The free Java CMS space isn't an easy one to stand out in. 
Blockbuster platforms such as Magnolia, Hippo, Liferay and DotCMS (to name a few) dominate this area of the CMS market. <a href="/2014-best-free-java-cms/" target="_blank">The people had their say on the subject</a>, and now the judges have weighed in, too. Here's the verdict.

<a href="http://www.onehippo.com/" target="_blank">Hippo CMS</a> has grown aplenty during 2014, particularly with the release of Hippo 7.9. In fact, we here at CMS Critic got to see some of that progress for ourselves when we <a href="/looking-back-on-the-hippo-get-together-2014/" target="_blank">attended the 2014 Hippo Get Together in Amsterdam</a>. We learnt about their passion for not just their product, but for the open source community as a whole. Their <a href="/how-open-source-software-transformed-a-nations-police-force/" target="_blank">work with the Dutch Police Force</a> is a testament to that.
Recently, Hippo was also crowned the <a href="/2014-best-enterprise-java-cms/" target="_blank">2014 People's Choice Winner for Best Enterprise Java CMS</a>.
Congratulations to everybody at Hippo!
