Why organizations are moving away from Sitecore
Sitecore has become increasingly complex and expensive to operate. Many teams face long implementation cycles, high licensing and infrastructure costs, specialist-dependent upgrades, and functionality that goes largely unused. With Sitecore XP mainstream support ending in 2027, long-term risk and technical debt continue to grow.
What You Gain With Umbraco
Umbraco replaces suite DXP complexity with a flexible, future-ready platform.
Lower total cost of ownership
Organizations typically achieve a 60–70% reduction in total cost across licensing, hosting, and development. With Umbraco, you only pay for what you need.
Faster delivery and time to value
Projects go live in approximately four months. Editors publish independently, teams iterate quickly, and ROI is realized sooner.
Full platform control
Umbraco is built on an open-source foundation with standard .NET and web technologies, eliminating vendor lock-in and reducing reliance on specialized skills.
Personalization and AI without added complexity
Umbraco makes personalization and AI practical and accessible. Teams deliver in-context personalization with Umbraco Engage, run analytics and AI workflows through the MCP Server, and use AI-assisted content creation and localization — all while retaining the freedom to integrate the tools they prefer.

Most organizations discover they can meet their real requirements with less complexity. Rather than recreating Sitecore feature-by-feature, teams simplify content models and workflows, keeping what adds value and removing what doesn’t.
Umbraco is API-first and integrates easily with existing commerce, DAM, CRM, analytics, and identity platforms. Most Sitecore integrations can be retained or modernized without platform lock-in.
Yes. Most migrations are phased. Organizations often start with a single site, region, or use case, while Sitecore continues to run in parallel until the transition is complete.
Content is migrated using structured, automated processes with validation checkpoints. This ensures accuracy, minimizes manual effort, and maintains business continuity throughout the transition.
Umbraco is designed to be owned by your teams. Developers work with standard .NET technologies, and editors onboard quickly. Organizations can choose a fully managed setup with Umbraco Cloud, or run and operate everything themselves — without being forced into a single operating model after go-live.
