Compare Fork CMS vs. Thunder CMS

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.

Thunder is a Drupal 8 distribution specialised for media houses. It is initially developed by Burda, a German media company, who is now seeking to get other members on the project.

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

• Everything included
• Relatively modern architecture
• Easy to get started

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

• Coupling on pre-packaged product
• One size fits all - a lot of choices have been made
• Unsure future with being a new distribution
