The syndication feature has allowed us to create content and put on multiple pages, easing our overall workload.
That taxonomy cannot be filtered is something I hope will be fixed in the future.
We are now mobile responsive and using this CMS allows us greater flexibility to change marketing on the fly.
Everything in Ingeniux is represented by XML data, which is very versatile and easy to manipulate in C#. The ways you can manipulate and organize the data in your website via categorization, and pull that data throughout the site is very powerful and allows you to create almost anything you want in terms of front end code. Ingeniux is also very flexible and customizable, with API hooks into a lot of nooks and crannies of the CMS. You can concievably integrate almost every third party service into the actual CMS itself, using things like Custom Tabs or Applications that live in tandem with the code base.
Being so modular, using Ingeniux with third party platforms or integrating services into it requires a lot of legwork.
We use Ingeniux as a platform for our client's websites and intranets, to allow them to reach their audiences without limiting the kinds of content they can create.
The flexibility of having the content separated from the presentation layer is very powerful, and the support team is always great.
I would love to see more direction to supporting the newest development platforms.
The taxonomy system has allowed us to manage supporting content across thousands of pages easily.
The personalized technical support, is the best. If an email can't answer the issue, IGX support staff gets on the phone or on a webex meeting to work through the issues. Once a solution is found, they usually summarize the solution back to you in an email. This is great for documenting the solution for future reference.
I think the product is getting more technical in its development. Maybe .Net provides more flexibility; however, I think the back end development is way more complex than when we started with Ingeniux in 2009.
We run our main college website on Ingeniux CMS. It has simplified the content creation and content approval process on campus.
I like that the CMS can be setup as complex and as simple as needed. For example, we have a couple instances of the CMS running. Our main instance needs to complex with a couple dozen schemas. Another instance we have setup just has a few schemas and basic code. I also like the architecture of the CMS where the design side and the web side are separated so If we need to take the CMS side down for maintenance we can still keep the website still up and reduce any downtime to the website. Support is huge for us. We feel confident when working with support to resolve our issues.
Documentation. Sometimes the documentation can be lacking.
One cohesive website that meet the needs of each department and college on campus while, while maintaining accessibility. The CMS has allowed us to maintain our brand standard throughout most of our department and college sites and standardize certain information across the campus, These standardizations would usually not happen unless we were in a centralized CMS.
I love the having full control over the rendering system, without all the legwork of making a CMS
The CMS can be extremely slow at times, even screeching to a halt after a while, combine that with not being able to push new templates directly to the server and it really slows production at times
We have created a website for a college where hundreds of people have access to different pages respecting their positions in the college. Being able to have a system with this many seats makes maintaining our website a lot easier
I like the ability to pin different tabs
Editing HTML from the body is not the best.
We have t ability to update schemas on a large scale. This allows us to choose schemas that are used the most.
Easy of use, and infinitely flexible. You can literally do anything with Ingeniux.
Needs better asset management. When you delete an image from a page, it is hard to find the appropriate image in assets to get rid of it.
Makes it super easy to get new users creating, editing and uploading content. We have 80 full time CMS users and I have been teaching monthly classes on how to use it for 7 years. Everyone is amazed at how simple it is. Especially, new employees that have used a CMS at their precious job. We can't wait for all the new features that are coming in version 10.
The new CMS offers a nice platform that is diverse and allows for a lot of customization - while still enforcing the standardization that comes with a CMS templating system. CMS 9 has given us the opportunity to develop many pages with custom features into an established template. The preview system has allowed for easier approval workflows. This is especially important when business users want to see the interaction perform - but it is not in production yet.
I don't like having to publish something just to get my images to production. The new CMS 9 seems to need to "think" more than previous versions.
We can build very customized experiences with unique landing pages that can speak to segmented traffic. The flexibility to "re-use" elements now and make not have to make anymore one-off pages just to accommodate a small visual/cosmetic change.
Because we are a small shop, and because the software is so complex and finicky, I cannot consider doing much development on the site – leaving it to Ingeniux. One less recurring major headache to manage.
The software is so finicky and complex that we cannot do much to fix things, much less add functionality. And then Ingeniux takes forever because every site is so idiosyncratic not even their developers can quickly find breaks or add functionality.
Standard publishing for a distributed organization. Work flow in principle makes us more efficient, but given the counter-intuitive interface the infrequent user ends up asking for help or loses their own time trying to remember how to edit or publish.
Ingeniux has a very friendly UI that works well for our content contributors. Using the MVC framework from Microsoft also gives it a very flexible framework to work around that can be shaped to your needs. Development to work with the CMS is straightforward and not full of confusing CMS specific workarounds.
The CMS has one major flaw, and that is maintaining assets. Assets (PDFs, images, etc) are not kept in any kind of database structure, so they are not tracked. From a performance and complexity standpoint, this is a good thing, but from a usability standpoint, it is extremely bad. For instance, if a user deletes a PDF, the system does not look to see what links may break, but instead just deletes the asset and allows the broken links to occur. Also, renaming an asset doesn't correct any links to it, which leads to similar issues.
We are using it to power our customer facing websites. As far as benefit's go, the biggest has been the ease of use for content contributors. This has led to far less issues with updating the site, and more time left to developing instead of helping the users.
We have been using Ingeniux for several years and it works really well. It allows us to have various department reps update their portion of the website. It is very lightweight and was relatively easy to implement. It is definitely a good CMS system.
A lot of the support that we needed was community based as we had some issues finding what we wanted. But it just works, so we don't have that much to complain about.
Not provided
It allows us to change content without doing a deploy of any code. This allows us to change content on non-code release days. It also allows for non-developers to make content changes.
I believe that it is likely an issue with the way we implemented CMS but we only use it for content at this time. Users are not able to change the look and feel of the website. they can't move fields around or add fields. that still needs to be done by a developer.
We use it for a few different things. We store our website content and text formatting. We also use it for our email content and for our email queries for automated email sending.
Easy enough for someone who isn't fluent in HTML, etc to use. The support is pretty good and mostly available when we need them. I am not part of the web development team, however, I was able to get in and work in ingeniux, manage pages, make updates, etc.
We had Issues with connections sometimes, the website being down, etc., however, customer service was always very helpful!
We are building new landing pages and updating pages for our site. Sometimes it takes our web development team a while to get edits done so it is nice that I am able to go into Ingeniux and make edits on my own and not have to wait for our team. Makes the turn around time much quicker.
I've really loved how we've integrated our own modules via github
refreshing our dev site, managing assets, some UI issues are pain point
being able to build custom modules for our designs and having other people be able to easily make pages
The hierarchy is easily seen, components can be easily shared and organized, publishing is fairly seamless, the support team is responsive and seems to answer fairly quickly, the learning curve is fairly short as well.
Support tickets often require the system to go offline, which is done during working hours and results in a productivity loss, assets cannot be re-named, certain components only work on certain pages which can be confusing, sometimes system is slow to respond/glitchy
The convergence of an old and new website, re-skinning website, to be able. To change the look fairly quickly. The new website(s) look great, and we were able to re-skin fairly seamlessly across all of the global sites
Easy to use interface that can be customized for multiple audiences.
The platform itself is a blank slate and takes a lot of configuration to get started. At times various browsers have issues working with aspects of the CMS interface.
We are able to solve communication issues.
The CMS is very user-friendly and easy to use. And the support staff at Ingeniux is very swift with support and always helpful and friendly.
I have yet to see much of a downside. The improvements that we have experienced from version 9 to 10 are night and day.
We provide websites for multiple state affiliates, and we can segregate each one from the others. This makes the user experience great and training their employees so much easier than before.
