ExpressionEngine, not the worst but not my favorite

Rating: 4 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My husband and I are software developers. We work for companies with websites built in Drupal, ExpressionEngine, Wordpress or any php based platform. There is one company using ExpressionEngine for their website. They have forms, user registration, and data display.

Pros

Simple admin interface for the end user.
Generates clean markup for front-end theming.

Cons

Not flexible enough to create a really custom website.
Source control can be a mess since it's mostly database.
Data migration even core updates or server migration are not easy to make.
Is not an open source license.

Likelihood to Recommend

Dynamic validations or complex conditionals are hard to accomplish.

ExpressionEngine Evaluation

Rating: 7 out of 10

May 1, 2014

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using ExpressionEngine as the CMS for our organization's main website. Multiple personnel across our organization use this CMS. EE allows us to create and reuse module functionality quickly and efficiently.

Pros

ExpressionEngine (EE) is highly customizable and flexible.
EE allows you, the developer, to drive the decisions about the architecture of your site/blog rather than having those decisions made for you by the CMS.
EE syntax is dynamic, easy to learn, and has a good amount of functionality built in.

Cons

If you are new to web development, EE has a greater learning curve than some other popular CMSs like WordPress.
Because it does not make architecture decisions for you, getting an initial site created will take longer than other CMSs. (You, the developer, will have to create the channels, choose form fields, and code the HTML/EE templates yourself)
EE is based on an open source codebase, but you have to pay for the product itself.

Likelihood to Recommend

When you want a highly customizable and extendable framework for your website, EE is a great choice. EE is best suited to those with web development experience wanting to create a full-featured, complex site.
