Ultra flexible with the right developers
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve used Craft for the past 2.5 years and we have a great developer partner who’s helped us grow our Craft CMS capabilities from scratch. Our developers have worked directly with Craft to make changes in the platform to let it grow beyond the initial out of box experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although we’ve taken Craft VERY far, I don’t think we can take it further in the sense of global e-commerce use. I say this because our global organization needs flexibility to manage content as similarly or differently as each part of the globe requires. So far, we made changes to accomplish this but it’s certainly beyond what Craft was designed for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I never thought we’d be able to use Craft globally, but it’s proven to be more robust than we initially planned. We’ve plugged in Speout forms and reports, Oracle Eloqua, Maikchimp. and Oracle Service Cloud (preciously Right Now). All of these integrations make our website function across a variety of business needs, from email marketing to customer service

Web design for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
I like the preview mode that is available while editing
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the lack of freedom of the software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing the school website has been easier
From Wordpress to Craft CMS
What do you like best about the product?
It's easier and a lot easier to arrange and index content for SEO purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some issues with redirects, images and imported information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Craft CMS for our website and related blog. It's very clean and sleek and we don't need an excessive number of plug-ins compared to wordpress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to learn everything, but the learning curve is not very big
Pick the right partner
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use back-end interface. Very flexible - if you can design it, you can have it built.
What do you dislike about the product?
If your developer doesn't code the functionality, it doesn't exist out of the box. So, make sure whoever you partner with gives you things like a fully functioning WYSIWYG if you want to be able to bring site updates and maintenance in house but don't have a developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
this platform was chosen before me, so i am not sure why certain choices were made, but i believe that the powers that be were sold on the fully customizable, developer friendly platform not realizing that they were signing up for lots of very expensive updates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fully vet your implementation partners. Some will build you a beautiful site, while also building themselves a large recurring revenue stream to maintain it.
Most flexible CMS I have ever used
What do you like best about the product?
Craft CMS makes no assumptions what type of content or function you will handle or you will need: as you make progress in setting up the CMS becomes the admin more feature packed: the default installation is pure and barebone, no clutters.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are much less plugins for Craft CMS - but this is because the attitude of the system: you build what you need from much smaller pieces than on any other CMSes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a framework which handles all the heavylifting of database access, read, write, modify, user management, admin backend, etc, but I hated the way WordPress kept messing with the frontend. With Craft these two are completely separated, what I really love.
Ultimate Flexibility, You choose the speed.
What do you like best about the product?
CraftCMS is what you make it. There are no rules when it comes to how you set up your content, or your templates. Template layouts are completely separated from the data and the CMS makes no assumptions.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a simple site, for low-cost clients, the cost can be prohibitive, especially when WordPress is free and in the mindshare of the uneducated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complete data flexibility. I can create admin pages that suit the users that enter the content and ensure they are properly templated and provide exceptional experiences for web users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Craft is not designed for the non-developer. You must know basic html, basic PHP and be willing to custom code your theme. Craft Does not have an out of the box template and is not a 2 click setup like wordpress.
I'm not a fan of this platform
What do you like best about the product?
Creating entries is fairly simple in craft, but I don't really like craft.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the user experience for craft needs some serious work. I have a lot of problems being able to adequately do the things I want to with craft.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't feel like I've solved any problems. I've only run into greater difficulty using this program.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't get Craft. It's not as good as other platforms.
My Craft Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Craft is a user-friendly way for me to quickly learn information about companies in our membership base.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the system can be very slow/not refresh quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hold a lot of information about companies in our membership base, making it easy for several different departments to look up what they each need.
Friendly, Yet Flexible CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Many CMSes appear to be built solely for the developers who set them up ... Craft is built for developers and content admins alike. It's flexible, intuitive and easy to use. It's also powerful and impressive in what in can do. (Sometimes easy = limited.) As someone who has used many a CMS over the years, including the well-known ones, as well as proprietary ones, its obvious to me that Craft is the product of well-thought out design and development – which is what my company sells to its customers. Craft allows us to implement unique designs in a logical and thoughtful way. I love using it and training others to use it!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features not yet offered in Craft that some customers come to expect in CMSes, specifically with workflow and permissions. However, I am impressed with their commitment to updates and improvements, and the open-source nature of the product means that the developer community has produced many plugins. It's also great that our in-house team can do custom development to partner with it, as well. Looking forward to future features and improvements!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Craft allows us to provide customers with wesbites that are flexible and easy-to-administer. Though we don't reuse a design template, we learn more about Craft and its capabilities with each project. Problem-solving with Craft in our toolkit means fewer work-arounds and "no-can-dos" ... we are able to realize individualized designs while completing complex technical functions in the websites we create for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
From training, content management and client-satisfaction perspectives, Craft is a home-run. (I am not a developer, but the devs I work with love it.)
It's built thinking about users first – developers as the users setting it up, content managers as the users maintaining it and end-users experiencing a great website because Craft is powering it.
And the open-source community is great. Can't beat the low cost of entry (soon to be a minimal yearly subscription), either.

Content Management System & Event Management Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Great system with a flexible interface that allows for customization and creative use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Admin interface UX could be improved to facilitate ease of use and content management for inexperienced users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've created a completely custom event management platform based off of craft to manage data, front end website and data collection. It has allowed us to streamline our workflow and processes and has contributed significantly to successful event operations and management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great platform for creating custom sites and platforms, with limitations indicative to CMS platforms.
