Compare TYPO3 vs. Kunstmaan

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.

Kunstmaan Agency has created a number of Symfony2 Framework Bundles to enable developers to create web applications with CMS features. It's not a complete product in itself, but offers flexibility for skilled developers to create easy to use site experiences for content creators.

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

• Flexible, choose only what you need and adjust to your needs
• Uses standard Symfony Framework structure and development practises
• Can be integrated into existing Symfony2 applications

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

• Limited adoption outside of Kunstmaan
• A bit hard to purchase, because it's a collection of components rather than a complete product
• Future roadmap a questionmark
