Overall Satisfaction with Magnolia
My department manages most of the websites (50+) for our organization, with a variety of audiences. Internal business partners across our organization in different lines of business have access to Magnolia in order to be able to update the content on the websites they own. My team manages the development and maintenance of these sites. Before Magnolia, all content updates had to come through my team for development and testing. With the amount of sites we manage, this limited the amount of new work we could take in (new sites, enhancements to existing sites). Using Magnolia has allowed us to free up our developers to work on higher priority work without neglecting our run-the-business content updates. In my role, I train and support our business partners in Magnolia, as well as review all content updates before they are published.
Pros
- Easy to onboard new users - using components is fairly intuitive.
- Once standardized components are built, propping up a new site is pretty easy and quick.
- Workflows allow my team to stay hands off with editing, but still review changes before they go live.
- Simple user interface.
- Can send direct links to edit a page
Cons
- Cannot revert to previous version if it hasn't been published.
- Individual users cannot delete failed publishes and messages (which makes it look like there are open requests).
- Publishing larger folders of images is often not possible.
- We had to design our own preview link solution for sites integrated with Angular
- Doesn’t always play nice with Angular
- Dramatic reduction in run-the-business content updates being made by our developers.
- All sites managed in one system with standardized processes for all business partners.
- Content updates are made and published in a fraction of the time you before we used Magnolia.

Magnolia Feature Ratings
Using Magnolia
10 or less users are admin/developers. 20 or less users are developers, 10 or less users are workflow managers. The rest of the users are marketing and communications business partners throughout the organization under a variety of lines of business who are supported by some of the other types of users.
I don’t have an awareness of the specific qualifications for he team that supports Magnolia as a whole.
- Website content updates
- Lead gen forms
- Campaign management
- Using existing components to avoid larger enhancements
