Flexible, offers helpful web templates, and has good connectivity with third-party applications
Kentico is one of the top solutions on the magic quadrant. Currently, all of the development that we do, we hard-code ourselves. We don't use local development frameworks for other systems. We are looking to expand our use of Kentico by adding no-code or low-code products for rapid development. My advice for anybody who is implementing Kentico is that if they are transitioning into it then be sure to use a phased approach. Don't try to migrate everything right away. I suggest doing it over time and become familiar with the system. If it is only one site then it will not be too difficult, but normally, there are multiple sites. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.
RICARDO FILIPO - PeerSpot reviewer
Very customizable, and forms the base for most websites on the Internet
I work in the community, and I'm part of a team making the core of WordPress. We are responsible for creating how WordPress will change in the next version. The main point is concurrency. For example, we have Squarespace, Wix, and a lot of other frameworks with the same features and functionalities. All those frameworks are going to a completely no-code experience. Anyone can then have a website. You're just dragging, dropping, and writing texts very easily. It's like using Facebook. WordPress comes from a node way. There was a time when the webmaster needed to code in HTML, PHP, or some language to have a website. It has changed over time, but we still have some old things inside the backend of WordPress. We are currently removing all those old things. Day by day, WordPress will be easier to use and more user-friendly. WordPress needs to improve its usability. That way, it will be easier to create websites, e-commerce, CRM, platforms for education, or anything else. It would be good if WordPress improved its AI. For example, if you have a blog, the blog will be auto-writing. I'm working on this, and we have some solutions. Another feature should be the identification of users. It's related to AI. For example, if you go to a website like Facebook or another social network, it's possible to learn everything about you if you go to that place. WordPress has something like that, but it's not so deep. I am personally working on that feature. Anyone coming to a WordPress website will be identified. It's tricky because we have a kind of privacy to follow, so we need to balance both things.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing is competitive."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"It provides a high ROI."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one."
"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 CMS. Installing WordPress is free. The domain and pushing data costs money."
"WordPress is a free solution."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free, although the domain will cost money."
"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."
