Kontent.ai Reviews & Product Details

Easy to use interface, Preview Option is fantastic

Lots of options should be grouped in categories

We have used for our ecommerce portal, it is very easy to manage static pages and static content inside the application

Having worked on various CMS over the past 20 years, Kentico's flexibility and modularity really stands out for me. It allows us to create a wide variety of pages for different content. The workflow steps are a great feature and allow us to allocate tasks to different members of the team as is the Project Overview function, allowing us to manage workflow.

Searching for asset folders as oppose to the files themselves would be a useful function. Similar an undo function for when you accidentally delete content or similar.

Building organic traffic is the number one target for us and Kentico has allowed us to do this quicker than many other CMS thanks to its flexibility. We are creating various types of content, from reviews and guides to news and top 10 lists. Having a large team working on different types of content brings its own challenges but the workflow steps and project overview helps with managing content and deadlines.

the UX of the product is very easy to use. Also, the pricing of the product scales as you use (API first) and provides you with a good headstart at a low budget. Features like user management, content management, digital asset management, and others are pretty useful and help get the job done. the integration ecosystem is quite solid and reduce your effort, cost & time to market.

we can't create separate groups as part of a single project with roles and responsibilities at a content item level. this limits global organizations with multiple roles in a multi-brand setting. please be vary of these things as this might impact your implementation and vision in the longer run.

My client had an old knowledge management system with no content management capabilities and a new experience layer. they were looking for a headless CMS which could manage a multi-brand ecosystem. Kentico Kontent matched their requirement with great features and functionalities at the right price point. I would highly recommend everyone to check out the product.

All sections are accessible in logical sequence & easy to navigate. Errors are usually advised before you can even preview your changes, this saves time. Even a team member with no previous experience could be easily onboarded to help with content, etc. for website - This was beneficial as working product was produced during limited timeframe. Format allows for visually impactful working website + easy to update as needed in future.

In some sections, it was 4-clicks to edit or same to publish. Understanding this is due to being down a few layers on the page, might be helpful to have a short cut?

Updating and maintaining our website, collaboratively between Corporate and Opco levels. Having a shared, easy to use platform that reduces onboarding time for team members to contribute while working under tight deadlines.

Kentico Kontent is a straightforward platform that makes it easy for content editors to create, edit and collaborate on different types of content. At the same time, the platform is easy to set-up from a technical standpoint, with easy to configure content models and a wide-array of of SDKs to help you handle data fetching, data migration, backups, ect... This is on top of the amazing Kentico support team, who are always available to answer any questions you might have.

Some of the initial hurdles we struggled with when implementing our new website Kentico Kontent had to do with migrating sections of the old site that were very dependant on the tree-hierarchy model we were used to seeing in more traditional CMS. At the time, the platform wasn't well set-up to accomodate this requirement given that it fully embraced the Headless flat-hierarchy approach to content structure ( i.e it was hard for content editors to visualise the whole sitemap and see how pages could be nested below one another). Since then, the platform has made significant improvements in terms of bridging the gap between the Headless CMS and more traditional CMS with features like WebSpotlight.

After having had the experience of being hamstrung by a custom platform with limited support, we wanted the flexibility to choose best-of-breed micro-services and not be locked into an all-in-one CMS. Kentico Kontent gives us the scope to expand content beyond the web and leverage new technology as it emerges. It also provides us with an ideal platform to manage a wide range of content meant for different channels, with great editing and collaboration features.

The ability to simply reuse or duplicate and then amend already created content is hugely beneficial. This saves a lot of time when it comes to the creation of new pages or components and makes it much easier to rollout website update consistently across the website where a component is shared. Kontent also includes a number of collaboration tools which support working with my colleagues as well as my own task management. Being about to come back to a task, add notes and allocate it to team members makes website maintenance more manageable alongside other marketing activities as you're able to pick up where you left off much more easily. The filtering and navigation of our components is also very useful, searching by keyword, narrowing down my selection by the type of component makes it quick to find when I'm looking for.

