The was each component is configurable is a real game changer. Build it once and reuse many times. Plus our team does not have to ask a developer each time they want something simple done. The Hooks engine allows non tech people to create automation and improve the experience for our users. It has no plugins, everything is within the platform. > > **Cons**: Can't say there are any. We did not understand the full extent of what we could do with the system at the start. > > We wanted a site we could update regularly without technical support, we wanted it to work well for search, especially to load super fast. ----- ### "Core dna enabled our digital transformation" — 5.0/5 > **Shad** | *24 February 2023* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Core dna solution is so powerful that we were really only limited by our imagination in terms of what we could do. The platform made it easy for our product teams to do their work and cut our time to market by 50%\! The headless and API first architecture allowed us to push content between multiple channels and save a ton of time and money on those efforts. > > **Cons**: As with most any solution and especially one this powerful, it took time to get fully up to speed on how best to use it and deploy the functionality. Once we mastered this though, it was an awesome tool for our use. > > One of the things that really set Core dna apart, aside from their tech, was the support we received. Their team was always willing to jump in and help. This direct engagement help get our team's mastery of the system complete much faster than we anticipated. If we had issues or discovered something wasn't working they were on top of it and communicated in a timely way. ----- ### "what we use and like" — 5.0/5 > **Maureen** | *1 March 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are a low end user but find we are able to do what we need and there is always support available > > **Cons**: There are aspects that appear to be not as user friendly as the Microsoft products we use every day but we have leant to adapt over the years. It does what we need at our very rudimentary level. > > Experience has always been very positive the team are very supportive and available to assist as needed. Could not fault the service delivery ----- ### "A Powerful CMS Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Hasan** | *17 February 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most is that we've been able to cater this CMS platform to suit our businesses needs and requirements. We've had templates built and components created which has made publishing projects on the platform a breeze\! > > **Cons**: There really isn't anything we dislike about the platform. It performs excellently and does exactly what we need it to do. > > We're a long-standing customer of Coredna and our overall experience is exceptional. The team are fantastic and are there to assist with all our requirements. Together we collaborate to achieve the best results and outcomes. ----- ### "Great Way to Manage my Franchise Locations" — 4.0/5 > **Jason** | *26 January 2016* > > Our business had multiple franchise locations which each targeted a slightly different market. Core dna's franchise application made it easy to give each location its own content with location specific news, blogs and e-commerce. All locations were managed from the same dashboard and I could allow each location's marketing director to manage their own content well maintaining brand consistency. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/115923/core-dna) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
