Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report looks at... Ektron CMS400

"Although user management is relatively straightforward, there a couple of things to be aware of. For example, you need to be a super-user to perform certain mundane managerial tasks, like deleting or moving images and other files. The natural temptation is to get around this by granting departmental managers admin privileges, but in that case the persons in question will all have godlike access to all content and services. "

(p. 376)

Our latest Web CMS evaluations

11-May-2009   --  

We've just released the latest major update to our Web CMS research. (That's Version 17 for those counting.)

There's all kinds of interesting findings in the new edition, including substantial updates to web content management offerings from Oracle, Percussion, Vignette, Ektron, Sitecore, Drupal, DotNetNuke, all the SaaS-based vendors, and much more.

If there is a single theme this time, it's what we're calling the "third wave" of European Web CMS vendors breaching North American shores.

On the whole, I think the expansion of smallish (albeit longstanding) vendors is good for customers, since these suppliers often bring fresh architectures and often attractive pricing. As always, you have a plethora of choices. Our evaluations have helped thousands of organizations like yours find the right fit.

Subscribers will receive their updates shortly. If you're new to our research, you can download a sample here.
