Compare Fork CMS vs. Open Orchestra

Fork CMS is a new take on PHP CMSes. Built on a contemporary base that is a customised version of the Symfony2 framework, this is a challenger to keep note of.

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 fresh start, no legacy baggage
• A clean user interface
• Fully featured for marketing sites

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

• Not a 100% standard Symfony Framework app
• Limited adoption
• Public REST APIs not a priority

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