Why teams move away from Sitecore
Sitecore was built for a different era of the web
Today’s teams need speed, flexibility, and composability, without outdated systems slowing them down.
-
-
Rigid templates
Sitecore's complex models limit agility and slow content delivery.
-
Heavy reliance on developers
Marketers working with Sitecore can't make changes independently or efficiently.
Plus, the long setup and release cycles delay campaign launch and go-to-market.
-
High costs
Sitecore's high licensing and infrastructure costs drive the total cost of ownership (TCO) up.
-
High maintenance, higher risk
With Sitecore, ongoing maintenance and complex upgrades are unavoidable. This also increases security risks, making it a poor fit for enterprises that need speed and reliability.
