What do you like best about the product?
Our experience with Solodev replacing our old, outdated website at volusiasheriff.org was excellent. The responsiveness and speed of staff and the quick access to help whenever we need it are some of the best aspects of working with Solodev. Whenever we want to add a new feature, or need help with an existing one, we can count on a quick response from Solodev support and a resolution that works.
What do you dislike about the product?
There has been no downside so far. Solodev has met or exceeded every expectation and done everything we've asked throughout the process of launching a new website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to launch a more nimble website that is easier to update with new information when needed. That allows us to share timely news, highlight certain stories or issues when they're most relevant, and keep our residents informed with a few clicks.

Exceptional Content Management System Platform and Great Customer Support.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The customer support for this platform has been exceptional. Very timely and helpful responses to any of our troubleshooting issues. They go above and beyond to make sure your needs with the platform are met.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, our experience with Solodev has been very positive. As a developer, the documentation could be more in-depth and expanded to cover more uncommon troubleshooting issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team has been modernizing a collection of old web applications to a new cloud environment. Solodev makes it possible to update these websites efficiently and make them user-friendly to people who have never used a CMS before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understanding AWS makes setting up Solodev much more manageable, but they have an excellent support staff to guide you through any issues you may run into.

Great Communication, Superior Design, and Easy to use!
Reviewed on Jan 19, 2022
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like the best would absolutely be how easy it is to update content/information. The ability to have our individual departments manage their own pages because the system is plug and play. I no longer have to worry about my team messing up the look of individual pages. The system takes care of that and is so easy to use!
What do you dislike about the product?
My least favorite thing so far is that now that my website is live I have to publish in two places in order for content to immediately show up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The use of a module for staff is really going to help us minimize the issue of an outdated staff list and provide a great directory! The NEWS module is a feature that we look forward to helping get stories out about our district before anyone else has the opportunity to. The calendar module gives our community a great way to sort our events to find the information they are looking for. The I Want To Module is already a big favorite of the community as well. The superior design makes it so easy for our community to find what they are looking for. They have also been absolutely fantastic with communication from the design team to the back-end developers when we have something that needs so be tweaked.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to create a whole new look and feel for your website I would HIGHLY recommend Solodev. They gave us a superior design, listened to what our needs were, and completed the job in a very rigorous timeline.

What do you like best about the product?
Fantastic company that is very hands-on with their customers and really goes the extra mile to make sure they find custom solutions to meet the goals you have with their platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have not had many negative things to say about Solodev since we started using their platform. The only thing I would like to see more of as a developer is a more in-depth documentation and walkthrough guides to service problems independently. As a smaller company, the price to get the full support suite was a bit steep, so maybe a pay-as-you-go support model for when you need it would really put their services to the next level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building a full suite of old websites being modernized to a new cloud environment for our customer. They have never used a CMS before to edit content on their websites, and Solodev has sped up the review and collaboration process for making changes. With Solodev, what used to take a week to bring a new page online can now be done in a fraction of the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are not familiar with the AWS environment, setting up Solodev will be challenging. The getting started guide helps, but we ran into problems multiple times when standing up a stack. If you pay for their support package, the support team at Solodev will get you running and answer any questions very quickly and effectively.
