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.

We used Contentful for various small and mid sized projects successfully
What do you like best about the product?
Setting up a project takes minutes and then you are up and running. Also the environments mechanism makes it very easy to try out things. The UI is very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The smaller instances could provide more languages and it would be good to set permissions on content level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We create marketing microsites and corporate websites.
Great experience implementing as an agency partner
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Contentful is that you can truly use your content anywhere. You name the channel and Contentful will be able to deliver. It’s a welcome departure from the prescribed ‘one size fits all’ solutions you find with many CMS/DXP vendors. Contentful is almost 100% un-opinionated on how you develop your application, removing as many obstacles from the process as possible. This means our clients aspirations of a bespoke, best-in-class customer experience, that scales and adapts when they need it, can be readily achieved
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the constructs and concepts can be a bit unfamiliar to those unfamiliar to headless CMS and require training

API First, extensible headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
There are many thing I like about Contentful. For me, what I like best about Contentful is their commitment to enhancing and maturing the product. I have witnessed significant change of the product since I first started using it in 2016.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to Contentful's powerful content modeling capabilities, the web admin UI can become a challenge, especially when your solution involves many models. Happy to say that the admin UI continues to be enhanced and that Contentful has made serious strides forward over the last couple of years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily, I've leveraged Contentful for channel agnostic experience and content management. In a previous role, the team used Contentful to manage offers and mobile app configs.
Contentful worked wonders for our static nonprofit site, Hack4Impact.org!
What do you like best about the product?
Above all, the GraphQL API made it super easy to add the *exact* content we want to every area of our site. We just needed to inspect our Content Models, build a query in Contentful's own playground, and copy / paste into the codebase.
We were also very impressed with the user experience. We were able to onboard designers and operation directors in 30 minutes, and they felt confident enough to write new content without coming to the devs. The "Draft" / "Published" states were easy to understand, and the rich text fields were super friendly for complex fields. Couldn't be happier overall!

What do you dislike about the product?
Our only "ask" would be template strings for passing values into our text entries. For example, being able to pass a "name" parameter to Contentful, and then using that name throughout a given content model (i.e. This is {name}'s profile picture).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically, we needed a place to store information about our university chapters, board members, and all future content in a single place. In doing so, our content needed to be:
a) Super flexible as we add fields, text, flags, and other values
b) Easily edit-able, so designers and product managers could update content with confidence (and without the developer tickets)
In the end, Contentful delivers all of this and more!

Contentful has been an absolute game changer for us
What do you like best about the product?
Our content creators love the intuitive user interface and how quick it is to update content. Contentful is by far the best in this regard, compared to the other platforms we trialled.
Our technical team loved how quickly there were able to get started, thanks to the great JavaScript SDK and simple content modelling. The Content Delivery API is fast and reliable, it's been a key factor in bringing our average page load time down 70%.
As a NFP with a number of touch points, Contentful has been a game changer. We finally have a single repository for content that all of our sites and apps can pull from.

What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have many complaints but my one bug bear is that I wish the rich text editor had a few more options. We've had to come up with a few workarounds for things like superscript and subscript. It would also be great if we could embed Youtube videos, as you can with the markdown editor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we started our project, we had 3 main things we wanted to address:
- Avoid duplication of content across our platforms
- Be less brittle (i.e. allow our content creators to make changes without breaking anything)
- Reduce development overhead
Contentful has exceeded our expectations in meeting all of these requirements, can't speak highly enough about the platform.

Contentful works well and the setup was really fast
What do you like best about the product?
The setup was really fast and we were able to publish our website on 2 weeks.
Also, we are really happy with the interface to add and manage content with a good productivity.
Support teams always have a quick response time and accurate answers.

What do you dislike about the product?
Regarding payment method, we sometime lacked another options because we had problem with our credit card. But the Billing Support team helped us until we found a solutions, so it was ok.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was faster to implement Contenful CMS than coding our own CMS. This was really important because the delivery time of the project was really short!
Easy to Implement, Super Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the platform is really remarkable. From content modeling to the editor interface, you can build everything to work with your team. Their CLI tools are also really nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the 3rd party app integrations are a little clunky but otherwise no complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it is at the center of our media business.
Great tool for content management!
What do you like best about the product?
Our team has really enjoyed the flexibility Contentful gives us in managing our content; as a non-profit without in-house developers, it has given us the freedom to keep updating our content creatively without always needing to hire a contractor. We like how easy it is to preview content in draft mode in QA. It's great to be able to add helper text for different sections so that we can quickly onboard new users. Adding content for additional languages is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is too easy for a user to accidentally change something - but that is probably mostly a matter of training users well & how your space is set up. We would also like to have more content types, but it is possible to purchase those.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are delivering content to a wide variety of partners through a few different tools, and having many different non-technical staff members collaborate on creating and updating that content. One big benefit has been our ability to target content to certain groups and users through Contentful, and to easily add additional languages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool! If building something complicated, make sure you collaborate with developers to know how many content types you will need.
The easiest and the most meaningful CMS to use for big and small projects.
What do you like best about the product?
As a Software Engineer, Contentful has been a grace to use on multiple projects with multiple use cases.
The API is straight forward and very easy to use and content structuring and linking to create dynamic and static sites is the most optimized between the varied CMSs that I have used, and it comes with a great interface for content editors and creators.
I am specifically a fan of their APP integration, which makes it so much easier to develop in certain technologies (e.g. Gatsby) and if you're using other 3rd party services for hosting or other uses.

I have honestly never run into any serious issues while using contentful in the past 3 years.
They have libraries and integrations that will fit most of your development needs

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run a non-profit organization called Bureaucrazy with a small team, and due to the nature of the services that our organization provides, we needed a solution to be able to update or content rapidly and on the fly, with a very easy to use interface, that's why we landed on Contentful.
We use contentful to structure our data, build up dynamic pages on the site and define conditional content linking.
One of the most important benefits that we have realized is using their new APP feature, which allows us to use easier and quicker to develop technologies and run content updates through their webhooks, automated deployments and run updates with a click of a button, which before considering we're a very small team was very time-consuming.
Contentful were ass well kind enough to provide our non-profit organization with a free plan to use on our site and on our upcoming Webapp
