Optimizely |
Sitecore |
---|---|---|
Time to market | Marketers can move faster by deploying and iterating on content themselves. |
Reliance on proprietary, legacy framework often requires extensive specialist input and delays time to market for content projects. |
Who it’s for |
Designed for your entire digital team, from content editors, designers and developers. |
Overly complex codebase and backend means Sitecore is best suited to teams with extensive developer resources. |
User experience |
Intuitive authoring experience via Visual Builder, available as part of the core platform, allows marketing and editorial teams to seamlessly build and publish content. Includes live preview, drag-and-drop content blocks, and rich text editor. | Steep learning curve. Multiple authoring UIs result in complex publishing and time-consuming development workflows. |
Integrations |
Seamlessly connects with an extensive range of third-party platforms and tools. | While Sitecore does offer decent integration capabilities, custom dev work is required. |
Innovation |
Driven by real customer needs and backed by heavy R&D and investments. New features, including AI-assisted personalization, are regularly released.
Delivers major performance gains with the latest .NET Core framework. | Sitecore’s platform is outdated, leaving customers to face modern CMS challenges with a platform that’s lacking in innovation. |
Maintenance |
Continuous software maintenance, seamless upgrades, zero downtime deployment, and the fastest performance available. |
Resource-intensive for most customers on XM. Upgrading to new versions necessitates manual intervention from a dedicated internal dev team or agency.
Outdated codebase (.NET 4.8x and legacy ASP.net) compromising performance. |
Support |
24/7 support, professional training, friendly experts, and active user community. |
Optimizely support a stark contrast to the extensive support delays reported by Sitecore customers. |
Governance |
Ensures each team member has the right mix of guardrails and permissions for greater workflow efficiency and team collaboration. |
Custom permissions and roles available to enterprise customers only. |
Pricing |
Optimizely’s pricing comes with more features included and less unexpected costs as customers scale up use of the platform. |
Sitecore’s frequent changes and upgrades result in extra costs, which can make long-term financial planning more difficult.
Additional costs for add-ons can strain budgets and reduce ROI overall.
