Overall Satisfaction with SDL Tridion
SDL Tridion is used to manage multi-lingual content for a large product website. It is implemented in the entire organization and local country business units use it to update and maintain content in several languages. It allows separate maintenance of content and layout, and is excellent at sharing the content to all country language websites.
- Multi-language website content
- Well architected API that exposes all CMS functionality via Web Services
- Solid CMS and Content Delivery architecture that scales well for highly visited sites
- Solid security and roles setup to easily configure access to folders and features in the CMS
- Customizable GUI
- Great active community with dedicated Tridion site on StackExchange
- More training courses and information about integrating new products, such as Fredhopper and SmartTarget, with existing Tridion implementations
- Faster time to rollout country websites
- Easier usage of existing translations. For example, quickly rolling out a Moroccan website re-using the French translations.
- Great integration with the SDL language tools, providing a button in Tridion to send it for translation, and a webpage to see the status of translation
SDL has a better API and also handles high server load much better. Also, the built-in integrations for translations are more suited for performing lots of translations for many sites. However, Umbraco, like Tridion, has a great community and finding solutions with both platforms is very easy.
