We’ve listed six reasons you should consider Optimizely CMS over Sitecore as your next CMS, and keep reading to see the only reason you need to choose Sudo Roux as your Optimizely Partner to assist you in making the switch.

1) Gartner knows

  • Optimizely CMS is recognized by Gartner and Forrester with a total of seven leadership positions in CMS and DXP.
  • Sitecore is and has been for sometime, on a negative trajectory in their sector reports.

2) Instant value

  • Optimizely CMS significantly increases your impact by launching new experiences quickly and easily, while delivering more value for your money with more powerful and many pre-integrated capabilities.
  • Sitecore’s well-known for its complexity (we all know these moments) and to make it more complicated and confusing, is now compounded by four distinct CMS products for different use cases: XM, XP, XM Cloud, Content Hub.

3) More than a partnership

  • Optimizely invests in your long-term success with a world-class support ecosystem complete with Customer Success, 24/7/365 Support, Professional Training, Expert Services and a Active Community. This includes Sudo Roux’s very own Optimizely OMVP (and the first in APAC) Aria Zanganeh
  • With Sitecore, you’ll need to be a certified Sitecore developer to get help

4) Maintenance, maintained.

  • Optimizely has continuous software maintenance, seamless upgrades, zero-downtime deployments, and the fastest performance available.
  • Sitecore is well-known for its struggles with maintenance and a resource-constrained organisation lacking a deep breadth of developers.

5) Always innovating

  • Optimizely is consistently modernising and innovating on a single CMS codebase, delivering major performance gains with the latest .NET Core framework.
  • The Sitecore CMS (XM and XM Cloud) still uses .NET 4.8x and legacy ASP.net dependencies, compromising performance.

6) Marketers love it

  • Optimizely CMS empowers marketers to manage the complete content lifecycle: create content, publish pages, and drive experiences at scale, with a content marketing platform that surpasses Sitecore’s abilities.
  • Sitecore’s content marketing platform pales in comparement. 

7) A proactive partner
