Overall, CRAFT CMS was pretty user friendly but, it took some time to figure how to edit each page.
What do you like best about the product?
Making easy text changes and creating new navigation menu items.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very robust if you want to add new features such as videos and requiring sub headers when you don't want any.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It resolved having a website for our event. The benefits was that I was able to create as many pages I need and menu navigation headers.

Flexibility is Key
What do you like best about the product?
Our team has found Craft to be a huge asset when building larger scale custom sites. There are very few restrictions for our developers and limitless options when building out a fully editable CMS where our clients can eventually adapt, change and setup limitless pages within a working system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Craft is a great solution to provide flexibility, but that flexibility makes it very easy for clients to mess up a site once the CMS has been handed over. There are a lot of pieces to manage but it has been better than most of the other CMS options we have tried.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to adapt pages and create a larger system that doesn't feel too "theme-y" when creating custom sites is a clear benefit. Our programmers are better able to control the end look of pages and match the creative team's designs. Craft allows for highly editable pages and design with modules that can easily be reordered on a page which alyas seems to be a key benefit to clients.
Stable and vast
What do you like best about the product?
It's stable and trustworthy. Great support and you don't get that Frankenstein feel as with other brands. it all works together and seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their SEO capabilities could be better, they're even less reliable than Yoast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A stable source for a large, growing website. Having keyturn capabilities also helps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a big company with a lot of content and needs, good product.
The best in town (if you like PHP and crave full control over your frontend code)
What do you like best about the product?
The CMS is built around a very good implementations of Custom fields and let you write frontend code as you like, without adding any html bits whatsoever!
What do you dislike about the product?
Craft 2 is a little bit slow for my taste. Also plugins does not have a common repository (but Craft 3 will have it's own plugin store).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I created upon it small to medium sites with custom layouts and logic
Craft - Effective, but glitchy
What do you like best about the product?
When Craft is operating properly, the application is effective and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Craft has an ongoing issue of crashing for long periods of time. Often times, I will have to start and refresh the app multiple times before I have a usable interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Craft makes it easy to navigate a full lead pipeline and manage existing clients.
Very easy to navigate in Craft
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to navigate around. Searching on domain makes it quick to see if a company is a member.
What do you dislike about the product?
The hesitation you get sometimes when it's searching for the domain / company name / user. It can be annoying because it doesn't look like anything is matching. You go to start a new search and as you are hitting the enter, your last search starts to appear. Doesn't happen often, but when it does it just wastes time to have to go back and enter it again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple to use, professional results
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use. There is a live preview function so you never have to make a page live until you're 100% happy with how it looks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally there's issues with being unable to do something, but I'm not an administrator of the system so it's easy to contact the administrator to make the necessary changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Updating the website quickly. Changes were previously made by emailing a 3rd party which was time consuming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're not administering the system yourself, work with a trusted partner who understands your brand and what you want out of your website.
Perfect for Helping Clients Manage their Content
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible for developers but easy for our clients to maintain their own content.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still a relatively new product so it's a little harder sell for some clients who may be used to something like WordPress.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For those of us who prefer to write our own code, Craft gives us the tools necessary to help facilitate that. With their first party e-commerce system it's also pretty flexible in the commerce space.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Craft is not for DIYers or heavy enterprise usage (although it could be used for either). The middle of the market (SMB) is where Craft seems to find a lot of usage.
One of the best mid market CMS platforms
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely flexible CMS that doesn't feel like you are hacking it to accommodate requirements. Come with a great blend of base features, so it doesn't feel like you have to remove features that seem in the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish there was a cloud hosting offered, so we could just hand off clients vs setting up and maintaining the host for each client. In our experience, Craft often gets compared to Umbraco in the .NET world and they provide that offering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recently built a multilingual site for 10 countries with various admins coming in to manager their country. Craft works really well for just translating a site in many languages that share the same requirements. When you introduce various content admins with different requirements, we discovered that we had to hide parts of the admin with css (not cool).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Support the developers of the craft community with their plugins. The craft community is very helpful and very active and passionate.
Craft - Building instead of Manipulating
What do you like best about the product?
Craft comes to you like a new born child. Empty and waiting for you to fill it will goodness and knowledge. You build exactly what you want and Craft lets you control exactly what the browser spits out. Craft is like taking all your legos, spilling them in a big pile, and then going to town and building whatever comes into your mind. Craft can managed what metadata you want it to, you are not locked into a preinstalled program. Craft also comes with a built in security that makes another CMS look down right sad. Put simple, craft is Building instead of Manipulating.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve to Craft and while that is to be expected, I had to pick something to place here. The price can also be an issue, while $299 may seem cheap compared to some. I find with small businesses it becomes a issue. Craft's content table is just a bit of let down as well. There is also the The Ugly Data. After careful curation of Fields, Field Groups, and to which Entry Types they are assigned, each Field becomes a new column in this table and fill them all with NULL data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Craft CMS has really allowed me to let my design idea take off. I am no longer boxed in by the developers box. I can really build a site instead of manipulating someone else's framework. Many of my clients have heard of wordpress and come in look it. Craft offers a simple and easy to use backend interface, maybe a little more advanced than wordpress but simple enough for my average client to use and manage their own website. With the flexible of twig I have been able to develop power websites with no limitations from the CMS.
