We have been using DX since early 2000s and been very happy with the product. The recent shift to Kubernetes has served us very well. It was a bit of a hassle to manage in a Farm-setup compared to Kubernetes.

HCL Digital Experience Likes & Dislikes

Like

Steady, stable and feature rich. A very mature product with way more services than we need.

Like

The support is good and attentive, the product is mostly stable and the technologies used are well known.

Like

HCL DX has a very strong content management system. The Digital Asset Manager has a lot of features. Integration capability with any data source. API first approach makes the tool highly customizable. Granular role-based access management provides a high degree of access control.

Dislike

Limited deep technical support. When deploying to OpenShift, it is still somewhat monolithic in nature. Struggle with being a very mature product from the late 1990s.

Dislike

The product is very outdated: search capabilities are at least 15 years behind, layout and design feel very old, customization options are very limited and content curation and suggestions are non-existent. But the really weak link is search.

Dislike

The product user interface is not up to the latest trends and feels dated. Requires more features to reduce development time. Need tools to improve efficiency of end users and provide them options to rollout new digital experience faster
