What do you like best?

What do you dislike?

Definitely seems like a more developer-friendly tool, and integrates well into our deployment workflow. The modular approach to content is an interesting one, and for certain types of websites it would be a killer feature.

From the editor's perspective, Contentful is maybe a bit TOO developer-friendly, as it lacks a lot of the basic features that I look for in a CMS.

While it may be highly configurable, it puts the onus on me to repeatedly ask our development team to add or change things at a platform level, rather than giving me the ability to do so myself. Instead of empowering my team to do more without the intervention of the dev team, it's simply changed the nature of our requests to them.

Do your research before you invest time in set up. For a mostly technical user base that can tweak and refine on an ongoing basis, Contentful might be a great option. For an organization with more robust editing needs, it may fall a little short.

We didn't have any CMS in place before, so having one now has made posting and editing content easier for us. The biggest benefit is that the learning curve for Contentful is pretty low, so it's pretty easy for us to onboard new members of the team.

I like it because it allows you to manage and manage a lot of content all in one place in a very dynamic way, you can manage these files in a very practical way and control your input

its navigation process is a bit complex and difficult to manage but with a little practice it is possible to manage in a more accessible way, besides that learning to manage all the files can be a little complex

It is a very practical tool because it gives you the option to manage content in a dynamic and essential way

It is very easy to customize and collaborate on this platform to generate creative content. Good WYSIWYG interface. I love the JSON support to back the data as well.

Very bad functionality to be able to edit and re-upload the pre-existing content. The templates are limited and it has a very basic editor.

For the features provides, it's extremely expensive and buggy.

Although they have a good ideology and layout, I feel that the whole software just needs a bit of overall help.

I have used to to generate training modules for new employees. It has helped us in reaching out to them by making the process easier and has made the content more interesting.

It loads pretty quickly and the API capabilities are also pretty good. I like that it is pretty straightforward and flexible. It is a good CMS system to use if you want to work on multiple platforms.

No feature to see the overall page structure of the page elements, so there is no way to check the structure of the content inside each row.

It takes a long time to upload changes or even make copies of entire pages. Not a big fan of it.

It's definitely not the best solution out there so make sure to give it a go during the trial period

We have used it to manage our projects and compare different work solutions. It is straightforward to use and easy to set up, through just your github or gmail account. It has also made syncing out to clients pretty easy.
