"Great experience"
What do you like best about Contentful?

It’s a great software to track error codes and how they translate to other systems. Easy to use.

What do you dislike about Contentful?

I'm not sure that I dislike anything - It's quite an easy system to use for mapping these kinds of error codes. We use this to map multiple systems to one another

What problems is Contentful solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mapping error codes from one API to the backend system. It allows our UI to read errors

"Great headless CMS"
What do you like best about Contentful?

The admin editor interface and content type system is clear to use and works well. Easy on boarding of non technical users. The headless CMS concept in general is great.

What do you dislike about Contentful?

Quite a lot of of feature requests for new admin editor features which seem to be slow to progress.

What problems is Contentful solving and how is that benefiting you?

Content management systems - migrating especially from wordpress which was a nightmare to maintain and customise.

"Amazing!"
What do you like best about Contentful?

Contentful has been awesome to work with. I set it up to host the content for my software development company and it has been a breeze to use and create articles to generate inbound traffic. I've talked to a few staff members for help and they're always super quick and friendly. Fantastic company to work with so far!

What do you dislike about Contentful?

Nothing! It's been a great tool for my business and I haven't run into any problems using it so far. The API for JS was very easy to use and took me only a day to integrate into my website.

What problems is Contentful solving and how is that benefiting you?

Contentful makes my life so much easier by allowing me to create & manage content for my page without having to modify the source code. In the past, I would edit these pages manually and if a customer wanted an edit, I would have to go modify the code to match their content. Contentful allows me to hand a log in to these customers so that they can easily edit, but also allows me to write one page that creates a shared template for common content. It's really quite amazing :)

"Contentful is the most interactive way to bring remote employees together"
What do you like best about Contentful?

Allows the creation of virtual meetings in a virtual reality or metaverse platform, allowing our employees and developers to increase their creativity and learn more about this new technology. Within the platform, it allows the creation of avatars, which behave as if they were interacting in person, being able to customize them according to the physical characteristics desired. It also allows the creation of conferences, where the number of people that can enter is much higher, being able to dictate talks, meetings, courses, workshops, etc., in a different space than usual.

What do you dislike about Contentful?

The configuration was not so easy and being able to communicate with the technical team was also a difficult task, but we were able to do it and start using it. Some clients are finding it a bit difficult to adapt to virtual reality, that's why we are using it for the moment only in the creative department and with clients from that same department. Having a high speed internet connection is key for the platform to work properly.

What problems is Contentful solving and how is that benefiting you?

We started using this software in the creative department of the company with remote employees and clients who were out of town. We wanted to innovate by using a program where we could hold virtual meetings, conferences and seminars, all on a metaverse platform. The result was much more than we expected, as the clients noticed our ingenuity and creativity in using this type of program. Our employees feel much more motivated to develop all their creativity and ingenuity and it is giving us as a company, to know and experiment with this type of technology, leading us to be pioneers in our industry.

"Great experience implementing as an agency partner"
What do you like best about Contentful?

The best thing about Contentful is that you can truly use your content anywhere. You name the channel and Contentful will be able to deliver. It’s a welcome departure from the prescribed ‘one size fits all’ solutions you find with many CMS/DXP vendors. Contentful is almost 100% un-opinionated on how you develop your application, removing as many obstacles from the process as possible. This means our clients aspirations of a bespoke, best-in-class customer experience, that scales and adapts when they need it, can be readily achieved

What do you dislike about Contentful?

Some of the constructs and concepts can be a bit unfamiliar to those unfamiliar to headless CMS and require training

What problems is Contentful solving and how is that benefiting you?

Omni-channel delivery Speed to market Structured content Flexibility and agility of technology choices

"Great Tool, great service, happy customers"
What do you like best about Contentful?

Never ever in almost two years did we have any technical hick-ups – Contentful works ALL THE TIME! And when we reached our API limit, the customer service was very helpful!

What do you dislike about Contentful?

If there were one wish I could make: I would love to talk to the great customer service on the phone, I mean the online service is great, but sometimes a word in person is even quicker.

What problems is Contentful solving and how is that benefiting you?

The world is full of bad news – we at Good News work hard to find the best good news of the day and publish them via contentful to our 45k+ readers! Thanks to contentful, people hear about solutions to problems on our website and in our app.

"Awesome Website Builder"
What do you like best about Contentful?

Contentful's free version is relatively easy to use and awesomely robust compared to the WordPress alternative I've been using. I like how sleek and streamlined the end result is, and the learning curve isn't too steep. Makes converting website platforms a fairly headache-free process.

What do you dislike about Contentful?

In some ways, the UI seems more geared toward developers and not average/generalist users and marketing folks. For example, it's not always easy to preview changes as they'd appear to the end user and sometimes I have to work on a hunch of what will look good in the end. But none of this would prevent me from using Contentful going forward.

What problems is Contentful solving and how is that benefiting you?

WordPress has fallen out of favor as our website builder because of its known performance issues, especially its slow load time. WordPress has become too cumbersome and clunky with all its plugins (which, ironically, were developed to streamline the UX and UI), leading me to seek out other options, which is how I found Contentful.

"I've been using Contentful since the day I was hired from my company and it's very easy to use."
What do you like best about Contentful?

What I like best is managing content and customizing it. Also, how the teams can collaborate on a particular project is a plus. The platform gives a very user-friendly approach to beginners. I was able to familiarize the Contentful with minimal supervision.

What do you dislike about Contentful?

I dislike not being able to duplicate the content types created in a different environment. I worked on a specific project where we needed to deploy changes to production, and I kept getting errors whenever I duplicated the entry. It turned out to be there's no content type there. I can't proceed with the duplicating of entries.

What problems is Contentful solving and how is that benefiting you?

The benefit I realized using Contentful is the convenience it gives to manage every commerce site with colossal content. The content has a significant impact on our business, and this platform helps us connect with our clients.
