The Info-Tech Research Group recently completed a comparison of nine market leading Web Content Management (WCM) solutions for small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs). The evaluation included two Java-based solutions: Magnolia and Serena Software's Collage. The evaluation examines specific strengths and weaknesses of these tools to determine their suitability for an organization implementing a WCM system.
This research note outlines several key points, including:
- The vendor/project's position in the world of WCM offerings.
- A description of the Java-based WCM solutions.
- Specific product strengths and challenges for each solution.
There are several Java-based WCM offerings for SMEs. Serena Software offers a commercial selection and Magnolia is an open source option. Info-Tech placed Serena Software's Collage in the Competitor Zone. Magnolia remains a challenger but has considerable potential.
