A Costly But Valuable Web Experience Service

Kentio—by far—has improved our company web experience by miles. No longer do we need to worry about plugins or security flaws from "free" alternatives. We were also able to consolidate services such as marketing e-mail into Kentico itself, and can send out campaigns from the site.

Pros

Kentico is extremely flexible, with a ton of options to edit your website, manage customers through the built-in CRM, send out e-mail campaigns, automate messages, implement personalized content, etc. It takes some training but remains a solid experience once you learn the basics. Website speed has drastically increased, as has our total number of monthly users, session duration, etc.

Cons

The cost can prohibit a lot of small businesses from benefiting with Kentico. There is also a learning curve meaning very few people can drop into the backend and expect to understand what they're seeing initially. A minor issue is occasionally tools such as the scheduler will malfunction and not publish or unpublish content correctly.

The most CMS/DXP complete PLATFORM with unique features

Reviewed on 2021/02/23

The experience of working with a versatile platform (DXP) that is both light and powerful makes good sense to me as an admin and consultant. The companies we advise often do not specialize in IT, but they are successful entrepreneurs and businessmen looking for good quality work, and Xperience is one of the valuable options on our shortlist, which is at our highest standard. It is valuable in terms of service, support and security, and is reasonably priced for large companies looking for true performance and high-quality enterprise products and services.

Pros

Installation Xperience on Microsoft Azure Cloud is pretty easy. It has a compact and professional administration dashboard where everything is available at a glance because it's customizable with my favorite pinned tools, also I've personalized marketing automation with my preferred content and settings. I also like the web analytics features with clean design and useful information about visitors and users' activities. Xperience is more than a CMS and its Digital Experience Platform (DXP) means all you need for your website management, business marketing, and e-commerce are all in one platform.

Cons

We have been working with Xperience DXP for many years, Yes, there is nothing I can write about missing features. They've very good support and if you have a problem with any part, the support team will respond immediately and if there is a bug, it will be fixed before you know it.

Kentico is a versatile CMS that combines content management, digital marketing, and e-commerce capabilities into one platform. It does have some flaws for the advance features that can take some training to really understand.

Pros

Combines CMS, digital marketing, and e-commerce tools in one place. This is especially beneficial for businesses looking for an integrated solution.

Cons

While basic features are intuitive, more advanced tools (e.g., marketing automation) require training or expertise.

Kentico Kan't Handle Most Enterprise Email Marketing Needs

Reviewed on 2024/04/04

Pros

Not much. However, it tries to replicate some of the features of more ubiquitous ESPs.

Cons

There's no link between their CMS and Email Marketing Platform; the UI is clunky and is not as easy, or honestly, robust as other more popular ESPs.
