Due to the significant enhancements made to Sitecore Content Hub ONE over the past year, we have rewritten our previous article into a new, more up-to-date version and will post it on our blog.
Sitecore Content Hub ONE is Sitecore's third headless CMS product, but what makes it different? In this article, we will introduce the positioning of the product.
CMS provided by Sitecore
Sitecore Experience Manager
Sitecore has been in business for almost 24 years and has always been a leader in the content management space. The latest version of Sitecore's content management product is Sitecore Experience Manager, which is the traditional product offered by Sitecore.
As for development methods, we not only build sites using the traditional ASP.NET, but since 2018 we also offer modules that can be used headless, and both development methods are now supported.
XM Cloud
XM Cloud is a SaaS version of the CMS portion of Sitecore Experience Manager (Sitecore XM for short), which allows for headless website development, which is already gaining momentum. XM Cloud also offers SDKs for Next.js, React, and Vue. XM Cloud also offers Headless SXA, a headless version of the module management mechanism provided by Experience Manager, as well as a base framework that supports efficient development and content creation.
Content Hub ONE
Content Hub ONE is a newly added content management product. We had already leased this product, but now that it can be managed in multiple languages, we are introducing it on our blog because it has specifications that are sufficient to sell in the Japanese market.
This product is intended to be used as a simple CMS, where pages are created by entering items, and the administration screen itself is not edited as you see it, but rather pages are created by entering information into a form. Although it lacks flexibility compared to conventional products, it is intended to be used as a second CMS for large sites that already have a CMS (blog sites), or as the first CMS when switching to a headless CMS. Of course, it can be less expensive than the above two products so that it can be used on websites of a scale that does not require a large-scale CMS structure.
