Contentful Reviews & Product Details

One of the key features of contentful is the flexibility to create and combine content through its template. What is make it really powerful is the graphQL API

With so many nested template is hard to preview for non technical person the final content, which sometimes require double effort

Dinamic content on any website, as well as, complex configuration settings

Contentful has a really nice ecosystem of SDKs, APIs and associated tools to support integration, automation and developer experience.

There's a good deal of documentation available online, but it's somewhat difficult to navigate & fragmented (developer portal, API reference, forum, etc.) Docs could do with some tidying up & iA oversight.

We wanted to augment content metadata published from an inflexible master system of record without the overhead of having to introduce a 'heavyweight' CMS. We can leverage Contentful's management API to push update messages to Contentful, have content editors apply metadata updates, and then leverage Contentful's rich webhook integration options to push updates to a production cache of content metadata.

The fact you can use the software easily with tutorials in case you need help getting started.

There wasn't much to dislike from this software. The software makes it simple for beginners who never had experience in website building.

How to start up my online pet store and make the site flawless.

It's easy to create contents. Just a minute, you can create content with their powerful tools. Contentful makes all content accessible via an API, so that developers can take, access, and display content anywhere and in any platforms.

Little bit slower for publishing content.

I only prepare content then Contentful delivering my content.

The way that you collect and reach out to your content

The limited use of it for being mostly developer friendly environment.

We host multiple websites of our clients, and the structures and whole content we use for those websites are now managed by contentful. This is the piece of mind.

We like the support for multiple languages along with the APIs they provide. Our developers love it. We also like the integration with AWS Lambda & API gateway.

We are still in pilot phase. So far so good.

We publish lot of blog posts for our customers. Sometimes we publish 30-40 blog posts a week. Most of the content is related to tech and how customers can use different services. We are able to gauge how much impact is it creating based on the analytics.

Contentful markets to devs a fair amount, but the product is pretty great for us end users too. The page hierarchies are super clear. It's really easy to create new pages, and not break everything, and not have to beg your web dev to prioritize your project. Easy to use dashboard keeps everything in control. Also has really good author/user controls compared to other CMS.

It's harder to hack together a page with Contentful than it is on Wordpress in the HTML view, but that's probably a good thing, since you won't have marketers coming in and breaking everything :).

It's a great tool for launching custom landing pages and microsites for campaigns (like say, for events). You can easily use a single template then continue to reuse it.

The UI is really nice. I have a lot of flexibility around configuration. I also like how much I was able to do just using the free version of their application. Having all my content in one place is great too.

Can't view how the page is structured - cross-browser. Kinda slow at times when doing more complex tasks

We have a bunch of people managing content and we're also about to launch a new website.

I mostly use Contentful's CMS interface. It's easy for a large team to manage and update. We built our site using components and the content model is well suited for translating those components into content types and pages. We have built two iterations of our site on Contentful. Our developers love building with Contentful's framework. It gives us a lot of flexibility and allows our staff to have more control over content that isn't so dependent on code.

There's no out-of-the-box blog solution so we use a third-party blogging platform.

We're a nonprofit so we need to have a site that can handle both evergreen and new content.

Extensive feature set, good documentation

Some technical challenges when integrating

My business has a new website with its content managed by Contentful. Contentful's service has given us the freedom to use our preferred tools and platforms to build the website, while taking away the headaches of creating our own CMS or using a tightly integrated 3rd party CMS. Content is managed by a number of different people with varying technical skills. The clarity and simplicity of the Contentful features and interfaces makes it straight forward to maintain our content and train new staff in how to do so. In addition, the fine grained user permissions and roles allow us to restrict editing of specific content to certain trusted users. This was a key requirement for us. From a technical perspective, after initial trial and error and some hiccups, the integration and tooling provided by Contentful helped us get up and running quickly. Contentful's documentation is very thorough and their support very responsive, so any issues we had were quickly resolved. I would happily recommend Contentful to businesses looking for a powerful and flexible CMS solution.
