Compare Symfony CMF vs. Craft 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.

Craft CMS is a new player in the PHP CMS field. It does not use Symfony components, but is a popular and more modern option for WordPress.

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

• Superb usability
• Focus on content management
• Clean code base

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

• Limited adoption
• Not a part of a larger ecosystem (like Symfony)
• Coding style is a bit old school PHP
