Contentful Reviews & Product Details

The UX for contentful is very intuitive and makes it so much easier for users to create and manage the site content

There was no option to have HTML embed content

Helping to create a well managed site, the content model has helped in doing so

I enjoy Simple UI that gets the job done which contentful has. Offers extras like SSO

not issues that we have encountered, we have been very happy with contentful

Having a single source of truth has been great for our developer team

Solid SaaS with continuous improvements and expansion in functionality, which means that the product continues to evolve to meet current-day needs.

The tooling could be improved to support different platforms (right now it's quite web-technologies oriented).

Improving speed and efficiency of content delivery, unlocking personalized experiences, and speed to market for content-based experiences.

Being able to schedule posting + immediate publishing

Can be hard to find the correct component I'm looking to edit

Having to wait for a regular cadence to run scripts to publish new app creative. with Contentful, am able to publish immediately to serve urgent business needs

We use the product for all our environments and it's a central repository for all our feature and needs. Very easy to work with and intuitive ineterface.

You can't just give access to one environment specifically like just qa access

Setting up content for the site and also content as per conditions

I find contentful Apps very useful, I love custom fields

Moving data between environments, there's still room for improvement in that area, I don't think the CLI is doing a good job in making it easier to move data between environments

Static Site generation Content management by a large marketing team

I like Contentful very much to integrate with React. It saves a lot of time to create multiple pages on gatsby js. Rich text rendering with references, fetching data in graphql way, Locales.

1. Unable to fetch the field data in graphql, without adding the placeholder in contentful. 2. We can see the last updated user name, but are unable to see what they updated the data. 3. We need the filter like this, Assume after selecting the page type, there is a field contententries. we can add multiple component types in contententries. _Page: Basic -> contententries -> Element: CTA. We need the filter like all the CTA entry available inside the contententries of Basic page. 4. When creating Locales, It is showing more text boxes for each locale. It is a little awkward to see. you can put a filter option to see the particular locale.

1.Rich text references helped so much. Content authors can easily add the different types of content types in rich text. Developers also easily extract the content type and render the component. 2. component created in gatsby js against each contentful content type and re-used the component with different data from contentful

I like how easy and simple the tool is for implementation but also changes.

It can be very manual especially when you need to every time you make a change ensure all the other steps are also published again.

We managed to reduce our dependency in the tech team on the small changes and build landing pages way more efficiently.

The flexibility that Contentful provides was a key benefit for our team. It allowed us to build customized placements in our mobile app without overcomplicating the deployment process. Our marketing team can easily deploy messaging via our CRM/Automation platform to these custom placements throughout our app by simply building the content in Contentful using pre-built templates. It's reduced our team's dependency to secure engineering resources for simple changes or message deployments into the app. Contentful has been a great way to enable multiple teams across our business, from Operations to Care.

The content customization options are lacking. The text editor sections only allow you to input text to a field but don't allow you to customize your text (bold/underline/colors/etc.). The customization is built into the template/placement by devs/engineering, which isn't ideal for marketers when we'd like to emphasize or draw attention to one part of your copy. This is where the "flexibility" begins to break down.

The main problem we solved was enabling the marketing and other operational teams to quickly and efficiently deploy messaging into our mobile app with little effort. We've realized the tremendous benefit of freeing up dev and engineering resources to focus on other critical feature rollouts. We're also able to deploy messaging without an app update release which reduces the amount of time needed to complete projects. Having the ability to change and update content on the fly, even after deployment, has been beneficial—errors and mistakes are resolved at a much faster pace than before.

It's very straightforward and easy to navigate. I'm an intern and I have never worked with a content management system before but contentful was easy to pick up within a couple of days.

I personally don't know any yet but I've only been working with it for about 8 weeks.

My team is organizing content on Contentful so that we can use it as our CMS in the rest of our company.
