DNN Evoq Engage

This is a content management system which is comprehensive in nature enabling you to create full professional websites based on the .NET protocol and Visual Studio Templates with built in JavaScript Libraries and controls and design patters which are resuable. The user interface is very intuitive to use and easy to learn quickly. There is digital asset management available makes it possible to work on any of your digital properties all from a central dashboard which is nice. The content editor is very easy to use and allows you to edit content on the fly. While you can check out a preview ongoing to see updates as you're working on them. There is a search engine optimization component and mobile support as well. You can enable users of your account to have various permissions and access in order to ensure the right people are staying focused and working on the right projects. The site is kept loading as quickly as possible with caching and dynamic load balancing. I like the content analytics and personalization features as well. There are useful integrations such as Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Marketo and cloud storage as well. In terms of customer engagement you have gamification option, advocate marketing and engagement analytics with a strong community aspect which enables answers, groups, blogs, discussions and a wiki module. There are quite a few other features as well making it quite a complete content management system overall.

The pricing is pretty much the only issue during my research and it is not provided on their website. You must request this pricing however by some accounts found elsewhere online it is several thousand dollars per year which is not viable for most startups including ours. So as much as I like the comprehensive nature and ease of use it's not in the plans to use it moving forward.

There are a lot of great things about this content management system and I certainly recommend taking a look at it during your research. If it's viable for your company and you have all of your content and products prepared it very well may speed up your process to get to market. I find it easier to navigate and use than Wordpress actually which is my go to CMS. However based on the pricing and my vast experience with Wordpress it has to remain my top choice in terms of extensibility and cost efficiency as it would be tougher to justify a return on investment using Evoq Content or Engage currently.
