Agility CMS is easy to use and simple, but can complete difficult tasks
Agility CMS is fluid and the learning curve is easy to pick up on. The layout and where to find pages, assets, and code, makes it fast to locate what you need to find. The customer service is top-notch as well!
Dilike? Agility CMS creates a gap between developers and digital marketers. It's great if you know HTML, CSS, and Javascript, but to tap into more advanced coding to create more dynamic pages, it would require some assistance on developers' end.
There are lots of ways you can make your website versatile in bought design and functionality.
Work with Agility & their support groups, and you will be able to achieve anything that you have in mind.
Agility CMS allows us to manage our content with ease. With a robust business, we have to be organized as we generate tons of content on a daily basis. Agility CMS makes it easy for us to manage everything in one spot.

The Agility CMS is a simple tool that can be learned quickly. I use it to manage our department's intranet pages. I like the tools and features it offers to quickly build web pages. It also allows you to add headlines and helpful links at the bottom of each page, which are nice tools.
I wish it were easier to link to a bookmark on the same page instead of adding the #bookmark to the end of the URL manually. I don't think this is intuitive and would prefer the "link" button allow the option to link to a bookmark as well as a file.

Agility was everything we were looking for in a CMS
It was easy to get set up and easy to use. I was able to create a basic page template and get a web site up in a matter of hours. Creating content definitions and modules for maintaining your website data is also really simple. If you need more complex data types features like Custom Fields you can create whatever you need.
I wouldn't say this is necessarily a dislike, but it would be nice if creating content for a dynamic page was done in a way that was similar to the module structure of a static page.
It has made the easier for data creators and designers to work more independently on our site.

The combination of built-in features and front-end flexibility have been great. There's a significant productivity boost compared to our old CMS. The ability to review edits immediately after making them has been an asset. The global search functionality has also enhanced productivity. Being able to batch upload images has been a great help, too.
There are certain features that require more steps than should be necessary, but overall, that's a very minor complaint and highly likely something that could be fixed with how we've set up our instance.
The combination of built-in features combined with the cloud hosting, and the language agnostic front-end is what really appealed to us.
We're moving our dependency away from IT and more toward marketing. The benefits are the ability to add components and features without bothering IT. The flexibility over our previous CMS is substantial. Being able to edit and review in real time has been a huge benefit over our former CMS.

Great CMS for building a website from the ground up
We researched so many CMS options when we decided to rebuild our website. We ultimately chose Agility. It was a standout in terms of flexibility, ease of use, cost, and good basic built-in structure. It is has been easy to build out the components we need to express our content in ways that best suit our audience.
If you have an in-house team and want to build a website yourself--this is the CMS to use. We evaluated so many headless options and found that this was by far the best solution for the price, service provided, and back-end and front end usability.
Our current website was not meeting the needs of our internal and external clients. It was difficult to make changes or add new features to the site without heavy IT involvement. We needed a website back-end that would give our Marketing team more autonomy to make changes without always getting IT involved.

“Agility: The CMS Of Your Dreams”
Overall: I'm managing two of my clients website using agility, it has great API integration and it makes building pages really easy with its prebuilt modules and stuff. Staging links are a great way to share the pages without having to go live. It reduced significantly the time it took us to get a website running.
Pros: I love about agility how it has every tool and functionality you need to manage a whole website organized in a single dashboard. It has great prebuilt stuff to start creating your website. I also like it file system, you can use it for your site and emails. It has great costumer support too.
Cons: I think there should be easier to customize the templates that it gives you. And sometimes when you override files it sometimes takes a lot of time to show in the website which has caused me trouble before.

Agility can handle the data!
Agility CMS was a vital part of transitioning our website and it's functionality to the next level. The team works effectively with you along your journey to get your CMS exactly how you need it to be.
Pros: The robust nature of the CMS let's us control how we want to promote over 25 years of content, with minimal limitations.
Cons: I wish we had a more constant point of reference who is familiar with our customizations.

Solid Content Management Platform
The support team has been available 24/7 and very response for any questions we may have and when we have to deal with urgent matters - doesn't matter what the ask is, good or bad, the team is there to help support us and our development partners.
Pros: The ease of using the platform, the integration abilities with third-party tools - super developer friendly. We're able to connect through APIs with our development partners to have data flow from our database through the CMS, content to the app.
Cons: There are limitations to the platform, like anything out there - and so not everything is baked into the CMS but we're able to get around that and still connect through APIs to get the data that we need. To get enhancements to the platform we know it takes a long time to get them, as it affects the entire platform, so this is another reason why we do tend to look for API integrations.

I do not have to worry about whether our website is properly indexed on search engines or the back-end programming is up-to-date. I can concentrate on content and keeping my website updated.
Pros: Agility is a very flexible platform for developpers, offering a way to easily create CMS content for any kind of website. The built-in photo editor, the easily searchable media & documents are great for keeping track of anything we put online. Agility CMS update their software frequenltly with new features.
Cons: As an editor, this is a software that is best used by someone who is familiar with products like Wordpress. It is not intuitive enough for someone who has very little knowledge of the web to use.
