Compare Symfony CMF vs. Bolt CMS

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.

Bolt CMS is a lightweight CMS built with the Silex Microframework. It is well built and a great alternative for developers looking for a modern PHP system to replace WordPress, for example.

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

• Clean architecture built with Silex, very easy to learn
• Standard components for Forms and Database
• Clean purpose, not trying to solve every problem

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

• Developer availability compared to WP
• Extensibility for multilingual, etc. depends on extensions
• Limited community size
