1C-Bitrix vs UMI.CMS or racially loyal holivar popular boxed CMS
In the topic will talk about which of the systems (1C: Bitrix or UMI.CMS) is better for creating an online store based on the box with demons.
There are systems, there is a task, there are subjects and there are numerical criteria. There is a pivot table and comments of those who compared.
There is no playing along with the participants, juggling with facts and other jeans.
The experiment was conducted as part of my teaching a course on web technologies at VolgGTU. To perform the work, a dedicated server of the company in which I work was used, in addition to the state university.
For especially corrosive comrades, I’ll make a reservation that the company is Bitrix Gold Partner and has a lot of points from Yumi.
Representatives of each of the systems with which I am familiar (Kotyrev, Ryzhikov, Sidorenko, Solonchuk) will learn about the details and the results of the study from this topic. I don’t trade in research, it’s interesting for me to support the industry.
Before minus topic for the fact that it is about the box systems that you may not like, read it. Or just pass by.
There is no agitation, there is analysis.
So, the task-system-criteria-test-result.
As part of the laboratory work on usability and hosting, I gave students links to distribution kits of systems, hosting, minimal instructions. They had to deliver demo or trial versions of the online store, work on them as site administrators, evaluate convenience, create a report.
The parameters studied are the criteria: the functionality of the demo solutions, convenience, quality, clarity from the point of view of several roles: the administrator who puts the site, the user-buyer, the content manager and the administrator of the control panel.
The quality of the systems was not evaluated as development platforms, the quality of the code was not directly evaluated (although it is indirectly visible by the number of installation problems and stability).
Not evaluated the process of stretching your design. Just what is said.

Make a report.
The report must include passwords to the systems.
Student's assessment does not depend on his sympathies for a particular system. You can put at least all -2 (very bad) in the columns, if you can argue it. I will reduce the score for the hack and superficial approach. The main thing is analysis and argumentation.

su12. ***. en / s12_umi TRnvFHm2
sb12. ***. en / s12_bitrix fKlGrbSb
As it has already become clear, this is a test version of competing systems with demons available for download. According to the principle of fair play, all participants in equal conditions, did not warn anyone about anything, the server was equally ready to receive both systems.

Each student compiled a report of such a structure and derived the average value of the rating of each system for each indicator.
Numerical indicators were estimated from -2 to 2 on the so-called "expectations scale".
-2 - significantly worse than expected, very bad
-1 - worse than expected, bad
0 - the job was not completed due to technical reasons or did not start
1 - meets expectations, well
2 - significantly better than expected, very good
Each rating must be reasoned with at least 1 phrase.

