Compare Open Orchestra vs. Grav

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.

Grav is a fresh flat-file database which is easy to install. It uses a number of Symfony components and is very fast to get started with.

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

• Fast to install and get started with
• Extensible via Plugins, Skeletons and Themes
• A fresh codebase, no PHP4 cruft here

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

• Limited use cases due to flat-file approach
• Limited developer base
• Needs more work to round the edges in real-world use
