Kentico Xperience 13 (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes
The intuitive interface makes curating high quality content effortlessly aligned with our audience interests.
I do like the ability to create custom database tables for forms in the CMS through the administrative interface. The CMS seems to be highly customizable but only through backend coding and development. I also like the ability to see error messages in the event log application.
Support is professional and abudant, with countless resources, forums, and knowledgeable users ready to help at any time.
It does take several steps to effectively set up your criterias and rules.
1. Requiring recompilation of the application to accommodate many changes. 2. Having to code or build out functionality to create web pages that are typically available in many other CMS providers. 3. Not being able to easily see differences or changes in the version history of a web page.
Because sometimes it can be resource-intensive it may need powerful server resources.

Very disappointed in Kentico 13 MVC compared to Kentico 12 Portal engine
I have been quite disappointed with Kentico 13, especially when compared to Kentico 12 Portal. It feels like a step backward than an upgrade. One major issue is the need to recompile the application for any code changes, which leads to downtime and is a serious inconvenience for our team. Additional, creating custom page types with different layouts requires backend development, which adds unnecessary complexity. Even something simple as adding a global css file across all pages recompiling the application, further complicating the workflows. From my perspective, there don't seem to be any noticeable improvements from Kentico 12 Portal to Kentico 13 MVC. To make matters worse, Kentico no longer supports the older version, which forced us into upgrading. If continued support for Kentico 12 were available, we wouldn't have made the switch at all. Overall, I'm quite frustrated with the experience, and I would have preferred staying on Kentico 12 Portal if that had been an option. - WEBSITE PROJECT LEAD<50M USDBankingReview Source
