Easy to Use Content Platform

The software was very quick to implement and get off the ground running quickly. We were demoing within the first week of use. Loads quickly, and the API is easy to use.

Image uploading can be painful and requires it to be done one by one manually. Ability to export views would be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The cloud-based platform is crucial to having our team members access and publish remotely.

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.
Not Timely, Hard to use
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it looks nice and modern. That's about it. Good UI. Horrible UX.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything else. We use both Wordpress and Contentful, but I wish I could move everything back to wordpress. You never know when things will update and when an update is pushed through it could take HOURS. Additionally, it's so complicated on the back end that only our developers are allowed to approve changes making it a NIGHTMARE to use when someone is on vacation, or out of office and you have time sensitive projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nothing, I guess our site looks marginally better?
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.
Build web pages and content libraries
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful is simple to use and comprehend, even for beginners in this sort platforms. What I like most about this platform is that it allows me to edit every type of content, coming in different formats, so our website is always renewed and grabbing attention. As a user of WordPress, I can tell Contentful is safer and more reliable than WordPress, so I definitely don't regret switching platforms at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be frank, I have never come across any serious problem with Contentful. There are some minor complications when you start integrating it with Gatsby and when you start to model content, but there's nothing else to say.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentful is used in my organization across several departments, but it is specifically used in the Marketing Department to build web pages and content libraries that will be later used for Marketing purposes. We decided to implemented and keep Contentful because it provides many functions to maintain our information secured in our servers as a backup. I work as a developer too, and the usage of Gatsby as a static generator has been really helpful and has guided us a lot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For any company focused on easy marketing behavior, Contentful is the right content management platform. There are only a few instances in which it would not be well suited, as if you had to handle huge amounts of information. In those specific cases, you might need another software.
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.
Simple interface, robust APIs
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily add new content models and create interdependencies between them, the GraphQL endpoint is a HUGE plus, the content creation interfaces are pretty intuitive and easy for beginners to use. Friendly support staff, and overall just gets the job done and gets it done well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the ability to preview linked media in the list view, as well as bulk uploading/editing. I'm finding that scripting is needed for some features that I'd expect to be available in the list view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentful is helping the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus digitize and tag our 40-year media archive, opening our history and our story up to chorus members and the public at large. We'll be able to store, view, and enrich our history using advanced tagging, cross-referencing, and community input.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Map out your data model early, and try to stick to it. The more content you add, the harder it will be to migrate previous data without scripting.
Great platform
What do you like best about the product?
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
