Frequently Asked Questions

Migration cost depends on content volume, custom code complexity, and integration count. Eveliko uses Chameleon - a free assessment tool - to produce a structured scope report before any commitment. This turns a guess into a concrete number. Migrations we have completed range from focused 2-week projects to 6-month full-delivery engagements.

For most enterprise use cases - multisite, multilingual, complex integrations, personalization, and managed cloud - yes. Sitefinity scores higher than Sitecore on ease of use, mobile capabilities, analytics, and audience insights on G2. Sitecore holds an edge in raw personalization depth and developer tooling for highly bespoke builds. The question is whether those Sitecore-specific capabilities justify a 3-year TCO that is typically $450,000-$825,000 for mid-market.

Eveliko has completed migrations in as little as 2 weeks for focused content-heavy projects, and up to 6 months for full enterprise engagements covering content, code, integrations, and go-live support. Timeline is driven by the scope Chameleon surfaces - not estimated manually.

Full delivery - content migration, custom module development, third-party integrations, Azure infrastructure, SEO continuity, pre- and post-go-live support, and team onboarding via TCVelik operational SOPs. Clients do not need to coordinate multiple vendors.
