    Acoustic
    We can organize all our content easily by uploading content files and other digital assets. CMS smart AI generates metadata by tagging them automatically which helps us to sort our content into different categories.

    DNN
    DNN [Platform] is great for organizations of any size who wish to have a robust CMS to manage their site. DNN is not ideal for a small site that is better suited to a super easy to user interface such as Wix. DNN [Platform] is plenty strong enough for enterprises and large entities.

    DNN
    • Very easy to use CMS - Ease of use is paramount with CMS products to minimise on support calls. Also the template structure of pages ensures that content editors cannot inadvertently corrupt the layout of the page.
    • Powerful application framework - The existence of APIs for all functionality within the CMS provides limitless scope in terms of developing bespoke applications which sit within the CMS.
    • Commercially supported option available - For larger clients, the comfort factor of having a direct line to the developers of the application is a big selling point.

    Cons
    Acoustic
    • The organization of the application is poor and some elements could be more easily accessible not buried in menus.
    • There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.
    • Does not work well with our IBM applications as well as you would expect, which seems a common issue with IBM products.

    DNN
    • Out of the box, it has some modules, but not enough unless you do a paid version.
    • The support is a bit slow.
    • The menuing can be confusing and terms used a bit strange. which makes training difficult.

    DNN
    My experience with Joomla! was over six years ago so a lot could have changed. However, I prefer DNN over Joomla because DNN offers more modules and a better administration user interface.

    DNN
    • DNN helps us win bids on projects through the improvements the community has done over the past few years; we were ready to scrap it all together but it has made great strides
    • DNN's community has come back and is actively working to improve and expand the capabilities of the cms
    • on a negative note, the confusion between evoq and dnn has caused us headaches
