Contenful is the best CMS for the modern applications
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful makes data modeling extremely easy. It takes minutes to build a database schema to create a new app. I love how I can manage all the content in one place and distribute it to all sorts of systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
While they offer a generous free plan, the pricing could get expensive pretty fast depending on your usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating a content-rich application, Contentful allows us to manage content in one place and distribute to all sorts of different platform. The API calls are really fast and the documentation of each language is very well documented.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are migrating from legacy systems like Wordpress, I highly encourage you to test out headless CMS. I think Contentful is a leading expert in the market and it is extremely easy to implement.
More than just a content management system —A full API that works flawlessly!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Contentful is that we were up and running in minutes. We needed an API to go live but didn't have the time or resources to build everything in house. The second thing that I really love is the caching system. We perform a change and it's live immediately, no need to do anything else, and we love that!
What do you dislike about the product?
For our use, it's missing the possibility to add logic to the fields. We would like to simplify the templates for the editors, so that they focus on the important fields... a little bit of logic would be great for that (if a, then do not display this field, etc).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentful has allowed us to go live in minutes with a rock-solid API. It would have taken us months to come up with an alternative (we developed a data collection software, and Contentful powers the surveys).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For headless CMSs, it's hard to beat and the free plan is generous
Reliable & Mature
What do you like best about the product?
While building a new software with a lot of unknowns, one of the best decisions a software company can make is to use Contentful to tackle the complexities with highly reliable and flexible content infrastructure.
The core product is very simple and efficient, scales from beginning to end. On top, it offers a great marketplace (and ability to build your own apps/extensions) that makes Contentful the winner of its own market.
Highly recommended.

What do you dislike about the product?
UX has some room for improvements, and company seems to be already working hard on adressing it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Contentful for storing and managing highly dynamic data that is subject to change often structurally. Some ofthese data is partially business logic, some of them are layout (yes - we use Contentful as a layout editor as well!) Contentful not only makes it possible, it also provides a neat interface to manage it so we don't have to re-invent the wheel. For us, it's way beyond a CMS actually.

The best modern CMS
What do you like best about the product?
We tried just about all the headless CMS solutions, and Contentful was the most polished, most fully-featured, and was the easiest for non-technical team members to figure out and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
GraphQL is the future of APIs, and most small startups use it now, but it is limited to the higher-level plans.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Contentful to manage everything from our websites and landing pages, to which sponsors to display on which programs, to configuration options and translations for in-person displays.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Contentful is a great option, and by far the most polished one we evaluated.
Implementation is accessible to all.
What do you like best about the product?
Even for those not used to CMS, the UI is simple and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Spaces and users need a certain amount of development.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to use and super clean to enjoy so much. LOVE how our different parties will receive updates and review their different sections. Nevertheless, it is not possible to chat on the forum with direct support or assistance. Spaces and client interfaces were also available in different packages-this would help us increase the size.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is important to choose the right partner to introduce so that items are not left as highly customisable.
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.
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.
How our nonprofit team of 4 can compete with multi-million dollar companies
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful sites gracefully in the space between developers and content creators. As a solo dev, I've been able to give a team of 10 writers and 2 editors the ability to run with content and control it in a way with out static site builder that looks great and out-performs competitors on SEO.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's getting better, but migrating content to new models is a bit tough. However as a solo designer/dev for Upsolve, it's also a matter of being constrained by time with other business needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Programmatically handling content is critical if we want to make more compelling web experiences and serve better SEO information to search engine crawlers. We're already dominating competitors with rich snippets.
Contentful is how the future of all CMS should be.
What do you like best about the product?
A lot to love about Contentful. Very easy to use for the end user, slick and simple user interface and support for GraphQL. Awesom support and super-fast CDN. Easy to extend via Plugins and a very clean API.
What do you dislike about the product?
Contentful has a notion of "Links" which can be many objects or one. However, would be great if we can model the reverse relationship without doubling the work (i.e. specify the children AND parent of each object).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating various CMS platform under one 'Content Platform', the benefits are speed, agility and one source of truth.
