Great tool - Easy to use for marketing department
What do you like best about the product?
We successfully migrated from word press to Contentful. I like how easy to use it is for our marketing department to make updates to our website. It is seamless and requires no additional deployments for copy/image changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a smaller business, there is no middle tier to using Contentful. You either use the free version, or pay for large scale enterprise use, which is too much. It would be helpful if there was a middle solution to allow for expanded use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We no longer have to make deployments to dev, staging, then to production for every small change. We were able to make templates which marketing could easily make changes to at any time. Marketing also no longer needs to depend on tech deployments.
Great for serving content to apps
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to change content state (as draft, published, etc.). Very dynamic and useful. Easy to integrate using its API and key/environment structure.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little bit difficult to set a custom data structure without providing JSON structure
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast content serving (for images in my case). It is really fast, just what I needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! Use a test space to try all the great features it provides.
Great Headless CMS used by the Swiss Red Cross
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful is an extremely stable, secure and user-friendly system with high availability and speed. As an NPO, we can benefit from an extremely generous NPO price plan.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a pity we can't benefit from all the new features because the NPO pricing model has been adjusted. We'd be very happy to pay part of the cost, but we can't keep up with the "large space" model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Contentful, we have converted to a Headless CMS infrastructure and benefit from the very well structured input masks for our editors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Contentful has a very high standard and usability as well as a very efficient support! If you are an NPO you profit from a great discount, although not all features are available on the legacy plan.
A great tool to manage content
What do you like best about the product?
The provided API is quite fast and reliable. When it comes to uploading media, Contentful makes this process easier and faster than other similar CMS tools. Besides, it is a secured platform, counting with a very reliable system of verification and control of input entries and it has a high level of flexibility, so you can structure your data in any way you want and. The company also provides help to integrate with a different application based on language Java, C# and many more . Contentful makes very easy to sort and edit your content.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we need to deal with HTML, CSS, and Javascript, these things are not handled in Contentful as efficiently as I'd like. I mean, it's not bad, but it’s only useful if you want to add several contents at the same time. However, some of my colleagues have told me its biggest issue has to do with integration, because it doesn’t support many solutions. Personally, I haven't proven this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a great tool to manage content. In my previous company, we worked with PatriotSystem and it was good, but Contentful is a better CMS in so many ways . Content API is quite fast and so reliable, all our Marketing actions can be completely done in a couple of minutes. Contenful CMS provide space a nice content management solution which is quite handy in working with the different project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best tool for managing content without being worriend about HTML stuff. I recommend Contentful for those who are not good with development, but still want to build a nice landing page and with content.
Load content into apps
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is modern and very clean. It remains me of WordPress and how I’m a regular user for this platform, I could learn how to use it quickly. This familiarity made me felt like I already knew the software even before I started using it. The image usage is very simple to learn and modify. What I like the most is the ability to manage fields, being able to add, cut, move or remove them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Contentful lacks of some spelling tools to check grammar. You have to add a plug-in in order to review the grammar of your content. Also, It does not integrate with Grammarly, what I consider to be the best tool for checking grammar, so you have to use another one. And, if you want to get the best out of Contentful, it requires some hard dev resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentful is a very used tool in the Marketing department of my company. It performs as our selected platform for loading content into apps, rather if it is on iOS or Android, and to pull down cloud content. It is a great tool to make your content reach international audiences with specific topics or content type (video, image, audio, etc).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In comparison with other CMS applications, Contentful is the most intuitive, easy and effective. If you have to regularly work editing content, specially images for digital marketing, I would recommend Contentful for you.
Great platform

One of the key features of contentful is the flexibility to create and combine content through its template. What is make it really powerful is the graphQL API
What do you dislike about the product?
With so many nested template is hard to preview for non technical person the final content, which sometimes require double effort
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dinamic content on any website, as well as, complex configuration settings
So good for developers

Contentful has such a great API and content modeling system. Everything feels seamless and smooth.

The API docs could be improved. Also, the rich text editor could have slightly more options like text alignment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not using Wordpress
Very good way to manage our web content

I like it a lot because it is an excellent way to manage a website giving users flexibility and an extremely simple interface. to modify the content by adding text or images to personalized taste and thus give a better identity to the site
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing is that there is no present support to support with the use of the tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped us a lot in the matter of the administration of our content since it is possible to eliminate, edit and modify this content to have a better use of time and also it has helped us to have the best configuration to have monitored our site
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it specifically for web developers who are looking for some simple way to manage their projects from a friendly interface and that is very efficient
Contenful is great for building web pages and store content libraries
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful is very easy to use and understand, even if you have never used it before. It gives the ability to customize and save templates, so every simple and specific action can be done in just a couple of minutes. Besides, it has a high level of flexibility, so you can structure your data in any way you want and it is a secured platform, counting with a very reliable system of verification and control of input entries.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, I have never encountered an issue with Contentful. Maybe it’s because I use it only for some basic activities, which are done quickly by using the templates. However, some of my colleagues have told me its biggest issue has to do with integration, because it doesn’t support many solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my organization, Contentful is used across several departments, but it is specially deployed in the Marketing Department for building web pages and store content libraries. Before Contentful was purchased by my company, the backlog of development had to be done manually, taking a lot of time and effort for the team. Now it can be completely done in a couple of minutes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Contentful is the proper content management tool. I would recommend it for companies or personals with a decent amount of data to manage. If you need to handle large size data, you may need another software as Contentful is more suited for simple actions. Also, I would recommend it for WordPress users, as the UI is very similar, so you will learn it very quickly.
Great flexibility and value, odd at first
What do you like best about the product?
Model creation with the available wide variety of field types is great.
The basic Markdown text field editor covers lots of use cases.
Resizing images by just adding optional query parameters to the URL is magic.
The content model is very flexible.

The content model is very flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Contentful content model is flexible, I'd even say too flexible for a simple paged website. It takes a while to grasp the Contentful-way of thinking about content. Not being able to categorize Models hurts in discoverability and creates a mess that can only be salvaged by namespacing them (e.g. "Page - Home ", "Page - About ") and then filtering ("Save as view" helps a lot here).
It doesn't seem as easy to edit for laypeople as say WordPress, but I can't back that up.
Multilanguage editing view could be improved I feel, displaying all languages at once can be overwhelming.
