Hygraph Reviews & Product Details

Wonderful platform that serves your needs with ease.

I honestly don't have any complaints at all.

Great CMS, fast data delivering and very ease and intuitive UI/UX.

Hygraph's federated content approach has significantly simplified building JAM stacks. The developer support is unmatched and has been invaluable to integration.

It can be overly complex to create and publish large mutations, an issue that results in additional unecessary fetch requests.

Hygraph provides a dependable BaAS solution that I can trust while scaling my Nuxt 3 projects.

The Content Management system, the schema & relation definitions, the GraphQL API explorer

None. It's perfect in all the use cases I require

It helps update my website content super fast & easy

It is really user friendly and organized

I still have issues maneuvering my way around the API playground. But that's from my side. I'll catch up soon

The issue of having a DB and managing it.

Hygraph makes creating complex schema simple. The UI is masterfully done, providing the ability to quickly prototype a ready-to-use API for your next idea.

The API could be slow sometimes, ranging from 1-8 seconds.

I'm able to build apps for my clients while giving them the power to update content without my intervention. It's simple to use and quick to set up.

We recently switched to GraphCMS after our we outgrew our in-house CMS. The experience has been absolutely wonderful. - The support team is top notch. Everyone at GraphCMS has been excellent and exceptionally helpful while we built out our data model and integrations. The team is incredibly responsive and receptive to new features ideas. 10/10. - Incredibly versatile data model structure that has allowed to bake our schema into GraphCMS. This makes extending features very easy. - The API Playground is an awesome tool that's saved us countless hours debugging and testing. - Webhook functionality is great.

There are some minor bugs that we've noticed, notably with regards to certain file types (font files specifically) becoming unavailable. The UI is a little bit cluttered but we've also got a fairly complicated data model in GraphCMS so that definitely adds to it. But overall everything has been amazing.

We use GraphCMS to host content and configuration for our customers and then use a serverless application to bring those assets over and serve them. GraphCMS has allowed us to focus more on development time while giving content editors more flexibility in how they create and use content. The system we have now is much faster, quicker, responsive, and more secure than our old process.

Well, it is a very revealing feeling to start working with GraphCMS (Hygraph) after trying other similar solutions. When you are a developer working with bleeding-edge technologies and frameworks such as React and NextJS you need an exceptional solution for content API that seamlessly integrates with your current technology and I believe that GraphCMS has done an amazing job by providing such a solution whether you are starting a simple marketing website or trying to build the more complex solution. The learning curve of GraphCMS is simply amazing as they provide real project examples, their documentation is clear and the interface is intuitive. It is a GraphQL CMS and it is behind the scene making your queries easy to structure and adapt to your needs. Overall very pleasant experience.

Rich text field inside component does not support embedded feature. It would be amazing to add it there. Other than that we are still discovering all amazing features.

Seamless integration with NextJS and many other frameworks. GraphQL-based means you can easily construct simple and complex queries in the question of minutes. They provide a great playground for that even if you are not familiar with GraphQL. Unified content API. Connect your website, your app, or any other platform.

The api-driven headless approach was one key aspect driving our decision to run this pilot with GraphCMS. From the Agency point of view, we required a scalable on-demand solution that is able to cover our technical requirements without the need for further infrastructure - reducing the cost of ownership for system setup and ops resources. For our developers it GraphCMS supports easy integration with most modern tech stacks (ReactJS in our case) - everything is well documented. The OOTB support for GraphQL allows our Frontend developers to concentrate on building features without involving backend developers for API adjustments. They can swiftly built and test queries inside GraphCMS intuitive UI which allows us to flexibly shape the content models and test the outcome almost immediately in the frontend.

There is nothing we disliked so far. Overall we also liked the easy-to-use interface for content managers, the detailed developer resources and documentation for various tech stacks as well as having a Customer Success Manger from GraphCMS on our side offering quick support when needed.

For our client - being a global organisation - it is always challenging to provide local solutions for individual subsidiaries - especially of the requirements are so specialised that we cannot make use of the existing components offered in their Enterprise CMS. Usually local solutions would be built statically to be packaged and uploaded into AEM. Of course this comes with some drawbacks - in particular for maintenance and continuous content updates The current technical static setup and code-base for our project was too rigid for easy maintenance and regular updates. We needed a scalable and proven solution to deliver content in a flexible, design-agnostic way into our new React based SPA (Single Page Application). It should be easy to onboard new content managers and publishers to enable them for fast content updates while allowing the developers to work on critical features and enhancements.

It's simple to undertand, and the GraphQL explorer is great

Nothing so far...it's been serving my purposes well

I needed a CMS that I could utilise with nuxt.js or Gatsby, and it has solved the problem well. I also looked into Storyblok and Sanity and this came out on top. I had some issues getting started and the chat support was excellent

It comes with speed and GraphQL integration, and it's very lightweight. It doesn't come packed with features I won't use; I can set up my own schema and have only what I need available. If I need to add new fields later, I don't have to break my entire website to do it. Overall I'm very happy with GraphCMS, as it provides exactly what I need.

EDIT: I just noticed that I can save my column configuration as a custom view! Zero complaints now. :) [This is a very tiny nitpick, but when I view content I've created I have to customize the column view each time as it doesn't seem to get saved. Sometimes I'm working in split-screen view and I'd like to be able to see the content title without having to scroll right. I feel like the title should be further, if not furthest to the left anyway.]

I have an easy and simple way to store all my project information for my personal portfolio, and it has been a joy to work with.
