Ingeniux CMS vs. Webflow

This tool is dextrous in managing content and it is a profoundly specialized tool for the management of websites, portals and also assists in the delivery of the content and most amazingly on the time. At a reasonable price, we are enjoying many features. A few of its features need to be improved like customization and templates it provides for the mobile.

The good outweighs the bad. I love how my webpage works, and it fulfills everything that I was trying to accomplish. The ability to tag and distribute content across the site saves a lot of time and energy. I just wish that custom elements were easier to reuse across pages and that it weren't so hard to figure out. This tool is better suited for someone who knows what they are doing, rather than a beginner.

• The taxonomy that drives the search and filter is very easy to configure in the CMS.
• The Word Output feature allows us to generate Word files of content on the fly. We love this!
• The CMS allows for easy set up with Google Analytics.

• Easy to use and customize CMS.
• Develop engaging CSS interactions and JavaScript animations visually.
• Several competitively priced hosting tiers are available and all use AWS servers and Fastly CDN.
• Code can be exported to be used with other CMS platforms such as WordPress, or E-Commerce platforms such as Shopify.

• Everything you will need for your website will likely need to be built from scratch. There are little to no out-of-the-box modules that come with the CMS.
• There is a total absence of a user community for Ingeniux, so obtaining support from anyone other than Ingeniux themselves is non-existent.
• Ingeniux is getting better at this but the documentation of their product and feature set is somewhat limited, and generally only available through in-person training sessions, which can be costly.

• The Content Management System needs improvement. In my experience, it's very difficult to organise all our content at big volumes. We want to create a resources section where we can categorize our content but there isn't an easy or intuitive way to do it
• In my opinion, it's incredibly difficult to create tables in an article
• You have to do custom coding for anchor links within an article and it's time consuming and, in my opinion, super annoying
• Website designs are not responsive we need to keep designing a separate mobile version
• In my opinion, Formatting content in articles is annoying compared to other CMSs like Wordpress, Shopify, Wix, Blogger, etc. Worst experience I've had.
• Changes to the nav bar on the homepage do not reflect universally, we needed to do the same changes all over again for our blog and mobile
• Content editors need to keep logging in every time they add content

Again, this is my point of view and I speak on behalf of me the developer and not on behalf of my organization.

It's the perfect balance of GUI and code control

With a little education, I find Webflow incredibly easy to use. As previously mentioned, the Webflow University video library is amazing so anything you need help with is already available. That said, I do feel like it is a relatively steep learning curve and would be even steeper for someone who is completely new to Web Development, which is why I gave it the score I did.

In my experience, their customer service is an absolute joke, I tried reaching out to them they took forever. I had to keep following up with them as if they never received it in the first place. It’s a new platform, so guidance is needed. Tried the university they offer, in my opinion, it is completely useless, I would just completely move on from this website.

In my opinion, it is horrible, the rendering takes forever. I have the newest MacBook and the platform will still lag and slow down on me. I’m not a developer, I am a designer which makes it worst because I am using the features they are providing not extra coding features. In my opinion, it is a horrible platform really, stay away.

Friendly, knowledgeable, willing to teach. Their satisfaction is reached when I get my problem solved.

I haven't had to engage them from a support perspective; however, there is a considerable user community for tips/ideas/troubleshooting and the like. I believe the Pro plan supports additional resources but we didn't find that the cost justified the outcome. Overall the need for support has been relatively minor.

IGX has came a long way and is going even further. Once they integrate more self-support for developers, integrate with other languages and provide more detailed specific training, they will stack up to the leaders, Drupal and Joomla. IGX is on their way, I know product integrity is their main focus and as long as they keep that notion, their success will continue

So, Webflow gave me the freedom that other platforms didn't in terms of not needing to code (in comparison to WordPress), and the site looks like a professional page rather than a generic average one, and then in terms of having more than just writing key findings (in comparison to medium) like a site that feels unique and sophisticated. Finally, all in all, Webflow is harder at start but the results are eye pleasing and its totally worth the time.

I feel it doesn’t perform the way it’s supposed to and it doesn’t have any beneficial factors to it. In my opinion, there is no reason to use a platform like this when Wix and Shopify, and WordPress exist. I believe Webflow is a platform that shouldn’t exist and it’s only popular because of the hype it received. I tried it and hate it completely.

• It has been liked really well by the customers and our inhouse CMS development team could do with lesser head count because of the tool's self driven features.
• Taxonomy features are not that robust and thus could be made more rich for users looking to categorize their content.

• Work quality output has improved as Webflow helps bridge the gap between design and development.
• Lower overall development costs mean more client budget can be allocated to strategy and creative.
• Faster turnarounds result in shorter billing cycles, which improve agency cashflow.
