Compare Symfony CMF vs. Thunder 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.

Thunder is a Drupal 8 distribution specialised for media houses. It is initially developed by Burda, a German media company, who is now seeking to get other members on the project.

• Flexibility in design alowing tailored experiences
• Can be embedded into existing Symfony applications
