What do you dislike about the product?
No dedicated dashboard upon landing in Hygraph. A dashboard displaying recently published and scheduled entries would be helpful.
Entries table lacks dropdown filters; manual input is required. Having a filter for each column would eliminate the need for manual input.
No side-by-side preview with edit option; preview opens in the same tab. Content cannot be edited directly from the preview.
Field-level comparison is available only in English; local values cannot be compared within the same language.
Drafts cannot be created as new versions, In addition the ability to create different version for each locale would be helpful
Allowing users to rename versions would be helpful, especially for those who edit or schedule promotional content.

Great tool but sometimes feels tedious to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
The documentation is excellent and the same goes for the GraphQL API and the accompanying API Playground.
What do you dislike about the product?
It feels tedious navigating through the "Content" section in Hygraph, for some reason I really don't like the UI. And it's not always clear when publishing an item if the child/parent items have also been published or need to be re-published. This made me lose quite a lot of time on multiple occasions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're building an educational platform via which our students can navigate to different kinds of course materials (videos, slides, knowledge bases, ...) all in one place, for multiple courses and across multiple years.
Great for Personal Portfolio Website
What do you like best about the product?
A friend suggested using Hygraph for my professional website to showcase my projects because it's easy to understand, get started with, and manage the content. I have been using it for about 3 years now, and it's still working great for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing negative to say about the software so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem Hygraph solved for me was making it simple to keep my professional website up to date. I needed to showcase my projects without spending too much time on the technical side and Hygrapgh allowed me to get started quickly.
Experience using Hygraph for Localization
What do you like best about the product?
Hygraph is easily manipulable and being such a big name, it offers many plug-ins, features, and integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't been thrilled will the customer support or the poor Smartling-Hygraph integration that has many bugs and isn't a complete option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great place to store content, build more, and provide localizations for said content.
Powerful and Easy to Use Headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
As a front-end developer, I really like how easy it is to set up Hygraph. The schema setup is quick and straightforward, and I was able to start adding content almost immediately. The UI is clean and doesn’t get in the way, which I appreciate. The free plan is also surprisingly generous so it's great for hobby projects or small sites where I just want to get something live without overthinking the backend.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took me a little while to fully understand how assets work in Hygraph and how they’re managed separately from entries. The flow isn’t super obvious at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As someone focused on front-end development, Hygraph takes away the worry of having to create some kind of backend for my content management. I don't have to set up a database, build an API, or maintain any infrastructure. The GraphQL API is especially helpful because it lets me query exactly the data I need in a clean and predictable way.
Highly recommended website software
What do you like best about the product?
Hygraph is very user-friendly. I have no web design knowledge or background, yet I manage and update our site easily without any issues. It has all of the features that we require, and it's easy to navigate.
It's great for a small business like us to keep ontop of how our own site looks and performs, and to keep the key information up to date for the end user.

What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, the "save and publish" function can be a bit glitchy and it takes a few attempts to save/update. Apart from that, it's a very well-functioning system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping us to reach customers outside of our local comminuty. It's also driving them to our bookings system which is integrated into the website. As a small business (bar), it's paramount that we have a steady flow of customers who are able to plan and book a visit to us, aswell as a steady flow of spontaneous walk-ins. That balance is important to our business operations. Having a clear, up to date, well-functioning website does that job for us.
Hygraph is an excellent tool for modelling and maintaining content from multiple sources.
What do you like best about the product?
The Schema builder is vey intuitive and allows content to be modelled to a precise level of detail for a variety of content types and formats. Modular components and and one-many references are especially useful.
The GraphQL-playground is really handy to setup queries and mutations.

API Onboarding
Developer Portal
Developer Portal
Team Lead at a Fast-Growing Startup
What do you like best about the product?
The absolute best thing is the content modeling interface. As a non-developer, I can visually design the structure of our content—like a "Blog Post" has a title, author, hero image, and a set of modular blocks. It’s like building with LEGO. I don’t have to constantly bug our devs to add a new field for a "Call to Action" button; I can just do it myself in minutes. The real-time collaboration is a lifesaver. My writers and editors can be drafting and reviewing posts simultaneously without fear of overwriting each other's work. It just makes the whole content workflow smooth and predictable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for the powerful features can be a bit steep. Things like "Union Types" and "Components" are incredibly powerful but explaining them to a new marketing hire who's used to a simple WordPress box to type in takes some time. Also, while the free tier is generous, the jump to the first paid plan felt significant for our bootstrapped budget. We had to be sure we were all-in before making that commitment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a small team that needs to punch above our weight. Hygraph lets us be incredibly agile. USe case : Launching a new marketing campaign: We built a content model for "Campaigns" that includes landing page copy, ad variants, and social media blurbs. Now, we can launch a fully integrated campaign from a single Hygraph entry, ensuring brand consistency everywhere.
Simple and Streamlined
What do you like best about the product?
In the content section, I can easily see a list of all published page types, and the API playground is just as straightforward as it looks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hygraph doesn’t offer a straightforward way to import data via Excel or CSV, and the filtering system feels off. Filters shouldn’t be the same for every property and its values.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since we publish a lot of blogs weekly, and our goals don’t align with other tools, Hygraph makes it simple for us to create blogs and manage their modules in an easy, streamlined way.
