It fills a specific gap in any digital ecosystem and makes it easy to maintain or insert vast sets of content.
At scale it becomes too expensive and the business case to integrate/build it yourself becomes more healthy.
Fast, easy and most of all integrated content information.
What I liked best about Contentful was the ability to make changes throughout the entire website due to its headless format.
The learning curve is a bit steep, and depending on what features you'd like, having a developer on the team is a must.
Contentful allows us to optimize SEO with ease.
Something that I like about this tool is that it allows, in an understandable and, above all, reliable way, the possibility of sharing content on any platform without having to activate or integrate other systems. This cloud-based tool has a good alert system, without leaving aside security with its access controls, this being a good multi-channel marketing tool available in several languages
My experience with the tool has not had any problems, it has quite sophisticated functions and is aimed at new professionals, this system allows the content scheduling processes to be more precise and more reliable in the times that the professional schedules
What I like the most about this tool is its versatility and the ease it shows from the first time they register; the tool allows you to distribute the contents, it also allows you to create the entries that are required without problems
Contentful is a very robust CMS that can accomplish a lot. We were looking into it for multi-country translations.
We were hoping for a simipler solution. However, the build was more intensive then our ROI.
A content management system. For us it didn't meet our needs since it was too advanced.
The modularity of Contentful is fantastic. If a single entry gets changed, any references to that entry will also be updated, saving the editor loads of time.
The modularity has its downsides -- if we want to copy pages in the CMS, we can not use the native "Duplicate" feature because all modules on Page B are references to page A.
We needed a headless CMS that would be easy to stand up for our developers and easy for content editors to use. Contentful's UI feels really intuitive.
Great UI, easy to set up, comprehensive features, fantastic API, great documentation
A/B tests are critical. Buying a separate tool for this is a big disadvantage / gap. Hopefully, a native A/B framework is in the works.
Ability to define & publish custom data types and schedule those to go live. We've also used this to schedule thematic / branding changes during seasonal campaigns (ex: color, images, gradients, etc.)
Very robust and modular CMS. Easy to reuse content blocks.
Limit on content models can be an issue.
Robust CMS that lets us easily create content.
The ease of use is the best part. We have users from different teams with different experiences and tech skills using Contentful and everyone is able to quickly do all fixes and updates for the website.
We are using Gatsby for our website and we have some issues with preview builds - we'd need to wait for 10-15 minutes to see the preview. We've fixed it now with a new Gatsby Cloud update.
Our website is built on Gatsby and before Contentful only engineers could do changes to the website. Contentful enabled our marketing team to own a marketing website and be able to make all of the updates much faster.
The solution is completely integrated with our headless e-commerce and allows us to handle content with a lot of flexibility.
Onboarding could be improved so we can be completely autonomous and handle our content models better.
Handle a seamless front for our web and native solution
Customization. You can create your own custom models and attributes. It will pretty much meet all your requirements out of the box.
It would be nice if there was a powerful WYSWYG editor that could be enabled by default/
We moved away from shopify and contentful helped us with all what's related to our content (pages / posts / pdps).