These are 11 students of the 5th course of the Faculty of Electronics and Computer Engineering, quite normal. Some were familiar with the web, but had not previously encountered any of the systems.
It is strange that some did not immediately cope with the installation of systems on the server. Honestly, I had nothing to do with it, before I gave the task, I put each system under student rights and did the work.
The task was issued to 11 people. 3 scored, the rest did. Someone quickly and immediately, someone seemed to be dragging tulle through blackberry bushes - but I received reports.
8 reports. I quote points assigned to systems and comments.
Representatives of each of the systems, if they are interested, I will send an archive with reports. There are comments on each problem and motivation of ratings.
Long puzzled how to show statistics so that everything was clear. I present my attempts to create a visual diagram.
In the rows - indicators. Each was rated on a scale of -2 to 2 each student for each system. The indicator describes one consumer property of the system under study. For simplicity, all indicators are considered equilibrium.
There are 2 groups of columns: Yumi and Bitrix, respectively. Within each group of columns, marks are given by each of the 8 students. In some places there are zeros (a student made such an assessment), in some places omissions (the task was understood by students unequally).
For the analysis, the average for each indicator for each system, the average for the student and the average for the system in general are calculated.
The winners in each nomination are highlighted in bold, the scores for clarity are painted in red and green colors.
The results are obvious.
It seems to me that the advantages and disadvantages of the systems, which appeared in these conditions, are quite visible.
Bitrix
Quality product from professionals. The first acquaintance with him left
pleasant impression. If there are any flaws in the system, you can close them
eyes looking at the provided functionality and power.
Liked:
• easy editing mode;
• documentation;
• demonstration set of goods;
• functional;
• design;
Did not like:
• general “complexity” of the administrative panel (documentation helps, but is lost
time);
• the way of defining the data template for the product is not obvious;
UMI.CMS
A promising CMS, but not very impressive against Bitrix.
Liked:
• fairly simple creation of data templates;
• design;
• functional;
Did not like:
• demonstration set of goods;
• edit mode (F2);
• congestion of the administrative interface;
Selection
If I had to develop an online store, then I would choose Bitrix, let
5% percent of Bitrix features will be applied to the problem being solved, but experience
with such a system is very valuable.
When installing UMI, I immediately made a pleasant impression. By the time Bitrix was delivered, I had already managed to look around with the appearance, try adding / deleting goods and news.
With Bitrix there were difficulties only during installation and sometimes when searching for the necessary items in the admin panel, but in general the system did not cause any difficulties.
Sometimes they strained timeout errors 504, but this is probably the fault of the hosting.
In Bitrix, only the spelling mistake in the word Registered surprised.
If you had a choice, you would agree to work with both systems.
Bitrix
When working with this CMS, I liked that you can add any site components to edit when editing a page. I liked the convenience and functionality of the administrative panel interface. Very quickly, you can build on Bitrix a whole information portal. We are also pleased with the good informational support, both for developers and for users on the Bitrix support site (the presence of video and text courses, divided by modules and with good examples).
UMI.CMS
When working with this CMS, I liked the ability to edit the page on the fly, this feature allows you to see what the page will look like after editing, right during editing. There is a nice opportunity to add notes to the page. The lack of additional functionality in the administration panel upset, as well as the lack of a tree structure in the administration panel.
My choice
If I had the task to develop an online store, then I would choose Bitrix as a platform, for the reason that it has everything that could satisfy the customer, and I would not need to write my code when I needed it. Summing up, I’ll say Bitrix is ​​worth the money they’re asking for.
1C-Bitrix.
A convenient system that provides a huge number of opportunities for managing the site. However, working with it is hampered by the fact that, to put it mildly, it slows down in edit mode (unlike the same UMI.CMS). But the administration panel is smart here and is suitable for those who like to work with the tree structure of the menu.
In editing mode, the system works quickly, which makes life easier for the administrator. But the administration panel itself is poorer in capabilities than in 1C-Bitrix. The local file manager makes life even harder, for example, when adding photos of a product (and this is one of the most important and frequently repeated operations).
It is difficult to say which system I would work with if there was a choice: they are still good in their own way. But considering what a surprise UMI.CMS prepared for me during installation, I would stop at 1C-Bitrix (this is more reliable).
Bitrix:
The system is good. It has a rich functionality. But the internet toli I stupid, the web hosting was such. Working with the site was very hard. (Maybe I didn’t figure out what can be configured). Very long feedback. Frequent breaks of communication (error 504). Long page editing mode is included. The inclusion of this mode is beautiful but not very convenient. In edit mode, you can safely navigate around the site.
UMI-cms:
An interesting system. Editing with the F2 button is very convenient in contrast to the bitrix. Worked more brightly (although it may be due to the weather). But in edit mode it is very inconvenient to walk around the site. Because you can not click on the links. Subsections are not displayed in subsections, although you can create one.
Between CMS data, I can’t say exactly which one I would choose. It all depends on the task. If you need to make a business card site, then I would prefer UMI. If you make a more serious project, I would prefer Bitrix. It has a lot of good, useful, and most importantly high-quality modules, but it also needs more host machine resources (well, I thought so)
