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.

Craft makes complex CMS builds enjoyable
What do you like best about the product?
Craft CMS gives me access to powerful php and twig functionality in the templates without the convoluted nature of Expression Engine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Craft has few things about it that I dislike. BK and the team at P&T have made it usable from top to bottom.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Craft CMS solves the problems inherently requiring a CMS, and I have seen benefits with clients being able to generate new pages and new content with ease.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try because it has more power and security than wordpress and more usability than expression engine. There are now drawbacks to other CMS systems that I have encountered.
Craft CMS: Great Flexibility, Takes Some Heavy Lifting
What do you like best about the product?
We worked with developers to design a website platform on Craft that we could easily manage and edit. I love that it's customized to our design and experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
For minor edits and layouts working with Craft is great. When developing more complex pages or changing templates, it requires a developers help. This is something that we hopefully will be able to move past.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to build a beautiful and compelling site that's easy to navigate and edit on the backend. We have saved time and money by working with Craft. We also have a platform that is user-friendly, which is imperative for the up-keep of the site and new users to the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product for flexibility and ease of use and developing a custom website.
Customizable CMS
What do you like best about the product?
I like that with the help of our development team, we can ad any custom field that we would like.
What do you dislike about the product?
We occasionally experience weird bugs with text formatting, and user images disappearing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The hard work put in to set up the CMS how you would like up front pays dividends down the road for the average non-developer user.
First time Craft CMS user
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive software, easy to navigate and find different areas for editing. It's easy to select elements to add and arrange, enable or disable content. I can easily link to other entries and find them quickly. I especially like how I can organize different sections as well as rearrange documents in the asset manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have difficulty editing text at time. I'll place my cursor on content and when I start typing it jumps to a different area. I have to remember to clear the cache when making edits to menus. Sometimes it's difficult getting the URL from an asset I uploaded such as a word doc so I can share with colleagues for other uses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexibility of posting articles with ability to post in future at a specific time. It's also helpful having articles expiration dates so I can reduce the number of entries on various pages. The software design is making it possible for other staff with less technical background be able to edit various parts of the website, increasing our efficiency as an organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great interface for beginners and experienced users. Easy to learn with continuous use.
Awesome CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, great functionality to add custom fields. Matrix field is amazing. Beautiful mark up with twig. Documentation is easy to read and there's tons of great examples. Tons of great people on the stack exchange that respond to your questions in just a couple of hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
It still feels a little barebones in some ways. For example you can create a front-end entry form, yet some fields aren't supported which makes it hard to create front-end forms with custom fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building a web platform. Its been extremely great with public users and front end forms, but a little limited in terms of functionality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will absolutely love it.
