WCM Evaluation Research Updates

20-Jun-2011

Tags: Web Content and Experience Management, Marketplace at Large, Selecting Technology, Adobe CQ5 , Alfresco WCM, CMS, DotNetNuke, eZ publish, Interwoven TeamSite, Kentico CMS, SharePoint 2010 WCM

Last week we released a significant update to our comparative Web Content Management vendor reviews. There's a lot to conclude here about what's going on in the marketplace, but for now, I'll just summarize some of the new info from our revised evaluations:

  • Adobe CQ: Not yet very Adobified (but do you care?)
  • Alfresco: On-again off-again love affair with WCM continues...
  • Autonomy: On a clear day you can still see Interwoven
  • DotNetNuke: In the midst of a long modernization program
  • Ektron: Still marching to its own drummer
  • eZ Publish: No, it hasn't gone away...
  • Kentico: Features are shallow, but so is the price
  • MS SharePoint: For WCM, an expensive development platform

If your organization is a Web CMS stream subscriber, you can access the updated evaluation chapters and comparison matrices here.

If you have never seen our WCM research, you can obtain a sample excerpt here.
