WordPress VIP Recognized as a Strong Performer in Forrester Wave Content Management System (CMS) Evaluation
WordPress VIP is the CMS that powers some of the world’s biggest, most security-conscious, and most prominent digital properties, from Salesforce to the White House to Cap Gemini to News Corp. With a long track record of innovation, we are building the open and intelligent CMS of the future. But how does it stack up to other alternatives in the market?
Forrester Research recently published a new report: “The Forrester Wave: Content Management Systems (CMS), Q1 2025.” While there are many content management systems in the market, Forrester evaluated the 13 most significant ones, which met their inclusion criteria related to experience with enterprise clients, CMS revenue and mindshare, innovation, and momentum.
WordPress VIP was recognized as a Strong Performer.
The report stated: “WordPress VIP is a best fit for enterprises and government agencies in North America and EMEA that need to publish content at scale through an intuitive interface.”
An unmatched ecosystem
WordPress powers more than 43% of the web today, and we believe WordPress VIP helps bring an open ecosystem of solutions to the enterprise. The Forrester report recognized “the strong community through third-party plug-ins and add-ons…” offered by WordPress VIP.
We believe this community helps our customers deliver enhancements and innovations faster and at lower cost by leveraging a vast array of open source and agency-developed technologies and tapping into an extensive pool of developer resources.
Driving innovation
The Forrester evaluation noted that WordPress VIP “has a solid roadmap across intelligence and platform enhancements…” We believe our continued innovation, including recent enhancements in generative AI and composable digital experiences, and future investments that drive continued openness and intelligence, will help organizations deliver better customer experiences and business results.
Built with security and compliance in mind
The Forrester report stated: “WordPress VIP has superior content compliance capabilities, including FedRAMP certification.” And that “[WordPress VIP] provides content management to some of the most heavily accessed US government websites.”
We believe our investment in these areas has enabled an increasing number of highly regulated government agencies to rely on WordPress VIP, driving additional productivity and modernizing their digital experiences while controlling costs.
To us, being recognized as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave further recognizes how WordPress’s openness and ease of use, when coupled with enterprise-grade scalability, security, and intelligence, can help organizations deliver deeper connections to their customers and improve business results.
