## Reviews

### "Un parfait équilibre entre technologie et expérience utilisateur" — 5.0/5

> **Etienne** | *14 December 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Apostrophe CMS est avant tout un framework qui repose sur des technologies web avancées et performantes (NodeJs, MongoDB) et apporte une expérience d'édition en contexte très appréciable. Il permet tout aussi bien de créer rapidement des sites web simples à l'aide des fonctionnalités CMS existantes, que des plate-formes importantes comme nous avons eu l'occasion de le faire chez Michelin.
> 
> **Cons**: La stack technologique sous-jacente demande des profils développeurs relativement senior même si l'usage JavaScript front/back est un atout important.
> 
> En trois ans, ApostropheCMS a permis à MICHELIN de reconstruire entièrement une plateforme web d'ampleur mais aussi d'en internaliser le développement en passant d'un modèle captif de technologies propriétaires à un écosystème open-source.
