    Commonspot is well suited for web content management to be conducted by individuals with low-level web skills.

    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.

    Pros
    PaperThin, Inc
    • I think CommonSpot's greatest strength is its ease of use. It's relatively intuitive in it's usage, so it therefore makes it easy to train new people to use it.
    • Within my usage of it, our options were limited, which again added to it's ease of use.

    Cons
    PaperThin, Inc
    • Commonspot needs to improve on its authoring feature. It is impossible to author on more than one page at a time . (One must always click on "View work on all changes") before switching between pages otherwise, the changes will not be saved.
    • CommonSpot does not support sharing the definition of any custom element or any template layouts. Therefore, one must recreate these in each site.
    • In Commonspot, a user who has to manage content in multiple sites will have to log in to each site to see and act on any actions.

    • 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.

    I had no previous background in content management, and found it very easy to use. If I could figure it out, I am pretty certain that just about anyone else could as well.

    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 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

    Return on Investment
    PaperThin, Inc
    • I was working in a religious institution and based upon our usage and audience, there was no ROI to speak of. Our usage was more for providing information than having any type of interaction. In that instance, it worked very well.

    • Higher conversion rate
    • Theres no needed more tools
    • Ive got rid of a CTA tool since with Divi i can make them. Is not that easy, but is functional
