Sitecore

Sitecore is much more complex to implement and takes much longer to deploy. Some Sitecore projects have been in development for 1-2 years before going live.

Non-technical users find it difficult to use Sitecore. The user interface is not intuitive, and many components are configured via parameters, making it hard for marketers to know what they’ve changed. 

Sitecore’s headless approach is less mature, less scalable, and may require rebuilding from scratch.

Sitecore’s packaged solution is complex, inflexible, and difficult to integrate with third-party technologies. Built through acquisition, it can be challenging to integrate Sitecore products with each other. Some users report needing to spend on development to complete internal integrations.

Sitecore only supports development approaches with ASP.NET C# and Headless. Sitecore requires a specialized, niche skill set - simply knowing .NET is not enough.

Complex commercial pricing model makes it difficult to scale and anticipate costs as business needs change.
