Crafter’s highlights for us as a WebEnd agency

What do you like best about the product?
We love the idea of the Git-based repository. The fact that code, content and configuration is in
one place makes it very easy to synchronise dev, authoring and production systems. We can push
our features forward from dev to production and pull production content back to work with real data
on the development system. Testing features couldn’t be any easier than just switching branches.
And while we deploy new features to production authors can work without interruption.

What do you dislike about the product?
The market penetration of CrafterCMS isn't on the level it has to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s great to be able to use APIs for everything. We can in fact render markup, serve content and
even use APIs for DevOps automation and processes. It makes Crafter highly flexible and gives us
the possibility to manage, integrate and deliver content anywhere at any time. Furthermore, it gives
us the freedom to work with any front end framework on top of Crafter’s headless content server.
And finally we are pretty overwhelmed by Crafters responsive support. We use Slack to get in
touch with them but there is a growing community in Google Groups and Stack Overflow as well.

What do you like best about the product?
Mainly it's architecture, developer friendliness and tech stack.
What do you dislike about the product?
So resource intensity if you have a basic setup and a common use case was not provided out of the box but this was easily worked around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a multi-purpose CMS for blogs, content sections, content fragments, augmenting products with headless delivery.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's definitely worth considering. The architecture is much more modern than many of the options out there and is built for scale. We have been very impressed so far. The support feedback even for the open-source version is very responsive.
