I don't know, I don't ask for their take on the market. However, I've consulted with businesses where "We use Wordpress for X" is incredibly common to hear and they don't have problems with it, even if it wouldn't be my first choice of a platform.

The majority of businesses are small or medium-sized, where Wordpress with a few standard or custom plugins are enough to suit their needs.
Wordpress certainly isn't a good platform for IT and software, and I'm not aware of any SaaS companies trying to use it for their business.

Can't work out whether that's slightly better or slightly worse than a spreadsheet. I guess there are all kinds of options on the market and someone somewhere has whipped up a WordPress version.
- darpa_escapee 8y agoI've seen payroll, scheduling and appointments and a Blackboard-esque system built on top of Wordpress. Barrier to entry is low and there's a glut of cheap Wordpress developers out there, too, so companies that don't have a budget for an entire IT department can still get by with hiring a few engineers when they're needed. Again, not my first choice, but it seems to work.
