If you've reviewed a recent Kentico proposal and paused at pricing, you're not alone. Kentico has shifted upmarket, with subscription-based pricing and a stronger focus on enterprise capabilities. For some organizations, that aligns well. For many small to mid-sized businesses, it introduces cost and complexity that may not match their actual needs.
A content management system should support your goals without overextending your budget or introducing unnecessary overhead.
The ATOM Group was a Kentico Gold Partner for over a decade. We've delivered award-winning Kentico implementations and understand the platform in depth, from architecture to day-to-day usability.
Today, we are an Umbraco partner and have helped organizations successfully transition to more flexible, cost-effective CMS platforms.
Our approach is deliberate and collaborative. We focus on understanding your requirements first, then recommending the solution that best fits, even if that solution is not Umbraco.
It depends on your priorities. Kentico may be a strong fit if:
You require integrated marketing automation and advanced digital marketing tools
Your budget supports enterprise-level software investment
You plan to adopt or expand into Kentico's cloud ecosystem
You may want to evaluate alternatives if:
Your primary need is a reliable, flexible CMS with a light marketing suite, rather than a full marketing suite
You want greater control over architecture and implementation (you don't want to be locked into one cloud environment)
You prefer to allocate more budget toward development and less toward licensing
Umbraco CMS is a .NET-based CMS that integrates well within Microsoft environments and offers a strong balance of flexibility and usability.
Flexible, with a clean and maintainable architecture
Powerful without unnecessary complexity
Designed for both developers and content editors
Cost-effective, with minimal licensing overhead
It is particularly well-suited for organizations that want control, scalability and long-term sustainability without enterprise-level licensing costs.
Selecting the right platform is only part of the equation. Execution and judgment matter just as much.
We bring:
Extensive experience with both Kentico and Umbraco
A clear understanding of migration risks and how to mitigate them
A platform-agnostic perspective focused on your best outcome
Experience across industries, including nonprofit, finance, healthcare, government, and more
We are a US-based team with New England roots. We take our work seriously and aim to be practical, responsive, and easy to work with.
Every organization's situation is different. The right path forward depends on your goals, constraints, and priorities. If you're evaluating your future with Kentico or exploring alternatives, we're happy to provide a clear, informed perspective that can range from finding the shortest path of least resistance to a full platform lift-and-shift migration. Let's start the conversation.
