Wagtail vs Plone

Although Wagtail comes with only the most basic features, it's by no means an incomplete CMS. It's very extendable and it's up to the developer to choose how to extend it.

Wagtail is a simple and lightweight CMS with the most basic and useful set of features baked in out of the box.

Wagtail has the perfect separation between developers and editors. It allows you to construct a site with minimal fuss with features like the awesome stream field and hand it over to virtually any content editor. You can build the site with no knowledge of Django and with the simple interface require no training to get started.

Although this will always require developer time, with 2 or 3 days you can quickly get up a boilerplate site that will fulfill 80% of any site you will develop. Leaving only the bespoke parts to do.

It also nicely slots into any Django project with no fuss.

Not only does this provides complete transparency to the user, it also enables a large base of developers to work simultaneously on solving any arising the issues and improving the platform.

Plone has been around for almost two decates and to date less than 50 vulnerabilities were discovered in the platform. That's at least ten times less than any of the popular alternatives, including Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla. In fact, government agencies, such as NASA and FBI use Plone for its high level of security.

Plone runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebooks, RaspberryPi, servers, and cloud services.

Plone platform along with all documentation is available in more than 40 languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew.
