Agility CMS is great value for money for a complete CMS solution. Overall user experience of this system is amazing for both, users as well as developers.Solid CDN, asset management, editorial features that come in very handy like content scheduling, image editing, batch publishing, are some of the plus points. Mobile support for developers has a scope for improvement though.

Support Rating
Support is always available and responsive when we email, responding right away that they are on the case, even if they are unable to solve the issue right away. Support will usually find the issue of our problem quickly and require minimal hand-holding, direction, or re-explanation from our team. They are knowledgeable about the platform and our instance and are able to run diagnostics with minimal information from us. When issues are resolved they always request confirmation that things are working as expected before closing out our tickets.

Alternatives Considered
Agility offers a balance of simplicity and capability that other platforms don't offer. User-friendly platforms like Word Press do not offer our company the ability to fully customize our site based on our goals, but more adaptable programs like Drupal do not offer the support resources to simplify the structure of our site with pre-existing modules or professional development to meet our needs.
