best php-based cms/tech choice

WordPress.com

Wordpress sure has it places and user. Without knowledge as a developer you can do a lot of things and plugins and co's, but mostly it is not the system developers would choose but sure have there usecase and projects.

Sulu

Another usecase are Framework based CMS System. Beside Drupal, Typo3 using example Symfony components, still are not Full Stack Symfony and don't use Symfony based folder structure and are so very different then using Symfony Full Stack based CMS. In this area other CMS like Sulu, Bolt, .. Are placed which do not hide Symfony Full Stack and are more for the web applications which are not typical just a Website but has application based component in it which can be build with the Symfony components and ecosystem. This CMS are also mostly more version control friendly as most configurations are inside Code and not inside Database and the CMS admin concentrate on Content Management and configure the System itself. Another CMS which is more and more migrating Full Stack Symfony is Contao CMS, which definitly should not be forgotten.

OctoberCMS

Beside Symfony there is Laravel Framework , I will not go into deep difference between this frameworks as it really is just taste of what your team likes more (active record vs datamapper, facade/helpers vs dependency injection, blade vs twig, ...), as already mention above this kind of CMS make sense if Website is just one part of your application and you have to build more then just a simple digital business card / website. In Laravel world there are CMS like October CMS / Winter CMS, which target the same providing a CMS based on the Full Stack Larave framework and give you all features of that framework. Another already mention CMS in Laravel world is Statmatic.

Kirby

Another area of CMS Systems are Flat File System based CMS which I did last time not hear a lot around but there was a lot of noice in the past from Kirby CMS and Grav CMS. Instead of a database they store all there data inside files and I mostly saw more for simpler website build with it where not specific security releated user context based content where used.

Directus

On the other point there is the Headless CMS Hype, keep in mind that already mention CMS like Typo3, Sulu, .. Can also be used headless. But there are such CMS which are headless only and focus on that area, widely used is today Contentful, Storyblock, Directus, ... Some are only SaaS and store your data. What most people forget when going headless, specially when doing then a Node Frontend that you need to reimplement caching mechanism and other features for your server rendered content which most traditional CMS are already providing you.

Craft CMS

For all CMSs I think you will find advantages and disadvantages (there is also a german website collecting CMS https://cmsstash.de/empfehlungen/php-cms https://cmsstash.de/empfehlungen/php-cms, or you will even find CMS projects on Symfony CMS page https://symfony.com/projects/category/cms but even unmaintained projects are listed there), I think it is good to be always open for all technologies and use the correct choice what is best matches how your team is working on the project. So you maybe want first decide if you want to go into a Framework based CMS or stay with a Traditional CMS or even want to use a Headless based CMS and there for self hosted or SaaS. There are Flat Filesystem based CMS which you maybe want to give a try. There are even a lot of small CMS systems around, sure there is always a risk of that such systems get abandoned if not backed by some company. Also none free systems like CraftCMS (Yii 2 Framework based) and Ibexa EzPlatform and co exists. You also will find Data management tools like PimCore, which are not focus on CMS but are listed as CMS alternative, or find Plugin Extension for shop systems like Magento or Sylius. They have its limits but can solve small content management problems.
