SCALE WITHOUT FRICTION

Break free from Kentico’s upgrades.

With Sitecore AI, innovation no longer waits on upgrades. By moving intelligence beyond the CMS, your teams can launch personalized campaigns in days, not months.
KENTICO'S COMPLEXITY IS HOLDING YOU BACK 

Get scalable enterprise upgrades with greater flexibility.

Kentico struggles to keep pace with the demands of modern enterprises. Its dated architecture and limited scalability force teams into complex customizations and workarounds just to achieve basic functionality. Combined with the trap of constant upgrades, you're stuck re-working your content and paying high maintenance costs.

SitecoreAI: Simplicity. Freedom. Speed. Power.

SitecoreAI empowers global marketing teams to rapidly launch high-impact campaigns and experiences, personalize content for any audience, and optimize every digital touchpoint. With an intuitive, intelligent platform powered by agentic AI, you can move faster, scale smarter, and deliver the results that matter. All for one all-inclusive price.

THE FORRESTER WAVE™ - EVEN BEFORE SITECOREAI

Don't take our word for it.

Sitecore leapfrogged its position on the Forrester Wave, landing a spot as a Leader even before SitecoreAI was announced.

Now imagine where they’ll land next round.

Simply put: Sitecore is making waves with its clear vision for agentic digital experiences, and now with SitecoreAI you have one unified platform with built-in global scalability.

It’s ok to explore.  

We get it—Kentico got you up and running without the enterprise overhead. But as your digital ambitions grow, its limitations become clear. Custom modules can only go so far, while constant upgrades, maintenance, and looming end-of-life drain resources and slow innovation. It's time to move to a modern DXP that keeps pace with your enterprise and delivers the experiences your customers expect. 

Don't do it alone.

While you may shop for a new platform once every several years, we've done this every day for the past 23 years. Our team of experts bring their decades of digital legacy to strategically guide you through your transition to ensure you're set up for long-term success.

SitecoreAI vs Kentico

Kentico promises simplicity with its all-in-one approach, but that simplicity hides rigidity, customization overhead, and slow time-to-market with a heavy reliance on development cycles. Compare it to SitecoreAI, and see for yourself how you can unlock your teams to release global, personalized content quickly and intelligently.

  • Unified orchestration

    All the disparate systems of DAM, CDP, and Personalize are pulled together to work in orchestrated harmony. Not to be confused with a monolithic platform like Kentico, this unified platform is what sets the foundation of an agentic framework that streamlines your workflows. 

  • Built-in AI

    AI natively built into the platform, not bolted on with third-party integrations. With content & data under one roof, Sitecore’s 20 pre-built agents – with access to more in the Marketplace – act as digital teammates to draft and optimize within your brand standards, approval processes, and governance.

  • Open & extensible

    You don’t need to be stuck with Tridion’s monolithic all-in-one platform. With SitecoreAI, you can make the platform your own with third-party connectors. It’s a composed platform that’s flexible and built to move with you. 

  • Built for marketers

    Simply put: Kentico isn’t built for marketers. SitecoreAI is made for how marketers work: intuitive navigation, connected workflows, and AI assistance that adapts to you – allowing you to launch campaigns in days, not weeks.

  • Security you can trust

    Kentico relies on traditional patching and manual updates to stay secure, which can expose you to risks if not maintained diligently. SitecoreAI offers always-on security built to accommodate traffic spikes and global reach. 

  • Instant scalability

    SitecoreAI delivers instant scalability across the enterprise, backed with governance tools to ensure compliance. Kentico works well for mid-market brands but often requires extra infrastructure to handle enterprise complexity.
