MT vs. EE for a Corporate Weblogs Farm

I'm in the process of evaluating several weblog solutions for building a corporate weblogs farm. In other words, I'm looking for a solution that would allow a company, with a simple (if not single) software installment on its existing web platform, to host any number of internal and/or external weblogs.

I ended up comparing Six Apart's Movable Type 3 and pMachine's ExpressionEngine 1.0. The following is not a full fledged comparison of both products, but I thought it might be of interest for other people as I came out with some interesting differences that might help someone else make their mind about them.

padawan.info: Movable Type vs. ExpressionEngine — A comparison

A good overview of MT vs. EE, in this case for their usefulness in a corporate setting. pMachine was my first true weblog system. I had been using phpWebSite for my tech news, but found that I was posting more often (almost exclusively) to this little pMachine-driven section. I also remember talking to Rick Ellis about a pMachine hosting platform, but he was in the midst of setting up his company and planning for EE. The rest of the story is well-known — I use Drupal and think it's a great platform, and it works great for corporate needs.

ezpublish

I have been comparison-shopping for open-source content management system lately and came across ezpublish from a Norwegian Company http://ez.no (cool URL). Their engine is surprisingly flexible, feature rich and can be installed using a web-based setup wizard that steps the user through the process of setting up Apache, PHP and mysql.

This CMS can support blogs, news sites, corporate sites, intranets and forums right off the bat.

I've tried eZ

I've tried eZ in the past, and I don't remember it as particularly easy at all. I'll have to re-visit it at some point. I have never found the initial setup of a system to be the main point of pain in any case -- it's always in further configuration, templating, and custom coding.
