What do you think of Vignette ver6 or ver7 CMS?
Anyone used Vignette ver6 or ver7 CMS to manage a website? What do you think of the product? Is it easier to use compared to other web content management solutions you haved used in the past?
It is a brutal way to do it. Vignette is purely vapor ware and gives you nothing. Imagine you wanted a chair and Vignette was the vendor. You would pay them huge $$ and they would drop you off at Home Depot and say "everything you need is there".
It is hugely complicated to setup and maintain. Has no security on the web pages (NTLM). Once cached anyone can look at it. It is not scalable in anyway. The plugin has huge overhead. You need the CMS, the DB, CDS, and web servers. No redundancy in the CMS for fail over. Lots of issues with the creation of phantom servers.
It was a terrible experience and I wasted 2 years on it with the company. Would run screaming from anyone that wanted it and would not even put it on my resume. Avoid at all costs !

Please don’t use vignette …its not very good and its expensive…there are plenty of free solutions out there that are just as good or even better , drupal is a great example , there is also plenty of commerical support for drupal such as lullabot,
wordpress is also very good if you only want a blog and a few pages , all of these links are in the sources list
