Butter CMS Reviews & Product Details

It was easy to use and provided the flexiblity we needed.

I didn't find anything we didn't like about the solution.

It gave us the ability to update photos and text on our mobile app.

The ease of use and javascript library is great.

None for now. It is a great tool for building nextJs e-commerce websites.

We use it for dynamically updating page title and description without needing to re-deploy the website(mostly SEO)

Very user-friendly platform for non-technical people to add, edit, and manage content with minimal training/experience. This was my first time using a CMS and I found it relatively straightforward.

While this may be just because I was a user of the platform (i.e., not the one who implemented it), there was some confusion about pages vs. posts vs. other content, but that was ultimately sorted out.

As a non-technical person, it allowed us to do things like update our user manuals and other website help-text without having to do a full deployment on our site.

As a developer, I like the most how easy to understand their API documentation is. Also, the fact it can be implemented in several languages makes it even more helpful. Finally, in case you need it, Customer Support will readily be there to help you, and they have different code examples that can walk you through the implementation process.

There is nothing I can think of now. If anything, I have not much experience in the UI for writing blog posts so it might seem foreign to me when trying to figure out how to structure blog posts, for example.

We use ButterCMS as a tool for non-tech people to write blog posts. Before, the dev team would have to be in charge of adding the blog posts made by the marketing site to the project, which takes time. Now they can upload it themselves, thanks to their UI, and it will be fetched automatically.

Flexible CMS with a lot of features, like Text, Images, Collections, Components that can be reused across pages and of course a great support, that answers your questions very fast.

There are still can be more features like repeater of components inside other component.

It allows to reduce implementation time for new pages, allows to chage content quickly. Provides Blog Posts, Pages features, different Environments support.

I've developed in nearly every legacy CMS from Umbraco to Wordpress and drupal to e-comm specific CMS's like Shopify and Magento... but once you go headless, it is so hard to go back. Before Butter I even dipped my toe in the water with Contentful and other legacy CMS that claim to have headless capability (looking at your Drupal) but I eventually settled on Butter. Butter has one of the cleanest and easy-to-use API's on the market and a good balance between price and functionality, without the bloat of the past (headless drupal). Butter also has SDK's available for a whole host of languages making it even quicker to get to market. While Contentful does have more features at the present time, but it has the cost to come with it. While Butter does cater to larger companies, they are also more accessible in terms of price points than several of their competitors (Contentful included). Update and Improvements are also coming on at a good steady pace.

- It would be nice to have some additional "pages" vs price points across all their plans... contentful offers 25k "objects" even on their free tier. - A plug-in or Marketplace of add-ins would be nice to extend the capability of the CMS on the backend. E.g. SEO plugins, writing assistants, DAM's or Dropbox for asset upload etc. - Would be nice to have proxied DNS for CDN locations for images/assets etc, to improve the appearance and make it easier to re-wrap Butter into API's of our product.

- easy separation of concerns between content, code, and design/templates. - marketer and developer-friendly.

The seamless Ruby on Rails integration with code samples.

I wish the lowest plan was maybe a little cheaper...

The backend CMS part of it is super robust like Wordpress, with the ability to completely customize your front-end.

It's super easy to setup and use in development, setting up keys to identify content, and quickly viewing a example response from the api buttercms dashboard gives you confidence to implement the calls in your codebase and map the data structures to the relevant places.

We haven't run into anything problematic just yet! :)

We've decoupled the addition/updating of marketing/dynamic content from our different teams, from something that only the development team would be able to do previously with new releases, to something the marketing team can do at any moment.

The customer support team is highly responsive and willing to help me in any way. Especially when it comes to data migration from one environment to another environment, They are more than just helpful. Friendly UI to manage contents

IT would be great if there's a way to migrate content without asking the customer support team. But Them being available to me and supportive was super helpful.

Dynamic content with simplicity to support SEO without having to re-deploy our apps, I could change the customer-facing content quickly with a friendly UI that enables non-technical people to manage the platform.

