Gather content
What do you like best about the product?
It was a reliable solution to improve our content marketing policy. User friendly, time saving and no need to spend hours in meetings!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would need some guidelines concerning picture/ video quality and size
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Best to share , inform on changes and structure your content
Your best alternative!!!
What do you like best about the product?
These are some advantages:
- Guiderails: Inside the WYSIWYG editor, you can drag and drop new content elements, ranging from single lines of text to radio buttons to file attachments. What set this apart for me was the option to enter microcopy (a guiderail for content creators) and character/word limits. When editors are working on the page, mousing over a content element reveals the microcopy. When entering content, GatherContent tracks how much has been written.
- One-click basic site outline: This site map is automated, so that – as you build pages or drag over a sitemap into GatherContent – the site outline is always ready to be viewed, no work necessary. Sweet.
- Progress bar: It's one of those things a project manager obsesses over. GatherContent puts that right in everyone's face, with a clean little green/orange distinction.
- Create parts: That felt a bit strange to me. At least none of the CMS I've encountered made defining new parts so simple. For a product like this, that kind of customization might be brilliant.

What do you dislike about the product?
A couple less alluring perspectives:
- Concealed usefulness: Perhaps it was me, however there were certain tasks that I struggled with (assigning a page to a user, attaching content emailed to the project to a page, etc.). They can be done okay, but it took me a while to figure it out. Apparently, if you use this a bit, though, that issue disappears.
- No email push settings: This was more problematic. GatherContent sends project members emails every time something happens to pages you're working on. "You were assigned a page," etc. This is great, but – if you were working on a large project – it could soon become overwhelming. If there was anywhere in GatherContent you could change your notification status (what types of activities push you an email), I couldn't find it.
- No export directly to a CMS: This feels like a pretty essential function. I mean, you've developed a load of content in this awesome content workflow tool; now you want to publish it. Errrr, it'll only export as PDF or through an API (which is all cool if you have developers in your enterprise to code that for you – and I guess that's their target audience). Plugins to export directly to WordPress and ExpressionEngine are still inactive. Sigh.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GatherContent allows you to create layouts, assign tasks, set due dates, manage status, track history, comments, and much more! It's easier for me to manage, edit, review, and approve the website content, and for my team to ensure they have the final version to integrate into the site.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have any problem, you can contact support; they are very nice. You obviously need an internet connection. You must try it!!!

creating
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Gather to manage some copies, now that I'm creating templates, managing many reviewers ... and I'm looking at another level of the tool that really helps me make sure that the content created is consistent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration of new projects may seem confusing at first. Everything else would not change anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing multiple stakeholder reviews, it was a nightmare for the writer who used follow up changes. It is also transparent, collaborative and more efficient for all.
Good for gathering content only
What do you like best about the product?
This is a great online tool that prevents version control and can accommodate multiple stakeholders. Handles pasted links in very well
What do you dislike about the product?
The output of the document that is created can only be in certain formats. So in our case when we were using this to compile content for a newsletter there was some limitations with having it in a format that was good for the next production phase
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
how to accommodate multiple stakeholders and prevent version control
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the trial service to see if it is right for your business problem first but the price isn't bad either to initially invest in
Streamlined Content
What do you like best about the product?
The site is simple and intuitive. It didn't take long for me to understand the ins and outs.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I first used it, I was confused momentarily because when I sent the assignment to the next stage, it showed that it was updating only me and not the other people I was working with. However, the other people I was working with did indeed get a notification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GatherContent makes publishing articles fast and easy.
Keeps everything in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to navigate, keeps everything neat

slow loading times sometimes, makes it hard to access certain things

sometimes it would be slow but in someways its really helpful and save time

Great for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Gather Content is good for collaboration and creating an organized workflow. It does require some training, but once you've got it down, it's a helpful tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a very intuitive platform. You need to be trained on how to use. It's also strange how you need to tag people you'd like to see your comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Gather Content for multiple projects, but most notably, we used it to build a new website from scratch, and collaborate with our agency and developers. It streamlined everything so we didn't have to email or conference call.
