What sized corporate environment ?

Steve T.

At the risk of repeating myself ... Are there any big corporate intranet users out there who use DNN?  I'd like to hear from anyone with any experiences.  And I accept that the Australian NRL uses DNN - which is an endorsement.  However, anyone who is running intranets using DNN would add a lot to this thread.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I set up a DNN-based intranet for an association with 35,000+ users and dozens if not hundreds of portals.  I wish I could say DNN scaled well but it simply didn't.  It required extensive customization to get it to a useable state and it's still a work in progress.  Things like the caching architecture and user/role management weren't designed with very large sites in mind.  I also find DNN painfully slow in all but the simplest of setups - this has been my main complaint for the 3 or so years I've been working with this software.  Why they would continue stacking on new features without addressing the scalability and performance problems is beyond me.  It should be priority #1 if they want this to be adopted by larger corporate customers.  Maybe that's not what they want, though, who knows.  So to the original poster, I'd think long and hard about going this route if your organization is large.  Personally, I wish we had gone with SharePoint from the beginning.  I don't mean to offend any developers....I actually do like many things about DNN and the community.  I simply don't think it's well-suited for large deployments at this point.
