Compare eZ Platform vs. Symfony CMF

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.

As a Content Management Framework Symfony CMF is not a complete CMS product, but more of a framework to build your own CMS on top of. This makes it stand out from the crowd.

• 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 Framework Implementation
• Flexibility in design alowing tailored experiences
• Can be embedded into existing Symfony applications

• 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

• Longer time to market than with CMS
• Content editor experience easily compromised
• Smaller community than CMSes
