Our Experience:
Kentico works in a traditional CMS way: you add pages in a hierarchy, each page has separate zones (like left, top, or main), and then you can add content parts to them. The nice thing is that the CMS has a huge variety of content parts, from forms to blogs, to videos, etc. They have gone to great lengths to think about what you might need to add to the site. It is a flexible CMS that would work for a variety of sites.
At times, the editing window can get crowded and full, each page also has a lot of options which could get confusing for some non-technical clients. The free edition is limited in some ways, but still packs a lot of power. The other versions can get expensive, see the Feature Grid for all the details.
