Hygraph Reviews & Product Details

We like the rich-text visual editor, the easy-to-use localization feature (our content is in 11 languages), GraphCMS’ scalability (several hundred thousand visitors per month) and the ability to write content into the CMS programmatically. Although our front-end design was ready before we chose GraphCMS, the integration was very fast.

GraphCMS is built to handle structured data, so its added value is lower if you are only handling freeform texts.

My team needed a scalable headless CMS for our homepage, company blog, and all of our periodic content. The set-up was very fast. Our backend developers don’t have to maintain the CMS; our frontend devs don’t need to bother the backend devs if they want to use or modify the GraphQL API.

The layout is very simple and straightforward. It is very easy to find what I need and add product models. I also really like the API playground feature. I also really love the simplicity of linking and adding assets.

Sometimes data does feel lost when there are a lot of schemas. When you go into the API playground from created content it loads way too much data. I think that should be far simpler.

Hygraph serves as our headless CMS and makes it very easy to deliver content to our website. The ease of use has vastly improved our overall team.

The dev team behind Hygraph has slowly been making changes that have immensely improved the experience of uploading content and getting it onto the website. A solid example of this is the set of updates to the rich text fields over the months - this made the process of formatting simple and straightforward.

Having an inbuilt live preview of published content would be a GREAT addition. It's a little time-consuming to make changes to content and formatting after pushing pages to production, but I'm hopeful it'll be part of the platform too.

It helps us keep a whole library of webpages organized. Getting content from doc to website has been a faster, smoother process, and GraphCMS has helped our marketing team publish pages independently without having to rely on our webdev team to keep things moving.

It's very easy for our client s to manager there content. UI?UX is well layout

Some of the filtering parameters could be improved to allow for more custom filtering

It allows non-technical people to manage content on the App

Great customer service, and it is flexible for Marketing to run the website without to many interactions with the dev-team. It took us some time to get use to the setup, but I guess that is on us rather than on Hygraph.

We are currently migrating to the newest version of Gatsby, and it seems like Hygraph dosent support that with the current packages. This is putting us in a pain, which we actually dont have a solution for at the moment.

It enables the marketing team to run the website and build pages without involving our dev-team. We also increased the page speed dramatically as we are able to have it as a static website.

Its ease of use and the support team. They respond incredibly fast.

As there is always room for improvement, I think the creation of related objects could be improved, making it even more easy.

We were searching for a SaaS CMS because we don't have enough capacity to own it in our infra.

i would like to see more time and love for the development and extension of a WYGIWYS option. This is the feedback from our marketing department.

Hygraph's UI is more intuitive than most of the headless CMS out there. Its early adoption of using components makes it flexible in building web apps. The API playground makes it easy to test queries and queries are super fast.

Their support hours are European hours for the Enterprise model. Sometimes the UI can be slow to update. They don't offer a non-profit discount on the enterprise model.

Hygraph is making it much easier to quickly get a headless CMS connected to your front end. They provide lots of examples for different front-end setups. Their dedicated slack channel for enterprise users is really helpful.

It is very easy to create and modify a schema. You can change and improve your data model easily once you have some content and code.

Currently there is no way to migrate the data when you change your data model.

We built a prototype for an app with a lot of editorial content. With GraphCMS we were able to build the app rather quickly. The Query editor was also a great help.

The way models are built/handled and having the ability to reference other models, making it super easy to interlink content/models together.

I'm a sucker for SEO, so not having the ability to easily add an image ALT tag when uploading a to the assets, is one downside.

having the ability to create complex content for my static/server render projects.

I like its interface, its clean model based on object and its capability to reuse the content across different instances. The API playground is also really useful, especially with pre-filled data

I don't really like the initial project page: I find it quite pointless for experienced user — I mean, it makes totally sense to onboard new users, but as I get more familiar with the platform, I'd like more on point information

GraphCMS is a great headless CMS. It helps me in creating some clean GraphQL query and test them in a zap. Compared to my previous experience with Wordpress headless, this is way ahead

GraphCMS is easy to set up, is really developer-friendly and user-friendly, has great support and is regularly innovating on features.

So far, there isn't anything to dislike.

GraphCMS has helped simplify our architecture, making web development easier and quicker for developers while giving end-users an excellent CMS experience.

I found GraphCMS to be very approachable. I had limited experience with GraphQL and between the tools and docs, I had an app up and running in one day.

Honestly - the web login can be persnickety. That's about it. Sometimes I have to log in more than once.

I am writing an open-source app that provides insight into code quality for a team. It is already up and running and has projects getting on-boarded.

I like the interface, support, docs and features like UI extension

I wish I could have a third environment without the next major cost increase

Data closer to the UI and formed in a way that is best for the UI

The best thing is flexibility. It's easy to add new fields, content types, etc. We've been using it for some time now for several customer sites; all implemented using gatsby. We've been using the free version as all the content is downloaded and processed in the Gatsby build. It would be great if there was a static site version that was something like $10 per month just so we could give something back to GraphCMS for being so useful!

The main thing is you can't easily change one object into another. This means we have ended up creating a generic content block that has different content types. To change how it looks, just change the content type and handle that in the code. Whilst this approach works, it can confuse some people. There are some other tiny annoyances, such as you can't use a dropdown value as a field for the preview page, so having a 'page type' drop down which is used to generate the url means the preview page doesn't always work. It also took a while to get the hang of locales, but we've got that working now. When building a new site, the ability to publish all content would be useful. It would also be great to be able to dump out all the data. You can do all of this using the API, but it would be nice to have it build in.

We use it to build websites for our customers and allow them to manage the content efficiently. The main benefits are the rapid turnaround of beautifully designed sites that makes our customers very happy.

The most essential and most fantastic thing is that now we can quickly create CMS for our data. The development and prototyping are quick and fast. Things get ready speedily and rapidly with good efficiency

No more flexibility and extensibility are available. We can not do much cutomization. Very passive in approach

I am myself, a freelance software developer; I make web apps and solve clients' data and content management requirements. It makes things get ready very fast and rapidly

It's very helpful to use GraphCMS features to ensure SEO in our content. The availability of HTTPS everywhere is a best thing. The structurization of data is also a great help.

There is nothing as such to dislike but sometime google crawling bring some issues. But it can be due to many other reasons

I am GraphCMS to make knowledge graph and to conduct keyword research. It is easy to analyse and arrange data after this.

I like how easy it is to create models and schemas using GraphCMS.

Price gets a little higher when working with large amount of content

We have a hybrid app tech stack and GraphCMS is amazing to integrate with it.

- GraphCMS offers highest flexibility (GraphQL). - No programming is needed to set up the data scheme. - It has a really competitive price even compared to open source. - Highly customizable entry fields – you can write your own fields, e.g. integrate you own editor like a customized TineMCE. - Excellent support via Slack.

There are minor bugs and, in some cases, unpredictable behavior on the API side. Both problems were quickly fixed by the excellent support in the past.

We are running an hybrid app tech stack with GraphCMS, Next.js and Expo.io. GraphCMS is easy to integrate. The graphical user interface of GraphCMS is intuitive, and GraphQL makes changes to the API fast and predictable.

- Strong Model Definition - Strong Relation Definition - Beatiful Out-Of-The-Box graphQL Query and Mutations Schemas - Beatiful UI/UX - PWA - Integration with netlify for JAMstack sites

- Pricing: the 5000 entries limit for the free plan is quite limiting, especially if the next plan is 299$ monthly and it's impossibile to sustain as a freelance.

- Building a solid infrastructure for JAMstack apps.
