"Simple headless CMS that keeps the content folks happy, and the software people even happier"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

This is a true headless CMS, and it really provides great functionality for the creative staff. The integration is simple, and once you introduce a little caching, it just adds tremendous value to any Web site invested in having an up-to-date blog.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

More functionality than we used, but that's a good thing.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Outsource the complexity of writing, editing, versioning, etc.

"Butter is just better"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS is simple and elegant! When I first started using Butter, I actually felt cool with it's UI and UX that's so easy to understand the gist of the whole product! And, it took a little time to get adjusted to the schema part, but, once I got the hang of it, it felt just so cool to work with it!

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Well, ButterCMS should have been able to provide an interface like Builder.io, where the Marketing team can make their UI adjustments without frequent involvement from the development team! There was WYSIWYG in ButterCMS that one of my managers researched but nonetheless declared it wouldn't solve it better than builder! Because Butter couldn't provide it, we have to now make the shift to Builder.io! I really wished I could have worked longer on ButterCMS! No problem - I will use ButterCMS for any project I take on where I have the say in the architecture!

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dynamizing the content across our site's homepages was the most common use-case we have of ButterCMS! Although I use it extensively for collections which I use to store certain data like Zendesk articles and their priorities to be dynamically assigned to the widget!

"EXTRAORDINARY Customer Support...on top of a great, intuitive product"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

The product is very easy to use, met our needs (was properly marketed - didn't oversell what it can do). The best part, though, was when we needed Customer Support. We were afraid it would be an English-as-a-Second-or-Third-Language speaker or some awful chatbot like Uber or Airbnb. Instead it was actual humans who (gasp) understood their platform and cared about our business. LIFETIME LOYALTY. Love this company.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Don't really have something bad to say. The product works. The support is great.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Feeding blog posts to our website. The benefits are obvious.

"Intuitive and easy to get started"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS UI and UX are intuitive, making it very easy to get started. Tutorials and documentation are to the point. Starter Apps and API Explorer are great resources to help get your client app up and running. Of the CMS solutions I tried, ButterCMS was the most intuitive and straightforward to use. Live chat support has also been very helpful.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

In a future release, I hope to see the ability to select or eliminate specific fields in a request.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Eliminating the need to build my own CMS; Intuitive interface allows me to quickly create backend content without a steep learning curve; Allows me to start working on the app front-end right away with well-defined backend headless CMS service;
