Compare eZ Platform vs. Open Orchestra

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.

Open Orchestra is an Open Source CMS built on the full stack framework. For database it uses a MongoDB, a NoSQL store rather than the more typical Relational Databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.

• 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

• Full Stack Symfony implementation with focus on code quality
• NoSQL MongoDB backend allows high performance
• Clean admin UI with drag & drop layout management

• 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

• Fairly unknown and not widely adopted
• Quite dependent on the efforts of a single company
• Documentation not the best (REST API, for example)
