Why dotCMS?

With lots of CMSs on the market, what are some of the features that set dotCMS apart?

Build on a platform that is as simple as you need it to be and as flexible as you want it to be

dotCMS has a lot of functionality available out of the box.

But also gives developers the tools to integrate with and customize the application as required with REST and GraphQL APIs as well as the ability to create custom endpoints to support your specific use cases.

One place for all your applications and brands

With multi-tenant capabilities and fine-grained permission management, dotCMS can run multiple websites or applications, each with its own branding, users and content and reduce the number of systems you’re maintaining.

Give the keys to your marketing team to manage and publish content

Even if you want to deploy dotCMS headlessly, marketing teams can still be in control of content authoring, layout design, workflow creation and content modeling without any developer assistance.

Don’t worry about maintenance and upgrades with dotCMS Cloud

Your business critical sites run on our containerized infrastructure with 24/7/365 monitoring and up to 99.98% uptime.

Upgrades are seamless and security patches are rolled out as soon as they become available to ensure you always have the latest and greatest features.

Rest easy knowing that security is baked in

Ensuring your data is safe and sound is our top priority, that’s why dotCMS is SOC2 (Type 2) and ISO27001:2022 certified and has the highest security standards and policies in place to protect the confidentiality and availability of your infrastructure and data.
