How do Drupal and WordPress stack up against Sitecore, Kentico, and Sitefinity?

If you’ve ever wondered how other CMS platforms compare—whether it’s cost, flexibility, performance, or ease for content editors—this session is for you. Join Sandstorm experts Emily Kodner and Amanda Heberg, along with Seb Rodriguez from Pantheon, as we explore the pros and cons of today’s most popular CMS options.

We’ll take a practical look at open source platforms like Drupal and WordPress alongside leading .NET solutions including Sitecore, Sitefinity, and Kentico—so you can feel confident in your next tech decision.

We’ll tackle the key questions digital teams are asking today:

  • How does total cost of ownership stack up over time?
  • How does the content editor experience compare?
  • How secure is open source?
  • What are the trade-offs between all-in-one platforms vs. best-of-breed integrations?

Plus, we’ll share real-world case studies from organizations that made the switch—and haven’t looked back.
