function for managing redirects was limited. This made site re-builds more time-consuming.
Highly recommend if you are looking for industrial-strength CMS with almost infinite flexibility for developers. If you want a cheap template-y solution, this is not what you want.
Some of the Media organization is a little quirky. That is really the only negative.
The flexibility to create a range of different webpage layouts, without the need to do any coding is great, and the preview function is particularly useful.
Sometimes experience errors and deployment failures when too many users are in at the same time. Syncing issues from prep to prod cause problems.
We use Umbraco to manage our websites, it's a great CMS that makes managing a large and popular website slightly easier.
Steep learning curve, especially for people unfamiliar with CMS software. There is no official support and no drag-and-drop functionality.
It is hands down, our development teams preference for coding in. And any time we've needed help, our CTO has had great support from the company.
Therefore links become broken and you have to re-link post courier and then courier again.
The pages can be updated fairly quickly and the WYSIWYG page editor is straightforward. What I liked the most was how quickly a page can be saved and published.
Basic stuff that should come out of the box like rel canonical tags etc. have to be custom coded - at least for the sites I have encountered. The search functionality within the CMS is horrible.
