Great for updating website content
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very user-friendly method of having website content edited instantly.
We have used other website CMS to edit content, all of which are not as intuitive as Contentful, so we were really glad our website developer provided us with this software for on-going changes. From updating photos to written content, Contently keeps track of everything - should you need to revert any changes, you can just pick and choose which version to return to and publish.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the things I dislike is that it is very complicated to figure out how to add widgets and pop-ups from other services we utilize like Constant Contact and MailChimp. Also, when setting up Google Analytics, we continue receiving error messages, but so far Google Analytics has been able to deliver a report - now I am wondering of how accurate this report has been.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The system is very easy to figure out in terms of creating content updates, so long as your website development has set it up following in a comprehensive order, like all tools, the person who initiates using the tool is also the person who sets the president of how this tool will be utilized by the rest of the team. I recommend it over other CRMs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are having your website developed, it is always useful to know which CRM they use, Contentful and WordPress are the top two - if you are handed any other CRM option, make sure the person who will be making future changes to the site receives a comprehensive training.

Enables me to use the product across multiple platforms.
Increases speed of development and testing

The Sandbox environments and CLI help us test new data seamlessly without any additional setup, making us more sure for production.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lack of easier encryption and security integration makes passing sensitive data more difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing a website and storing data. Adding hooks for S3 is easy.
Contentful Application in Iberia
What do you like best about the product?
When I started working at Iberia, a colleague who works in the company's marketing sector gave me permission to use the API they were using, and I was testing the application on personal web page projects. I really liked how intuitive it is compared to other CMS applications. The ease it gives you in shaping the image of your online content in a simpler way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps for large events, depending on the payment plan you have, the requests per second or per hour limit of the content preview API might fall short if your company doesn't take it into account. But of course, this can be fixed by choosing a plan that always covers more than you expect as a base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In Iberia, it was used to manage the different web pages they have. For example, give a more intuitive touch to the employee web page, which was somewhat confusing before. The flight booking page of the same, since it not only does Handling but currently operates as an airline for national and international flights. They also have an informational content web page about new regulations, company news, courses to carve out your own future within the company.
I think that in general Contentful can be a very useful tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, it even has a great free plan option, only downside is that it will show their logo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to manage projects for my students, send out materials for them to continue working with. It's a very straight forward software.
Great tool for self employed who can afford it
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and how FAS it is operationally.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing currently. I would say it was just too expensive for a self employed artist.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having fluid and consistent content that matches all platforms so it looks polished and like I know what I’m doing.
Easy to use CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Interface is easy, it's very flexible so you can customise it fully to best meet your requirements. Its also great at being able to create a whole range of content templates. Real-time editing is great when there are multiple users working on the same piece of content.
What do you dislike about the product?
The image/file area is quite clunky. If you're not a developer it can be quite difficult to customise. Because it's a headless CMS its also difficult to see how the content will be displayed in live.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing website data, web content and storing image/document files for publishing online.
Easy way to maintain your website
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful helped us bridge the gap between developers and our marketing team ( the content developers). Our car pool app, PoolY, has recently seen major success and increase in the number of active users recently so Contentful's pay as you go payment plan has been very profitable for us when we wanted to scale up.
We saved so much time and money because we didn't have to write code and create our own data servers for our website. Contentful's API readily integrated with our website and apps' code and we were up and running in a matter of months.

What do you dislike about the product?
it takes a long time for the changes we make in the backend to show up on our live website. This makes the maintenance period painfully long and creates long periods of time when users cannot access our website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Contentful to deploy backend updates and maintenance while hiding the code form our content providers and marketing team. Contentful also helps us with storing our data and content in a secure manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Contentful is truly a boon for a team of developers that use an array of programming languages. It helps you abstract the your code layer from the content layer to keep things organized and tidy. In my experience, Contentful is great at scaling and handles a huge surge users very well.
Excellent for non developers
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful has provided me with excellent customization features. This has helped me in cases where I have to forward a set template to my teaching assistants to work further onto it because I set the permission and they can only edit what I want them to.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not easy to upload images at all, especially when it comes to adding multiple images. It is also not easy to tell when the content will actually be published or how it will appear as it is altered at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it to manage projects for my students and TAs, and send out materials for them to further work on. This is a pretty straight forward software but also has a lot of glitches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not sure if I would recommend this. The solution would be helpful for simpler cases but for complex design patterns, I do not find it the best.
Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
It loads pretty quickly and the API capabilities are also pretty good. I like that it is pretty straightforward and flexible. It is a good CMS system to use if you want to work on multiple platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
No feature to see the overall page structure of the page elements, so there is no way to check the structure of the content inside each row.
It takes a long time to upload changes or even make copies of entire pages. Not a big fan of it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used it to manage our projects and compare different work solutions. It is straightforward to use and easy to set up, through just your github or gmail account. It has also made syncing out to clients pretty easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's definitely not the best solution out there so make sure to give it a go during the trial period
