We used Vignette V5.6 which has no builtin CMS solution (or it does cost extra). We took a quick look at a Vignette CMS demo, but were not so impressed. After our experiences with Vignette (and Vignette support escpecially) we decided to use Vignette only on core caching und cluster management. Every Vignette component costs a *lot* if money und support is - well - rather unsufficient.

These links are not syntax checked (not yet), so this is possible if the user enters a wrong URL. All internal links are auto-validated.
