    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.

    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.

    It will be too difficult to change to a different software. We are fully integrated, and if things are not working well, it would be way worse to try to move to a different platform.

    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.

    • 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.