The CMS has everything you need to publish your content in quickly and easily. There's no faff with ButterCMS. And if you do need any help, they are always on hand to help you via their livechat.

No real downsides to ButterCMS; it does everything we need it to.

We needed a CMS to house all our content that had fast load times and didn't need a lot of development time to implement. ButterCMS fit the bill perfectly.

Adding content to whatever framework you want is extremely easy with ButterCMS. I am very impressed with this workflow, and will recommend ButterCMS in the future.

There are certain features that are missing that would be desireable, but Nikki from ButterCMS is extremely welcoming on any feature requests, so I feel assured that feedback is listened to and considered.

We were able to create a generalized PageType with a bunch of "components" (writeable data groupings) that can be added to a "page" at will. Through this, we created complementing React components that would render each of these page components and consumed them in a constructor that would then render them in the order added in ButterCMS. This allows us to create any page we want via Butter, and then it will immediately be added to our website.

It was really easy to get started and retrieve some response from the api.

I wish there's a way to get a timestamp of every publish, and the ability to revert back to a specific timestamp to restore previous changes.

We needed an easy way for administrators to update the content w/o needing to push code to our repo, and butter CMS provided that.

I like the easy to use page design functionality. It is super intuitive and works great. Additionally, when a certain aspect of the preview functionality wasn't working correctly with out setup (and this had to do with an issue that was specific to our existing website), Butter CMS Made a code change to fix our problem in UNDER 3 DAYS. This just shows their incredible customer service and willingness to do whatever it takes to meet your needs.

The only qualm I have about this software is the inability to push content from stage->production. Although, this can be overcome by simply creating a draft of your page on production, and waiting to publish it, it would be ideal to be able to work on stage, then push any content to prod. (You can push schema from stage to prod, but not page content)

We're solving the problems we were facing by using an outdated inefficient CMS, we have realized improved user experience from our customers, as well as an easier to manage CMS.

Butter CMS was extremely easy to integrate into our Node.js application and the docs made everything clear. The interface/UI was easy to use and packed with enough features to act as an excellent blogging platform. Post/Page data was always lightning fast to load. The support was always friendly and helpful.

The pricing tiers may not match all use cases.

Setting up a CMS was too much overhead for our lightweight application. Butter CMS made adding an SEO optimized block to your site extremely easy.

I like the simplicity of ButterCMS. I used many platforms before and ButterCMS is the easiest to use as far as I know. Especially formatting texts such as font, text size, heading...etc is so flexible and I do not have to be limited by the given options.

Setting up takes time, but once you set up everything, it will go smoothly. Also, if it would be perfect if we can decide the space between the rows. For the technical writers, the size of code snippets might be a problem.

I am uploading technical articles and it makes uploading and publishing processes easier than other platforms. Simple and flexible. I can play with my texts like I am working on Word. That's the best part.

I've reached out to the Butter CMS support staff several times, and each time, they have been extremely responsive, helpful, and comprehensive! In her latest response, Nikki included a video and a screenshot to help diagnose and walkthrough the problem, which proved invaluable to my team.

I don't have anything to share for this.

I am primarily using butter to add content to our company's website.

They have clear documentations and an easy to use API.

They can send too many email reminders for various things at times.

It's a great headless CMS service to integrate a blog in custom coded sites.

Butter was easy to use and implement. I was looking to ship something quick and Butter definitely didn't disappoint!

We haven't found anything we dislike yet.

Replaced our custom CMS. Saved me a bunch of work. Increased our app performance.

Easy to use, amazing support team that are fast and reliable.

User management is a little clunky, but workable.

Butter CMS has really helped us manage our blog content in a consistent, reliable fashion.

ButterCMS is very useful in giving us the flexibility to create a website exactly to our liking through code, while still allowing the content to be edited without the need to know how to write code. I also appreciate the great customer support that is received when we have questions or issues.

there is nothing I do not like about ButterCMS

We are able to make changes to our website without having to always ask a developer to make the changes for us
