Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System

We use the Optimizely Content Management System to author and maintain our externally facing public website. This allows us to develop versatile web pages for both public and private (signed in) user consumption. Additionally, it allows us to make quick changes as needed and create new pages based on previously developed content.

Pros

  • Page and Block development and management
  • Fast changes to the site without having to do full deployments
  • Managing assets for use on pages and blocks

Cons

  • Export of authored pages and blocks from to and front different environments
  • Tracking usage of globally author content (like block usage on pages)
  • Bulk changes to sets of pages or blocks that have the same underlying structure
  • Easy to create custom pages based on sub-content
  • Easy and fast to make changes
  • Good set of plugins to interact with third party providers
Once you get used to using CMS it is very versatile and provides a lot of flexibility.

Optimizely Content Management System is great for simplistic to mid level complexity websites. If you need a site stood up quickly that you can iterate on changes for it is great. However, if you have a complex website that is trying to do very specific things or show a lot of content on pages, it can get hard to manage without good diligence by site authors.
