Robust for devs, but clunky for authors
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful seems to be very developer-oriented in its in-depth features, and the way they are presented. The new Studio experience seems quite exciting, and should make the solution a lot easier to use.
Integrating the main Contentful API with our website build system was incredibly straightforward.
The support team (once you're a prospect or a paying customer) are very responsive, quick, and helpful. This even extends to their Engineering team being available to look at issues on their open source repos.

What do you dislike about the product?
While the developer-facing features are top-notch, the actual content authoring experience is frankly sub-par, particularly for an enterprise oriented platform like this.
There are frankly no collaboration features to speak of, and it's too easy for multiple authors to accidentally overwrite each others' changes. Commenting can only be done a field level (so if the field is, say, a very long textarea, it's not very useful).
Many features have UX complexities that make sense from a database POV, but feel clunky from an author POV. Being able to completely customise the editing interface is frequently touted as the jewel in their crown - but we found that even for simple things (e.g. allowing authors to define a custom HTML attribute for links) you'll end up having to cut a completely custom WYSIWYG editor plugin from scratch.
The sales team could only offer custom development services from their partner agencies as a solution - and so it was difficult to see the ROI on spending five figures for a licence for software we'd have to spend six figures on to develop all the missing features.

Easy to navigate, easy to learn
What do you like best about the product?
As a content manager, I've worked with other CMS systems like WordPress, but Contentful is by far the easiest to use. The interface is pleasant, and I enjoy creating unique strictures for each webpage or email. I'm not a developer whatsoever, and I found it really easy to navigate and learn.

Flexible system for setting up various digital platforms
What do you like best about the product?
I experience working with Contentful as a pleasant activity. You will quickly understand how to work with this headless CMS and what options it offers for building web pages. You can choose from different content types to work with, resulting in varied-looking pages. The ability to call a content type of your choice from anywhere on a page is useful and saves a lot of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because the parts of a page are built in a nested manner, it sometimes takes some time to find where exactly you are. But you quickly learn to find your way around this. It helps you think carefully about the way you build your page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentful gives us the opportunity to have different users work on the website at the same time and quickly manage different web platforms.
