Compare Pimcore vs. Symfony CMF

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.

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.

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

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

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

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