I like the system's flexibility - making advanced integrations possible - and the growing community; also, the support is impressive and readily available.
I guess I only dislike the fact it's not the default choice yet; also, it might be a little pricey for small projects.
Any situation that needs a database and a CMS.
Modular content allows to build complete pages by mix & matching different blocks, very flexible.
Pricing is a little more complicated than it used to be, but it's miles cheaper than alternatives. We tried dozen before settling on DatoCMS; the only one that comes close in terms of feature is Contentstack, but pricing is on another level.
We are using DatoCMS as a headless CMS for Gatsby. It works like a charm.
The complete flexibility of content! I can essentially build a custom database structure to fit our needs and then have an interface for editing live content on our marketing site.
I haven't had any issues yet. This product works very well.
DatoCMS powers our marketing site, which is where the majority of our inbound leads first get in contact with us. It has allowed me to build a marketing site using middleman, a technology I am comfortable with; while allowing my co-founder to add new content to our product without having to learn to code.
flexibility, ease of integration, ease of use and cost
Permission configuration, traceability of content usage and data acesso from API
single source of truth for our products and our websites. We only nedd update info in one place and after that all websites are updated
Global distribution and 0 devops needed. And quick and nice customer support on a free tier
Bidirectional relations missing require a little more work but it's fine. Request count went up fast, that's something to investigate.
No devops, no backend, works out of the box
I like how easy it is to use and its integration with GatsbyJS. The customer service also has been of great help to me. They were very responsive and helped me until the case was resolved.
There is nothing I do not like so far on DatoCMS.
Content creation. DatoCMS helps create a separation between the developers and the marketing team. My responsibility now as a developer is to make sure the contents are correctly displayed. I do not need to be the one to change the content from time to time as other users have access to the CMS.
Data modeling is easy to understand, tweak, and tailor to your need. Nothing is frozen and it's really easy to change your mind / data design. Graphql API makes it a joy to work with and integrate with Next or Gatsby. Image management with rich API & CDN is also a joy. Support is great too, and pricing is fair when you consider the other player in the same fields.
I would love to have reverse relationships for graphQL API: you have posts that belong to a category, you can get the linked category from the post, you can get all post for a given category, but you don't have a post collection on your category model. It seems really costly to do, and the workaround are not that bad,
Self-hosting a headless CMS is time-consuming, and a good CDN can be pricy. DATO does both with a great UX & DX.
The flexibility of it - we were able to build what we needed and continued to adapt
It requires a bit of competency -- one one of the people making updates through it has no prior website experiences and stumbled through it quite often
Using it for a restaurant website CMS, it's been great for flexibility and updates beyond user comptency
Super intuitive CMS and easy to use. I was able to modify content without training of any kind.
Little in the way of basic documentation - although this hasn't been too much of a problem.
CMS for a soon to launch website
The ease of use & flexibility of content models has been a breath of fresh air in comparison to other CMS's we've tried. We also love the admin dashboard because of how simple it is.
The new pricing structure has made things a bit difficult for smaller businesses to buy in.
The flexible content models and ease of use has made our agency creating unique user experiences on the web a breeze.
