Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Getting started is simple, fast and intuitive.As a contributor to my organization's website, the Jahia tool allows us to set up the site's various pages without having to use HTML/CSS/JS. Everything is designed for those who are not comfortable with code. However, if you want to use code, you can add it to adjust the content. Adding images and documents is quick and easy. Customer service is responsive and efficient. The components are complete and practical.

Pros

component diversity
Customization with templates
reactive customer service

Cons

page load times (backoffice) too long
limited JavaScript usage

Likelihood to Recommend

In my team, there are people who don't know how to use HTML and CSS at all, and others who are familiar with HTML and CSS. Jahia Digital Experience Platform allows you to build complete pages without using any code, or complete pages by customizing with CSS code. Anyone can create pages and get the same results.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization implements the Jahia Digital Experience Platform for various other clients as well as our business website. We utilize the CMS component of Jahia Digital Experience Platform to help clients build out intricate websites, some public facing and some internal only. The majority of these CMS managed sites utilize custom development to expand on Jahia Digital Experience Platforms base functionality to meet various business requirements. We also train end users on how to utilize Jahia Digital Experience Platform to manage their content once everything has been completed in terms of development. Thanks to the user friendliness of the platform, this training is usually smooth and quick.

Pros

Content Management
Technical Support
Expandability
Customization

Cons

Improving some Admin functions in the CMS
Expand base functionality
Improving media management

Likelihood to Recommend

In my experience, Jahia Digital Experience Platform as a CMS platform is excellent when you have a large amount of content that needs to be customized. It is also good for when you have templated content that has minor variations. I would say it is less appropriate when the content has numerous mathematical computations, or a large amount of business logic that comes into play with data processing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We migrated to Jahia 3 years ago and use the platform to manage our website in 4 languages. In comparison to our previous HTML heavy CMS that meant relying on team members with HTML skills, creating and editing pages and managing assets is a much faster process and more accessible to the wider team due to the pre-built components and simple interface.

Pros

Managing multi language sites
SEO
Mobile optimisation
Pre-built components

Cons

Internal search could be more accurate
More learning resources for advanced features would be great

Likelihood to Recommend

The platform is a brilliant tool for managing multi-language sites that require regular updates as it is comparable to other platforms on the market, is really easy to learn and making and publishing changes is a quick and simple process.

Very capable DXP Platform and Strong Customer Service

July 22, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Jahia Digital Experience Platform to manage a multi-lingual website with a lot of traffic. We migrated from an old Joomla implementation that was not capable of supporting the company as we grew. In that older site it was difficult to update content and keep things secure. We have multiple domains and systems running and the intention over time is to continue migrating more areas into the Jahia Digital Experience Platform.

Pros

Content editing, ease of use
Managing multiple languages
Managing images and files

Cons

More component templates
Additional features / AI to accelerate content workflow

Likelihood to Recommend

Works well if you are running complex sites with multiple languages, perhaps multiple subdomains and where your site is really mission critical for the success of your company. There are cheaper and more basic website platforms available that are perfect for some people but, in my opinion, you will find they are lacking when you start to scale up with more content, integrations and all round functionality.
