Contentful Reviews

I like that Contentful has a user-friendly interface, the ability to create and manage content in multiple languages, and its robust API, making it easy to integrate with other applications and services. Additionally, Contentful offers a flexible and scalable architecture that allows users to quickly and easily create and manage content for websites, apps, and other digital channels.

Its learning curve can be steep for users new to content management systems. Additionally, some users may find the platform complex and overwhelming, with many features and options that can be difficult to navigate.

We have multiple pages editable by many cross-functional teams at my company. We sometimes want to keep things open to some groups and not for other groups. Contentful has a good Role Based Access Management approach that helps us keep the gates in place.

As a content manager, I've worked with other CMS systems like WordPress, but Contentful is by far the easiest to use. The interface is pleasant, and I enjoy creating unique strictures for each webpage or email. I'm not a developer whatsoever, and I found it really easy to navigate and learn.

I haven't had any issues with Contentful. I am still learning new tips and tricks as I go, but that's just par for the course.

We previouly used HubSpot but it wasn't as scalable. Contentful helps us do more, with less effort.

Contentful is a cloud-based service, eliminating the need for users to manage infrastructure and ensuring high availability.

Some users like myself find the content entry and editing interface less intuitive compared to other CMS platforms.

Traditional CMS solutions can be restrictive in terms of customization. Contentful offers flexibility in content modeling, allowing you to tailor the system to your unique requirements.

Benefit: Contentful can accommodate the growing needs of my digital projects without sacrificing performance.

Easy to use and looks great. Great capacity to build different templates and capabilities.

Sometimes you dont see formatting errors in the backend and only see once content is live.

Solving the need for a developer for all web changes

The best aspects of this tool are its modern and uncluttered UI, the multiple options to connect your app code to Contentful and the excellent communication that the Contentful team has provided us. Additionally, its performance has been on point and the team has always been quick to answer our questions.

I would say I haven't had any real issue with it, it does have a bit of a learning curve, but the interface is pretty simple and the experts support has been great so it's hard to find any fault to it.

Decouple the code from the content in our applications, allowing us to modify the content and adapt it to different countries and clients without altering the code of the applications.

Clean architectural approach, fast API, image optimization, new pricing and great support.

Great to see how the system evolves and improves. More apps are incoming to the market.

Very easy to extend and add additional functionality if necessary.

Cross-spaces - great thing to have.

Some limitations for UI changes,

Many potential improvements to fields management are not there yet and rely on extensions, like conditional fields etc.

Content types usage limitation - much better with new prices

Managing Content team with roles & permission, managing markets/locales. Providing clean and stable forms for managers to work with. It also allow us to limit them from changes to the front end.

Great image optimisation and much better workflows comparing to previous CMS experience.

I think that it is simple to use and easy to teach someone to use.

I haven't really run across something that I don't like that would be related to Contentful.

It helps us to update the Website with ease and allows others to get in and make updates without having to go through a lot of training.

Contentful is a simple and highly available system. It runs smooth, gives you endless possibilities, offers structured yet creative ways of working, and most importantly the time from thought to launch can be very short.

I find Contentful to have very few downsides. Support can be hard to reach if you are a spoiled type, API response times can be somewhat buggy once per quarter, and the awesomeness can be tough to believe when talking to new stakeholders.

Contentful gives us a possibility of working acrozz platforms, projects and departments while bringing awesome content to our many markets very fast. We have gained a lot from using this.

Contentful's professional services team helped us quickly and efficiently migrate our content from Drupal. They were highly responsive to questions, suggested solutions to complex challenges, and were a pleasure to work with all around. I can confidently say that our re-platforming efforts would've taken much longer with many more roadblocks if we had not had their support.

There's very little I disliked! Obviously, they were a support mechanism and couldn't do the work for us, so we still had to figure out some problems on our own. However, there was never a problem that I couldn't address with them, and they were able to assist as much as possible.

Our previous CMS was not meeting our needs. It was laborious to make content updates and imposed limitations on our digital experience. By contrast, Contentful's content platform allows for a seamless authoring experience that can scale across all of our digital properties.

We enjoyed the customizability of content modules of Contentful to meet our needs to serve text, video and audio content.

The platform is straightforward to use, even for non-technical with a minimal amount of training.
