Compare WordPress vs. Kunstmaan

WordPress is not a very modern PHP CMS and does not use Symfony or other components. It is very popular and earns it's position in the listing of Symfony CMSes.

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.

• Very popular
• Good usability
• Vibrant community

• 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

• Shoddy code quality
• Relies on 3rd party plugins a lot
• A weak security trackrecord, partly due to plugins

• 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