Within our deployment of Kontent it is not currently possible to preview changes as they are made and publishing the page or component is required - as a result, there have been occasions where further amends have had to be made.

Flexibility and the ability to react to the business demands is the greatest benefit, I am no longer dependent on development time to make a number of changes and it allows me to react faster.

Kontent has a very easy to use interface for building complex data structures. It's easy to use for developers; it's easy to use for business users. I like the fact that there are a pre-defined datatypes available to use, while still having the ability to create custom data elements. The delivery API is very fast and is easy to implement.

I don't like the fact that for rich text content, the only format available is HTML. I would prefer if there was a flag that would allow me to request that content as Markdown (or something like that). It also feels like the JSON response from the delivery endpoint is also larger than needed.

We were trying to decouple the content that was being created from the display of this content. Kentico Kontent allows us to define all of our data / pages in one location and then allow the web developer to display this as desired on-screen. Content editors can change the content at any point without worrying about code; developers can write web applications against a well defined API and not worry about the content.

Its formidable administration tool is cooperative and easy to use, highlighting some of its multilingual functions, which is what I like the most, since it promotes development in economic operations in different languages, contributes to the complete life cycle of some content particularly from my company, intuitively includes a well-documented delivery API and an integration of any stack system from any digital experience with it.

It offers an unprofitable subscription package for small projects, analyzing that it is not suitable for organizations with low labor performance, considering its high cost of starting the software functionality that even medium-sized companies cannot pay the necessary requirements for the process of operation, and finally we can highlight that kentico kontent does not have electronic data forms, which makes its management of notification information somewhat vulnerable.

it is effective for our company, since it offers a content solution that provides all organizations with a life cycle, it has a highly complex system, which performs the necessary services, since it allows the marketing experts of our company to focus more in its creation of experiences in attractive lines due to its forceful or rather easy administration tools, certifying a good result in a general sense, we can mention that we also use it to index documents and customizable models.

Love how flexible it is to use the product. Right now we are using it only as a headless CMS but will soon be expanding into the other integrations. The pricing is straight forward. One thing the team liked is how the content is organized into one giant pool. The SDK was easy to work with and provided us flexiblity to cache results in our own CDN to reduce billing on there platform

There is not much I can think of off the top of my head. Overall after pre-sales we did feel a little rough hand off between our account manager and sales staff.

We were looking to get on a stable hosted SaaS headless CMS platform. Our old headless CMS was a self hosted open source project which was unable to keep up with bug fixes and cost us a lot of labor during upgrades to there product. The old product had quite a few bugs which did not allow the business to manage content on there own. There was also not a defined workflow or approval process

The speed and ease of development, coupled with the ongoing features being added make Kontent stand out. The development team leading in areas such as SSG's is also impressive. Scaffolding projects for smaller clients is absolutely rapid, and there are now features that allow you to scale out these projects more rapidly. The roadmap has also helped me plan for what is coming and allow me to better compare it to other competitors. The API has also been easy to use, both when developing new tools, or using it directly. We have used it both in JS and .NET and both experiences have been top class in comparison to others.

It feels like a walled garden for the best features. The enterprise level of $999 is understandable, but extremely expensive in comparison to other competitors. To be able to unlock enterprise level features by only contributing at least $12,000 a year is just out of reach for many, many businesses. What's more as an early adopter developer, it feels like a slap in the face, as we cannot develop enterprise level features which prevents us from accurately budgeting out client projects without taking out an enterprise plan. Also the number of times I say 'updating content in kontent' is ridiculous and does end up causing confusion with clients.

Quickly scaffolding out sites to allow us to deliver MVPs quicker, whilst also freeing up our text stack to make sure our developers are using the most relevant and productive tools they can. It is also allowing us to approach projects in different ways. For example, we can now look at planning out the future of products at a wider level than just a website, and instead start planning content for multiple platforms in 2-5 years time, not just for the initial delivery.