Bitrix:
I enjoyed working with this system. Convenient structure that allows you to quickly find the information you need. I did not like the fact that new products are somehow strangely added, since You can not immediately select the type of information added. Liked the admin part of the system, well structured. A lot of content in the demo version. Easy to install.
UMI-cms:
Not a bad system. Most liked the easy one-button page editing. Admin panel is conveniently placed in the right-upper corner and has a stowing structure. Disadvantages, it was delivered from the second time and it is crooked, there is no content in the example, adding new products is not clear how it works, the submenu did not work, navigation through the admin panel also did not work.
If you had a choice, would choose Bitrix
Bitrix
I liked the opportunity to edit the structure of the page right on the fly without any dull text fields into which the system dumps the nasty code of the page. I liked the presence of the component of the page, i.e. even a form is a component that has certain parameters and can be inserted on several pages, but at the same time it will have different states on these pages. I liked the convenience and functionality, it is very rare to find a product with such a friendly interface of the administrative panel. Using only one section of "Content", you can build a whole information portal on the basis of Bitrix in just a day - the main thing is to understand the enormous possibilities of Bitrix. I was also pleasantly surprised by the documentation and training courses for developers and users. The only thing that did not like (rather, it is a whim) is the resource intensity of the Bitrix engine.
UMI.CMS
Before installing this CMS, I had a better opinion about it. Let this system from the frontend look very comfortable, then from the side of the backend it is just awful. The developers decided to put all the simpler things into the administrative panel without thinking about convenience. In principle, it is possible to work with CMS, but only from the front-end. There is potential in the CMS itself, but it is very difficult to uncover it by means provided by the site administrator. Surprised in the system is the ability to edit on the fly, which can jump and Bitrix.
My choice
If I were asked, on what I would prefer to develop a site, I would immediately say that Bitrix. This system has proven itself in the performance of this work. I will continue to study it and make attempts to implement my own projects.
Bitrix:
I enjoyed working with this system. Convenient structure that allows you to quickly find the information you need. Liked the admin part of the system, well structured. Impressed with the way to install CMS. The downside of the system is the lack of free design templates.
UMI-cms:
The system as a whole did not like. Problems arose during and after installation. The system could not be installed properly either on the provided hosting or on the local host: the system was installed without demo content.
I prefer 1C-Bitrix.
I tried to organize the experiment in such a way that in fair conditions it showed the work and typical problems of each system.
There are 2 more laboratory works for the same students, where we could analyze more complex technological operations than simple installation and management of a ready-made demo system on these or other systems, engines, and frameworks.
I am waiting for opinions, I will listen to sensible advice.
The main observation is essentially that Bitrix and Yumi are compared, which, they say, are not indicative and do not cover the market. I would be pleased to hold a similar event with the participation of TYPO3, DRUPAL, HostCMS, Zend Framefork, if I understand what task they are setting? Systems of different caliber, degrees of abstraction, even ideology, they are often used at different levels.
What can be done on these systems so that the conditions remain fair?
There is only 1 idea: to give a custom design and offer to pile on a site with a given primitive functionality.
There are systems, there is a task, there are subjects and there are numerical criteria. There is a pivot table and comments of those who compared.
There is no playing along with the participants, juggling with facts and other jeans.
The experiment was conducted as part of my teaching a course on web technologies at VolgGTU. To perform the work, a dedicated server of the company in which I work was used, in addition to the state university.
For especially corrosive comrades, I’ll make a reservation that the company is Bitrix Gold Partner and has a lot of points from Yumi.
Representatives of each of the systems with which I am familiar (Kotyrev, Ryzhikov, Sidorenko, Solonchuk) will learn about the details and the results of the study from this topic. I don’t trade in research, it’s interesting for me to support the industry.
Before minus topic for the fact that it is about the box systems that you may not like, read it. Or just pass by.

The system as a whole did not like. Problems arose during and after installation. The system could not be installed properly either on the provided hosting or on the local host: the system was installed without demo content.
I prefer 1C-Bitrix.
My findings
I tried to organize the experiment in such a way that in fair conditions it showed the work and typical problems of each system.
There are 2 more laboratory works for the same students, where we could analyze more complex technological operations than simple installation and management of a ready-made demo system on these or other systems, engines, and frameworks.
I am waiting for opinions, I will listen to sensible advice.
PS
The main observation is essentially that Bitrix and Yumi are compared, which, they say, are not indicative and do not cover the market. I would be pleased to hold a similar event with the participation of TYPO3, DRUPAL, HostCMS, Zend Framefork, if I understand what task they are setting? Systems of different caliber, degrees of abstraction, even ideology, they are often used at different levels.
What can be done on these systems so that the conditions remain fair?
There is only 1 idea: to give a custom design and offer to pile on a site with a given primitive functionality.
