"Useful/Pleasant"
What do you like best about Contentful?

It is one of the best "places"/platforms to create online content. Its user interface is well built and helpful and - which is no small feat for people who have to work with it for many an hour - the overall look and feel and the graphics are pleasant to look at.

What do you dislike about Contentful?

It took a bit to get used to the interface, but once you got used to it, it becomes very intuitive. But "at first sight" it appears to be a bit confusing (it actually isn't but still...)

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

It brings a lot of different "outlets" together. Newsletter, Articles, Audio. This helps immensely to save on time and staff because you have it ALL in one place.

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

For me personally, it's the ease of the content modeling. I can easily model my content type and I can create whatever I want inside of it. I can also add validation on an individual field level which is really awesome

What do you dislike about Contentful?

Limits of the APIs. Like no nested queries in graphql and the query complexity constantly give me restrictions. This is not so big of an issue if you ask me at least.

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

As I mentioned already it's content modeling. Also, something that I appreciate is the user permissions part. I can easily enable/disable anything for any user group which is just awesome!

"Contentful has been amazing to work with. "
What do you like best about Contentful?

Contentful has been amazing to work with. I put it in a position to have the substance for my product advancement organization, and it has been a breeze to utilize and make articles to create inbound traffic. I've conversed with a couple of staff individuals for help and they're in every case really fast and well-disposed. fantastic organization to work with up until this point. It permits the formation of virtual gatherings in a computer-generated simulation or metaverse tool, permitting our workers and designers to expand their imaginations and study this innovation.

What do you dislike about Contentful?

The setup was not all that simple and having the option to speak with the specialized group was likewise a troublesome errand. However, we had the option to make it happen and begin utilizing it. A few clients are finding it a bit challenging to adjust to computer-generated reality. That is the reason we are involving it for the second time just in the imaginative division and with clients from that equivalent office. Having a rapid web association is key for the tool to appropriately work.

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

Contentful makes my life a ton simpler by permitting me to make and oversee content for my page without changing the source code. I would alter these pages physically, and on the off chance that a client needed a change, I would need to go change the code to match their substance. Contentful permits me to hand a sign-in to these clients so they can undoubtedly change it but additionally permits me to think of one page that makes a common layout for normal substance. It's very astonishing. Inside the tool, it permits the formation of symbols, which act as though they were cooperating face-to-face, having the option to tweak them as indicated by the actual attributes wanted. Even though we are using it for the second time in the creative division, we recommend this program to all organizations that need to improve and make a stride past their rivals, since it will make them stick out and a lot more clients will move toward their administrations and items.
