"Win-win"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

Both our team and clients are happy using DatoCMS. I especially like that our non-technical customers can easily make updates and that my team can focus on being a more strategic partner. I also like that my team is able to develop more quickly with fewer issues resulting in cost and time savings. Last but definitely not least, we've really enjoyed working with the DatoCMS team. They've been helpful and quite responsive.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

DatoCMS isn't as widely recognized as some competitors, so it can take a bit more time upfront to educate potential clients about its benefits.

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

DatoCMS is helping us move faster and is giving our clients more flexibility. It's a much more modern solution.

"A flexible and well-rounded CMS, with top-notch editor & developer experience"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

It is clear that the Dato team has put a lot of effort in understanding their users' needs. They value their customers and provide excellent support. From a developer standpoint, DatoCMS is simply amazing. There are just so many good features and the CMS is really easy to implement. The docs are great and thorough. The dozen of available starter projects help you get going real fast. The GraphQL Content Delivery API allows for full typesafety when using Typescript and codegen. Webhooks work great. And what I like the most, by building your own custom plugins, it is possible to extend the functionality of DatoCMS in any imaginable way. True flexibility.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

I have actually not found anything to dislike about DatoCMS in comparison to other CMS platforms.

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

For clients, we have used DatoCMS to build a great content management solution for marketing sites, and are currently implementing DatoCMS for a more advanced use case: an education platform, having the entirety of the admin portal inside of Dato using custom plugins.

"most partner-friendly CMS out there"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

It's easy to develop with DatoCMS our devs were able to put the first bits in the same day as we registered The interface is simple. DatoCMS provides great capabilities to Agencies and their customers - no need for an agency user in each customer account and collaborators solve issues with shared accounts which is a great addition to security Pricing is affordable

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

So far, everything is good. Of course, there are some small things here and there, but it's more a matter of my tastes

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

Decouple content from web-frontend this gives us flexibility with content management and allows us to offload content updates from developers

"Gets out of the way quickly."
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

It's simple to set up and integrate into your team's workflow. Our favorite features include the modular content fields, automatically optimized images and the structure text fields. The whole platform is a breeze from both a content editing and engineering perspective. Their support team is also super responsive and solved all our issues in no time.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

Finding reasons to dislike DatoCMS is challenging since it is an excellent platform. The only thing we couldn't integrate seamlessly was setting up build triggers for page spidering. We had to set up fake build pipelines because DatoCMS requires you to trigger a build before initiating page spidering. Our implementation doesn't require a full site rebuild, so that we could have just used a webhook.

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

We are using DatoCMS for all our content, from marketing pages to docs and our blog. It allows our designers to change content without requiring time from our engineers.

"All the features I needed plus a great overall experience"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

I like the separation of a hosted CMS but sometimes they lack the features and customisation you need. I spent a lot of time trialing platforms before I chose DatoCMS. It had all the features I needed plus the overall experience has been consistently great. The team are also very helpful and have gone beyond what I would expect.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

They've done a great job of covering all bases

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

Hosted headless CMS that does not compromise on features

"I never regretted choosing DatoCMS"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

DatoCMS has the features you need, not more of them not any less. I will be totally honest: in the first place, I appreciated its pricing as it has a very low starting point which was affordable for a startup. The preview feature with NextJS is game-changer, this integration is so powerful! I was very happy with its CDN: being able to share static assets with two clicks with such performance is vital for a startup like us. Adding internationalization to our homepage was super easy and quick. Integrating its Webhooks to existing Deployment Pipelines (Azure Pipelines in our case) was easy and fast.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

I won't compare here Headless CMS versus Traditional full-blown CMS as they are different paradigms with pros and cons that apply to all the products, not Dato specifically. I wasn't able to create a unique immutable URL for a PDF I uploaded in the DatoCMS Content CDN: I need to have a PDF with a URL that never changes even if I update the content, but I had to write some custom code.

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

We have to - have beautiful landing pages powered by our design system where Marketing should be able to update or create theme without Development effort - handle internationalized copywriting for both sites and apps - easily deploy static asset sharing URLs in different part of our company
