It might be just me but I can’t stand Ektron. Has anyone else had problems with this CMS? It’s the CMS400 .net. Ours crashes the server and eats records in the database. It’s charming. I might be spoiled because I designed my last CMS. Still, this seems to be particularily yucky. Any info would be helpful so I can either save it or have enough ammunition to trash it.
Thanks in advance for everyone’s input! I’m hopeful and eternally grateful!
I was so against the use or ektron, that I voted with my feet and quit.
There are good content management systems out there. All you need to have is a really good ways of extending the system in a modular way. I am not saying sharepoint is the best but at least being able to slot new web parts into site collections is better then messing around with ektron's visual basic nightmare of a backend.
I would have to know intimate details about your project to be able to point you in the right direction, some contenders are good with workflow, other have strengths in publishing, and then there is always collaboration.
Dont pick your CMS by just merely downloading a trial and picking the first one that looks good. Mess around with it, figure out how extensible it is, and more importantly find out what its strengths are and what it gives you out of the box.
Good luck!
