    Amaxus is well suited as a development platform and content management system for companies who have a dedicated, experienced development team because it has such complex functionality. It is not well suited for companies whose main content updater will be a person with limited development experience, because it is so hard to learn and understand how to use.

    Divi is great if you build multiple websites for clients; however, I'm not sure it is cost-effective if you only make a single site.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • There is a huge learning curve for developers. All our new website builds were going beyond the timeline because of the learning curve.
    • It is very complex and teaching our clients how to use it required several training sessions.

    • The load time of the builder could be faster. On some websites it takes a long time to load, and may crash the page. (I believe they've said they're working on this stability issue.)
    • Warnings on updates if they're difficult for some sites to run. I have one website that has crashed more than once from Divi's theme updates. I always back it up before the update so I restore the site, but this is still a bit of an inconvenience.
    • Integrated (or more clearly marked) tutorials within the builder. I migrate site maintenance and ownership to clients after the site is complete and some could use refreshers within the builder on what happens where i.e. the difference between a section, row, module.

    Divi is overall a great tool to use - I think I would need to spend a little more time to dig into the tool to provide more long term feedback.

    I have used an in-house CMS which was very simple and only allowed the user to update very basic templated content, and I have used Sitecore, which is sort of like a middle-of-the-road. Sitecore is great because it allows for the user to have a lot of control over templates and updating content, but it's not so complex that it is very difficult and time-consuming to learn how to use, like Amaxus.

    I find Elementor very clunky and find Divi much more intuitive.
    Also we purchased a lifetime license for Divi and can use it on unlimited websites, while Elementor there is a yearly subscription per site

    • It has a negative impact because it put us back on our timelines.
    • It had a negative impact because our customers didn't like the learning curve to use it.
    • It had a negative impact because it caused so much stress among our team to learn it.
