Compare Bolt CMS vs. eZ Platform

Bolt CMS is a lightweight CMS built with the Silex Microframework. It is well built and a great alternative for developers looking for a modern PHP system to replace WordPress, for example.

eZ Platform is a CMS built on the Symfony Framework. It is powerful and a total rewrite of the eZ Publish system in development from 1999.

• Clean architecture built with Silex, very easy to learn
• Standard components for Forms and Database
• Clean purpose, not trying to solve every problem

• A full implementation on the Symfony Full Stack Framework
• Fully featured out of the box, media library, multilingual, multisite...
• Integrated Solr powered search ensures scalability

• Developer availability compared to WP
• Extensibility for multilingual, etc. depends on extensions
• Limited community size

• Limited number of ready made extensions
• Some bugs in the UI layer in the first version
• Learning curve for "old school" PHP developers without OOP experience
