Kentico CMS is a powerful, flexible & complete content management system that is built with ASP.NET.
It has various modules that make building any type of website possible from blogs to e-commerce or wikis to social networking.


The application comes with an easy-to-use WYSIWYG editor for creating/editing the content.
One of the unique features Kentico offers is the worklow management. It allows you to control the process of content creation & modifications by creating custom approval steps (like proofreading, editing, approval, etc.).
Kentico is multilingual & can manage multiple websites from the same administrator panel.
It has an API that allows you to script any Kentico CMS operation (like creating a new document, user or even the whole web site) which is great for integrations with any 3rd party software. On the other hand, with the modules integrated, there is almost no extra function needed. Here are all the modules it offers:
  • Blogs
  • Booking system
  • Content Rating
  • Content Staging
  • E-commerce
  • Event calendar
  • Forums
  • Friends
  • Geomapping
  • Groups
  • Image Gallery
  • Media Library
  • Message Boards
  • Messaging
  • Newsletter
  • On-line Forms
  • Polls
  • Reporting
  • Taxonomy
  • Wiki
  • Web Farm Support
  • Web Analytics
which simply show what the application is capable of.
And, these are not all it has. Kentico generates SEO-friendly URLs, has full-text search support, a powerful role-based security system & much more..
Besides the paid versions, it offers a limited free version which is ideal for smaller websites. The free edition have no time limitation & can be used even for commercial purposes with no additional cost. It can be downloaded from here.

Kentico CMS is reliable and stable product & I didn’t came to any bug. But if that occurs, the company promises to fix it within 7 working days, furthermore they plant a tree in the name of the client who finds the bug. You can read more about this interesting initiative here.
The product can be evaluated by downloading the TRIAL or FREE editions. Other way is to use the Virtual Lab service which allows you to test-drive Kentico CMS on-line, without installing anything on your local PC.
