Choosing a CMS for a financial company website?

Question

Zend Framework

Tell me, there is a site running on self-written CMS.
The content company intensively offers CMS PiCMS (they say the zend framevork engine) doped.
They claim that their doped system is better than bitrisk, umi and others.
Of course, they sent a summary table with their plus signs ..... Remembering the posters of Microsoft and VMware that pull the blanket over themselves - it's hard to believe in comparisons from manufacturers or affected "independent sources"
Tell me how to be, compare, choose?

Answer 1

1. This is a tricky move (to persuade them to use their own CMS), they do this so that later no one but them can support the site. 2. If you have a corporate website with several permanent pages, company news, and something else simple, then take something opensource. For example, the same wordpress, many ready-made solutions, a large community, high development speed.

There will be questions - write.

3. In any case, in order not to be dependent on them, take something that not only they can work with.

Answer 2

It's a perfectly reasonable idea, on the part of a company, to sell its own product. On the other hand, are there any specific requirements for your CMS? Integration with AD, WorkFlow, CRM? Or is it just a corporate resource with text/graphic content?

As for the essence of the issue, I have never heard of CMS PiCMS, I can’t compare it with anything. We use Bitrix CMS and Bitrix Corporate Portal in our production.

Answer 3

here is the comparison

Answer 4

Choose any popular commercial CMS. A large number of good studios can work with the same Bitrix, so there is no problem of switching from one developer to another.

Answer 5

All CMS are always finished and I have never met a universal CMS, the thing is that everyone needs something different from the functionality. My advice to you. Compare the forums and customer reviews, and make yourself an idea of ​​the current state, and choose the right one for yourself.

Answer 6

In terms of security, self-written is better than a popular CMS, because. potential "hackers" do not have the opportunity to get acquainted with its source code.

Answer 7

It is not worth agreeing to the above proposal - this may come back to haunt you in the future if it becomes necessary to change the contractor.

If there really is a need to change the CMS, it is better to choose from common options, realizing that further support will be much easier.

What exactly to choose depends on what kind of site you have, what features you need, etc.

Choosing UMI is not worth it at all. It's quite a nightmare.

You can choose Bitrix if the ready-made functionality of any edition is enough for you, and if you are not embarrassed that it is very immodest in resource consumption. If it will be necessary to modify something, then it is better to look in the other direction. It's not trivial and it's not cheap. If you have a visited site, then this will also not be a very good choice - the hosting requirements are cosmic. =)

Without knowing your tasks, it is difficult to recommend something really suitable for you, but I advise you to look in the direction of the same Drupal - it is more than comparable to the above systems and much more flexible. Development at the initial stage will probably be more expensive, even taking into account the price of a Bitrix license (if you manage to meet inexpensive editions), but subsequent support and development will be cheaper, and it will not be difficult to find performers for these works if something happens.

Or maybe something simpler will work for you.

Answer 8

I would suggest finishing DLE, very flexible cms

Answer 9

It is necessary to choose not technologies, but people. What difference does it make to you what your site works on, if everything flies and new features are being implemented quickly. In this sense, the best choice is just a specialist with a self-written system (provided that he will work for a long time). And all these bitrixes, yumi, zends are a high risk that the people who sell them do not understand a damn thing about them.
If we still talk about technologies, then I would think twice about taking something written in Zend, because it is absolutely redundant for content tasks.
