Magnolia, the open source content management vendor that delivers simplicity on an enterprise scale, today announced that Magnolia 4.3 earned high business and technical scores in an independent Ars Logica review. Magnolia was among the first four Ars Logica Compass Guides to Web Content Management, a comprehensive set of product evaluations of 35+ leading CMS vendors.
Open Source CMS earns high business and technical scores in intensive, independent competitive analysis
The independent report on open source Magnolia CMS 4.3, based on an exhaustive 172-item vendor questionnaire, hands-on product testing, and customer interviews, cites Magnolia's "extreme technical refinement that consistently garners highest praise from those interested in technology for its own sake," and "a polished user interface that non-technical business users have taken to easily." The report notes, "the STK forms a flexible foundation on which designers and developers can build original websites, repurposing the templates as they see fit." As a result, Ars Logica "found Magnolia to be highly competitive technically with the most expensive enterprise-scale commercial WCM products on the market today."
The Ars Logica report gave Magnolia high marks on its business and technical report cards, including 8.9 for usability, 8.7 for scalability, 7.7 for development tools, and 7.6 for ease of administration.
We are up against a number of major players in an extremely competitive CMS industry, so it is most gratifying to see the high scores we achieved in the independent Ars Logica review. The report affirms our strategy to deliver open source simplicity and flexibility on an enterprise scale.
