Compare Open Orchestra vs. WordPress

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.

WordPress is not a very modern PHP CMS and does not use Symfony or other components. It is very popular and earns it's position in the listing of Symfony CMSes.

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

• Very popular
• Good usability
• Vibrant community

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

• Shoddy code quality
• Relies on 3rd party plugins a lot
• A weak security trackrecord, partly due to plugins
