Intern Experience
What do you like best about the product?
It's very straightforward and easy to navigate. I'm an intern and I have never worked with a content management system before but contentful was easy to pick up within a couple of days.
What do you dislike about the product?
I personally don't know any yet but I've only been working with it for about 8 weeks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is organizing content on Contentful so that we can use it as our CMS in the rest of our company.
Flexible and Fully Capable CMS
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility that Contentful provides was a key benefit for our team. It allowed us to build customized placements in our mobile app without overcomplicating the deployment process. Our marketing team can easily deploy messaging via our CRM/Automation platform to these custom placements throughout our app by simply building the content in Contentful using pre-built templates. It's reduced our team's dependency to secure engineering resources for simple changes or message deployments into the app. Contentful has been a great way to enable multiple teams across our business, from Operations to Care.
What do you dislike about the product?
The content customization options are lacking. The text editor sections only allow you to input text to a field but don't allow you to customize your text (bold/underline/colors/etc.). The customization is built into the template/placement by devs/engineering, which isn't ideal for marketers when we'd like to emphasize or draw attention to one part of your copy. This is where the "flexibility" begins to break down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we solved was enabling the marketing and other operational teams to quickly and efficiently deploy messaging into our mobile app with little effort. We've realized the tremendous benefit of freeing up dev and engineering resources to focus on other critical feature rollouts. We're also able to deploy messaging without an app update release which reduces the amount of time needed to complete projects. Having the ability to change and update content on the fly, even after deployment, has been beneficial—errors and mistakes are resolved at a much faster pace than before.
Contentful Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the intuitive design that makes the learning curve much less.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think some areas could use better descriptions of what each field is for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Contentful to post to our website. It's very user-friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a robust product with capabilities that I am still discovering to this day. A great CMS!
Convinced user
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy and simple the tool is for implementation but also changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very manual especially when you need to every time you make a change ensure all the other steps are also published again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We managed to reduce our dependency in the tech team on the small changes and build landing pages way more efficiently.
Retailer review
What do you like best about the product?
The site is really easy to use and self-explanatory - as a new member of my team, I needed minimal training and can quite easily figure things out myself.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had a couple of issues with overlapping media - it would be good to flag when two pieces of media clash as multiple media owners are using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting publications/unpublish is great - initially, we were doing this manually, and media was left live, and we also couldn't have changeover on the weekend - so this has opened up a lot of options.
We are teachers, We DO NOT want to manage Databases!

What do you dislike about the product?
it may not yet integrate with our Sveltekit framework :(
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are teachers and nothing is more pleasant than teaching! We DO NOT want to manage Databases and Contentful as the only content platform that will help us!

Super easy to implement and use
What do you like best about the product?
Great for everyone who is creating the site, from API integration to less technical content management. It is incredibly effective and simple. I personally love the little fun snippets / questions that pop up when waiting a small moment for the page to load.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little back button would be useful. When changing or tweaking content sometimes you're keen to go back a few steps to what was previously written, the version inbetween the last publish and the new one when you are editing on the fly. It means some creativity it is lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We required a simple CMS to include in the rebuild of our entire platform and after assessing other headless CMS we felt Contentful was right for our needs. Contentful also demonstrate great ethos as a company which is important for us.
Smooth UX, excellent API
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful has made it extremely easy to split the responsibilities for some of our web applications and allow development to operate separately from Content management. We're a non-technical organisation with staff having a wide range of experience levels and comfort regarding using technology so the ease-of-use and friendliness of Contentful's UI has been great.
From a dev perspective having such flexible GraphQL/REST access to the data to pipe into multiple mediums is great.

What do you dislike about the product?
Only missing feature I can think of is the ability to batch webhook requests. So no matter how many updates are made in [window of time] only one webhook request will be fired. Would save a lot of build minutes when it comes to static site rebuilding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Separating our content and content-editing concerns from our presentational concerns has been a huge advantage. The team responsible for managing the data can operate separately from the team responsible for development, and multiple methods can be used to present that data to our organization's clients. We work with vulnerable people and not all are comfortable with using the internet to receive information, so we're able to present the same data using automatically generated leaflets and digital signage in our waiting rooms for the rest.
A great content management tool for your business
What do you like best about the product?
A unified structure to collect content form all sources and publish them as per your requirements. The tool provides a power open API integration that enables you to connect with any third app. The tool also have draft and editing option available for posted and scheduled content. It also keeps track of modification history to revert any change.
What do you dislike about the product?
The program requires a developer to get the most out of it. There is no preview option available for your contents. Third party plugins like spell checker are not very efficient. Granting access to more people to work on one's content is not possible with a very difficult back end to operate correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool is very helpful, flexible and cost efficient as compared to other content management systems. It has a very clean and powerful interface. The tool also enables folder organization and supports media uploads. Sometimes we faces access problem while giving our team rights to edit content.
