Clean architectural approach, fast API, image optimization, new pricing and great support. Great to see how the system evolves and improves. More apps are incoming to the market. Very easy to extend and add additional functionality if necessary. Cross-spaces - great thing to have.
Some limitations for UI changes, Many potential improvements to fields management are not there yet and rely on extensions, like conditional fields etc. Content types usage limitation - much better with new prices
Managing Content team with roles & permission, managing markets/locales. Providing clean and stable forms for managers to work with. It also allow us to limit them from changes to the front end. Great image optimisation and much better workflows comparing to previous CMS experience.
Cloud-based platform for managing the contents. Seamless implemetation. Asset management
Rich Text Editor, Compose Pricing, Releases.
Managing the contents, Less code implementation with graphql, quicker build, Preview options
How much information there is, and how flexible the whole product it.
Nothing in particular to mention. The tool is great and does what we need.
We reduced to cost to new features, by using a much simpler approach. We also are able to give production users much more options in how they structure the content.
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.
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.
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.
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.
While they offer a generous free plan, the pricing could get expensive pretty fast depending on your usage.
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.
Getting started was very quick. We don’t have to worry about security updates, fixing issues that cause downtime, or managing the global network that serves the CDA. We don’t have to worry about developing/supporting the core features of the CMS UI, and a lot of what we need exists in Contentful as standard fields or UI patterns. Over the lifespan of our project, we have constantly noticed improvements in functionality and admin/editing UI. The continuous development of Contentful is evident with daily use. The CMA is also quite nice, offering clear verification steps during migrations that make for good record keeping.
Some developer-facing tools/docs are lacking, but that has improved over time. Still, it can be difficult to find the docs you need unless you know the terminology you’re searching for (e.g. UI Extension SDK). Building more relational queries in a single request (i.e. using GraphQL) would be very nice, but that function only comes at very high price tiers. Multilingual data entry UI really needs improvement. For a site that supports many languages the UI becomes unmanageable with duplicated fields everywhere. Although Contentful is often marketed as a “backend-free” solution, any amount of customization to the existing CMS patterns involves some backend work, either within the consumer app or with the CMA doing migrations and so forth.
We built a content publishing system. We have rapidly evolved a legacy system of PDF downloads to a modern, mobile-friendly CMS.
Contentful deals number of valuable functions and also it's extremely wise and also easy to make use of. The truth you could produce your very own information framework as well as information partnerships is so valuable as well as allows full versatility within jobs. They supply a relatively practical cost-free usage limitation and also you could slowly broaden even more with tiny month-to-month charges.
Picture uploading could be uncomfortable as well as needs it to be done individually by hand. Web page might be better. It is far better for brand-new tasks compared to for tradition ones.There might be another action in rates for little tasks like the one I typically handle.
Handling internet site information, internet material and also keeping record declare releasing online. Allows me to make use of the item throughout numerous systems.
The flexibility of configuration, one can say there is real freedom of shape around your data. O also like their pay-as-you-expand mechanics. They give a pretty reasonable free usage limit and you can gradually expand beyond that with small monthly fees. If not for that - we'd probably won't buy the typical tiers. In the sense that we manage sites content and application content there. If it was not for the flexible pricing for sure, we might end up writing custom code and database for the storage. But here the value/price is balanced.
Search and slicing the significant number of content pieces is pretty nasty, but they are continually tackling and improving that stuff.
We manage three websites data and some parts of our application content there. We were able to provide Marketing team with the easy interface to maintain and build the site. At the same time, we were able to keep design consistency because they can add only the content.
