Compare TYPO3 vs. Fork CMS

Typo3 is an established enterprise grade CMS built on PHP. In the past years they have struggled in their renewal project, but have since moved forward with Symfony components.

Fork CMS is a new take on PHP CMSes. Built on a contemporary base that is a customised version of the Symfony2 framework, this is a challenger to keep note of.

• A long heritage with solid basic concepts
• Large number of developers around the world
• Powerful admin UI for experienced users

• A fresh start, no legacy baggage
• A clean user interface
• Fully featured for marketing sites

• TYPO3 is in a technical transition phase
• Admin interface can be intimidating to newbies
• Decoupling (REST API), etc. strategy unclear

• Not a 100% standard Symfony Framework app
• Limited adoption
• Public REST APIs not a priority
