Compare Pimcore vs. Grav

Pimcore is a CMS whose development started in 2009. Originally the Content Management System was built on the Zend PHP Framework, but the system will switch to the Symfony full stack framework.

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.

• Solid feature set beyond regular CMS features
• Commercial backing
• Quality codebase

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

• New product version can be risky
• Limited adoption
• Can be too "heavy" for simple sites

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