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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"CoreMedia is good for workflow management and user reviews."
"I like the tool's plugins."
"We use WordPress on two different websites and it solves all of our website issues."
"The best feature of WordPress is its flexibility."
"The standout feature is its high degree of customization. Creating user-friendly, easily maintainable websites is a breeze, especially with the convenient admin access."
"Ready-made themes speed the design process; a huge number of quality themes are available from several sources."
"WordPress offers great flexibility."
"It is a stable system which offers a wide variety of themes and templates."
"I like how it integrates graphics and words, and more generally, the way people can develop the choices of spaces for different websites."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to scale the solution with respect to the costs and infrastructure."
"I would like to see a new UI."
"One area of improvement is hosting. It should have its file manager regardless of where you host your website."
"In WordPress, the user onboarding process is an area with complexities...there is no step-by-step explanation provided."
"A user may feel intimidated the first time he or she sees it."
"WordPress needs to adapt to new technologies. It also needs to improve scalability. We don't have optimized content and plugins in the tech stack."
"WordPress doesn't automatically scan the website, so we need to install paid plugins for this purpose. Unfortunately, this can lead to slower performance, which is a notable drawback."
"The basic product is becoming less usable by end users for site maintenance post delivery."
"I would like to have the ability to customize the whole WordPress installation. WordPress comes with a number of core features. I would love to be able to remove those I'm not using at the moment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The pricing is very reasonable because WordPress is an open-source platform."
"As per my understanding, WordPress is an open-source product, owing to which there are no requirements to make any payments towards its licensing costs."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
"It provides a high ROI."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"It is an open-source platform. It doesn't need any license."
"Regarding pricing, we have the flexibility to utilize certain themes and plugins across multiple websites for a single one-time cost. However, there are instances where themes come with only one activation key, limiting their use to a single website. Certain plugins and themes come with a significant cost, with the least expensive theme priced at around $120. Additionally, plugins typically range from $80 to $90 per year for a subscription. Consequently, it can be considered somewhat costly in this regard. Conversely, when it comes to WordPress, there is no expenditure involved."
"WordPress is a free solution."
