Simple content management
What do you like best about the product?
The overall user-friendliness is my favorite contentful feature. When I first began using the application, I required very little walk-through during training and find it extremely easy to train new hires.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish updates were reflected sooner. I know it doesn't actually take long. Still, when our company requests report updates, we typically hold an affiliated email until updates are reflected. This scenario is typically an issue when updating pdf attachments. (And really only an issue because we're pestered by team members who do not use contentful as they believe we have not made the requested updates until reflected on their end.)
There are two additional hangups I've encountered:
1. When uploading a large photo asset that I want to resize within Contentful they often time out/glitch using the resize feature and I will resize outside of contentful, then re-upload. This is a minor issue.
2. Strikethroughs are inconsistently displayed, sometimes correctly and sometimes showing the

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best thing contentful solved was the ability to stop using an extremely outdated WordPress. We were legitimately counting down the days until we made the switch!
Flexible API and simple user interface
What do you like best about the product?
Their API and user interface is intuitive and easy to use. Both developers and business users at my company can use their software without requiring much help from our internal IT team. We built and awesome Reactjs site backed by a Contentful CMS system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was easier to change back to a previous version of certain content. This feature would really allow for easier mistake handling when changes needed to be made quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Contentful as the headless CMS backend for my company's primary website. This allows us to create a custom frontend without being restricted to plugins or other bespoke frontend liimitations. Like Wordpress, but much more flexible and customizable and developer friendly because you don't have to learn PHP.
Improve development times and content management
What do you like best about the product?
UI it's really beautiful and the experience is pleasant to the users. Also, it helps the productivity of the teams in general.
From a dev perspective (my role) helps a lot, cause we don't need to be careful of the content in code, so we just leave the responsibility to the content authors and this improves development time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the UI doesn't load changes in real-time so we need to reload the page to see the changes. If we make changes in nested content types, no button allows us to publish all the changes at the same time and we must accept each one individually (sometimes it is a bit annoying, although it is not a big problem)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows managing the content of the page without the need to make changes in code. This allows speeding up content management processes, and allows the team to make changes in production without the need to make changes in production and deploy them in different environments before seeing the final changes in production.
Super exited to work with Contentful CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful is an Easy, fast, and perfect scalable headless CMS. I've used it multiple times, and it was a pleasure to work with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybeybe some build-in content types would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content Management System for websites and web apps.
Great experience
What do you like best about the product?
It’s a great software to track error codes and how they translate to other systems. Easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure that I dislike anything - It's quite an easy system to use for mapping these kinds of error codes. We use this to map multiple systems to one another
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping error codes from one API to the backend system. It allows our UI to read errors
Great headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
The admin editor interface and content type system is clear to use and works well. Easy on boarding of non technical users. The headless CMS concept in general is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite a lot of of feature requests for new admin editor features which seem to be slow to progress.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content management systems - migrating especially from wordpress which was a nightmare to maintain and customise.
Amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful has been awesome to work with. I set it up to host the content for my software development company and it has been a breeze to use and create articles to generate inbound traffic. I've talked to a few staff members for help and they're always super quick and friendly. Fantastic company to work with so far!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! It's been a great tool for my business and I haven't run into any problems using it so far. The API for JS was very easy to use and took me only a day to integrate into my website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentful makes my life so much easier by allowing me to create & manage content for my page without having to modify the source code. In the past, I would edit these pages manually and if a customer wanted an edit, I would have to go modify the code to match their content. Contentful allows me to hand a log in to these customers so that they can easily edit, but also allows me to write one page that creates a shared template for common content. It's really quite amazing :)
Contentful is the most interactive way to bring remote employees together
What do you like best about the product?
Allows the creation of virtual meetings in a virtual reality or metaverse platform, allowing our employees and developers to increase their creativity and learn more about this new technology. Within the platform, it allows the creation of avatars, which behave as if they were interacting in person, being able to customize them according to the physical characteristics desired. It also allows the creation of conferences, where the number of people that can enter is much higher, being able to dictate talks, meetings, courses, workshops, etc., in a different space than usual.
What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration was not so easy and being able to communicate with the technical team was also a difficult task, but we were able to do it and start using it. Some clients are finding it a bit difficult to adapt to virtual reality, that's why we are using it for the moment only in the creative department and with clients from that same department. Having a high speed internet connection is key for the platform to work properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started using this software in the creative department of the company with remote employees and clients who were out of town. We wanted to innovate by using a program where we could hold virtual meetings, conferences and seminars, all on a metaverse platform. The result was much more than we expected, as the clients noticed our ingenuity and creativity in using this type of program. Our employees feel much more motivated to develop all their creativity and ingenuity and it is giving us as a company, to know and experiment with this type of technology, leading us to be pioneers in our industry.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although we use it for the moment in the creative department, we recommend this program to all companies that want to innovate and take a step beyond their competitors, because it will make them stand out and many more customers will approach their services and products.
Great Tool, great service, happy customers
What do you like best about the product?
Never ever in almost two years did we have any technical hick-ups – Contentful works ALL THE TIME! And when we reached our API limit, the customer service was very helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
If there were one wish I could make: I would love to talk to the great customer service on the phone, I mean the online service is great, but sometimes a word in person is even quicker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The world is full of bad news – we at Good News work hard to find the best good news of the day and publish them via contentful to our 45k+ readers! Thanks to contentful, people hear about solutions to problems on our website and in our app.
Awesome Website Builder
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful's free version is relatively easy to use and awesomely robust compared to the WordPress alternative I've been using. I like how sleek and streamlined the end result is, and the learning curve isn't too steep. Makes converting website platforms a fairly headache-free process.
What do you dislike about the product?
In some ways, the UI seems more geared toward developers and not average/generalist users and marketing folks. For example, it's not always easy to preview changes as they'd appear to the end user and sometimes I have to work on a hunch of what will look good in the end. But none of this would prevent me from using Contentful going forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WordPress has fallen out of favor as our website builder because of its known performance issues, especially its slow load time. WordPress has become too cumbersome and clunky with all its plugins (which, ironically, were developed to streamline the UX and UI), leading me to seek out other options, which is how I found Contentful.
