Provides effective workflow management and catalog management
Around three to four engineers are needed for the solution's deployment and maintenance. The solution's e-commerce integration feature has impacted our marketing efforts and catalog management. CoreMedia is stable and strong in terms of editorial things. The solution has helped our organization manage translations for different languages. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Irfani Silviana - PeerSpot reviewer
A versatile platform for web development that has helped me cater to a diverse range of clients
I appreciate the flexibility of WordPress, particularly its filter and action hooks, which allow for the development of additional features. We can build our own plugins into this. We can be creative while following our clients' requirements. For example, I recently built a custom plugin where the client wanted extra functionalities about membership, special profile pages, and a subscription system. And WordPress has helped a lot, thanks to its flexibility. I could use current plugins on the market and then modify them with my own plugin and collaborate with other existing plugins. So, WordPress has reduced a lot of work for me as a developer. With WordPress, I can achieve the functionality that I want. I don't have to do everything from scratch because a few solutions exist in the market, and I can enhance that.
