Compare Open Orchestra vs. Symfony CMF

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.

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.

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

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

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

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