Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System

I use the Opti Content management system to maintain and update my site with relevant content related to the products and industries we serve. We use it to create and manage blogs also.

Pros

  • Easy to navigate.
  • Easy to create content and manage it.
  • Enable us to make changes to our site quickly and efficiently.
  • Allows us to do work ourselves without a developer or knowing code,.

Cons

  • Make it easier to get out of of the CMS once you activate it. now, anytime you use CMS and try to go to your website after it opens the CMS if you're logged into the admin console, which is really annoying.
  • Make it easier to create widgets without needing to work through a developer or partner.
  • Help manage image sizes when adding them to the site, to help improve site speed.
  • The positive is on ROI as we can get more done without needing to go through 3rd party or know Code to create and add content.
  • Workflows could use improvement. I don't know that there are workflows that I'm aware of.
  • Make it easier to connect to 3rd party software like Hubspot, Magento, email services, etc.
It's a little bit better and easier to use.
