Compare Open Orchestra vs. Kunstmaan

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.

Kunstmaan Agency has created a number of Symfony2 Framework Bundles to enable developers to create web applications with CMS features. It's not a complete product in itself, but offers flexibility for skilled developers to create easy to use site experiences for content creators.

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

• Flexible, choose only what you need and adjust to your needs
• Uses standard Symfony Framework structure and development practises
• Can be integrated into existing Symfony2 applications

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

• Limited adoption outside of Kunstmaan
• A bit hard to purchase, because it's a collection of components rather than a complete product
• Future roadmap a questionmark
