11. Advantage of Proprietary CMS
• Proprietary CMS comes with standard website functionalities. They
don’t use third-party plug-ins. Instead of that all feature come built
into the software.
• Look and feel of the Proprietary CMS Interface is consistent because
the software is designed by a single team of developers.
• Unlike open-source CMS the Proprietary CMS has greater control
over the website code and this ensure that there are no viruses
unintentionally embedded into your site.
• A Proprietary CMS comes with a skilled and trained resource to
assist and help you in case you need any kind of support. You may
also have a dedicated support representative or POC (point of
Contact) and have one-to-one conversation.
