Gartner recognises progress in its 2022 Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Platforms.
Progress was listed by Gartner as one of 16 illustrious vendors supplying DXPs in 2022. Revenue targets, regional reach, cloud deployment capabilities, and flexibility were all important considerations for the company. The positioning on the Magic Quadrant reflects not just the latest upgrades and features for Sitefinity DX, but also how clients are reacting to them and how greater attention to digital experiences has benefited their websites.
2022 was a year of improvement for Sitefinity.
Sitefinity DX 14 got numerous creative and useful enhancements during the year, giving partners and clients a wide range of content production options. A single blog post could not possibly do Sitefinity DX 14’s capabilities justice by attempting to cover all of them. Here are some of the main features:
When Sitefinity 14.1 was released, the focus was on improved.NET Core usability and capabilities. Sitefinity 14 previously used the.NET Framework, and.NET Core is its replacement. Users of Sitefinity can use.NET Core as a frontend-based framework tool to deliver cross- platform digital experiences while streamlining page creation and content editing procedures on-premises or in the cloud. Other significant improvements in the 14.1 edition included better Digital Asset Management (DAM) integration, which enables users to conveniently store and access digital assets like pictures or movies in a single spot. Compatibility with Azure Cognitive Search, which offers programmers infrastructure, APIs, and numerous tools for your website’s search components, is another feature.
A number of quality-of-life improvements for.NET Core, SiteSync usability, and improved content expiration notifications were included in the 14.2 release. However, Sitefinity Insight and Sitefinity Cloud integrations are covered by the two noteworthy upgrades in the 14.2 version.
Users of Sitefinity may now access detailed reports on the Top Pages based on audience groups and more precise Ucommerce integration through Insight. Regarding cloud improvements in the 14.2 version, Automated Workflows adds stronger, more precise content publishing workflows and achieves automation without the use of code. There are additional levels of security, availability, and performance advantages in the Content Delivery Network (CDN). With the addition of an AI- augmented security layer for efficiency, Security Information and Event Management offers real-time monitoring, threat detection, event analysis, and incident management.
Sitefinity 14.3 Enhances the Features Necessary for Digital Experience Toolkits
Significant enhancements to content creation and content distribution are included in Sitefinity 14.3. One of the newest features, Section Presets, makes it simple for content writers to reuse page layouts. The new content recommender, backed by AI and data analytics, will be welcomed by content producers and marketers. This tool makes recommendations based on prior customer interactions so that you don’t have to struggle with choosing content for customer journeys.
The new content delivery features have presumably been spotted by users. There are also improvements to internal search features and updates to Azure Cognitive Search. The ability to link a website’s FAQ page with NativeChat, however, is a noteworthy feature of 14.3. Customers also received.NET Core capability updates and a slew of security components on a regular basis.
What Can We Anticipate for 2023?
