Platform Advantages

What Kentico Unlocks for Your Organisation

Xperience by Kentico consolidates your CMS, marketing automations and digital commerce into one managed platform, so your team can stop managing tools and start managing positive outcomes.

One Platform, Fewer Tools

Many content environments accumulate tools over time that become disconnected including CMS, email marketing, personalisation, ecommerce and analytics. Xperience by Kentico (XbK) consolidates them into one managed platform, reducing integration costs and giving your team one place to work.

Launch Faster, Iterate Continuously

Kentico's hybrid headless architecture lets developers build with the front-end framework they prefer, ASP.NET Core, React, Next.js, or Tailwind, while marketing teams can publish and test faster without waiting for developers and code changes.

AI Built into the Platform, Not Bolted On

AIRA, Kentico's native AI suite, handles content generation, translation, journey optimisation and GEO strategy directly inside the platform. No third-party AI plugin required. Your team gets agentic tools that understand your content structure.

Personalise at Scale, Without Complexity

Kentico's digital marketing module delivers audience segmentation, A/B testing, and multichannel personalisation from the same platform your editors use to publish content. Personalisation becomes part of your workflow, not a separate project.

PLATFORM FEATURES

How Xperience by Kentico Delivers

Hybrid Headless Architecture

Build your front end with React, Next.js, ASP.NET Core, or Tailwind. Kentico's API-first content delivery works with any presentation layer, so you keep flexibility without rebuilding your content model each time the front end changes.

AIRA: Agentic AI Suite

AIRA is Kentico's integrated AI layer, handling content generation, multilingual translation, SEO and GEO recommendations, and customer journey optimisation. Specialist AI agents operate within your content governance, not outside it.

Built-in Digital Commerce

Xperience by Kentico (XbyK) includes a native commerce module for organisations that need to sell alongside their content. No separate ecommerce platform required and no complex integration to maintain between CMS and store.

API-First, NuGet Extensibility

Built on ASP.NET Core and extended via the NuGet ecosystem. Your development team can build custom integrations, workflows, and content types within a well-documented, standards-based architecture.

Kentico 13 end of life

On Kentico 13? Support ends 31 December 2026

If your site still runs on Kentico Xperience 13, support ends on 31 December 2026, and from 1 January 2027, every new vulnerability stays unpatched, with real compliance and cyber-insurance exposure for organisations that get audited.

Migrating to Xperience by Kentico removes that risk for good: it's evergreen, so there's no next end-of-life date to plan around. As Perth's local Gold Partner, we handle the move with fixed scope and no lost content or search rankings.

EOL explainer

Kentico 13 end-of-life: what actually happens on 1 January 2027

End-of-life doesn’t mean your website switches off it keeps running. What stops is Kentico’s support: from 1 January 2027, Kentico 13 receives no security patches, no bug fixes and no vendor assistance. Any new vulnerability discovered after that date stays open on your site. It becomes your problem, not Kentico’s. For organisations that get security-audited local government, health, finance running unsupported software is also a compliance and cyber-insurance exposure.

The fix is Xperience by Kentico, and it’s evergreen. Instead of a big-bang version every few years, Xperience ships continuous updates so once you migrate, there is no next end-of-life date to plan around.

Phil Allen (Founder & Chief Strategist at Dapth) has been working with Kentico for over 10 years. This is his take on the biggest structural change he has seen in how the platform works.

02

Kentico includes AIRA, its native agentic AI suite, which handles content generation, multilingual translation, SEO and GEO recommendations, and customer journey optimisation. Personalisation is built into the platform alongside your content workflows, not added as a third-party integration.
03
