Kontent.ai Reviews & Product Details

It is easy to set up and integrate into our projects.

There is a problem with taxonomy translations or installing plugins (you need an external environment). But nothing too difficult to manage to our client's satisfaction.

Enterprise-level CMS for our clients.

The speed at which you can input content, build sites, and upload or change images is incredibly fast. Compared to Sitecore, using Kontent is a dream. Being able to migrate a webpage in under 10 minutes has been an incredible win.

There are minor teething issues - like hyperlinking to a content item opens all your content collections rather than the one you're currently working in - but they are easy to work around, and the benefits outweigh any minor cons.

Webpage load speed and staff satisfaction have both improved with Kontent. Both our customers and staff have seen benefits. Being able to upload images more intuitively than our previous CMS reduces wasted time and increases efficiency. It also allows staff with increased expertise to focus on projects that utilise their skills better, while lower level staff can solve issues on their own (as Kontent is more intuitive)

LOVE that it's easy to duplicate pages so translation and setting up similar pages with similar content becomes a breeze!

The search functionality seems a little clunky. There are times when I am searching for a specific content piece I need to edit and it just doesn't come up in the search results, even though I'm almost certain it's still a page we are using.

I think it's much easier to set up and publish translated content, not to mention just normal blog and product pages. You don't have to be an HTML expert to make the content look beautiful!

Everything, from how customisable it is, to the ease of consuming the CMS. The team are very helpful and have great written docs. If there's anything I'm confused about, you can have a quick chat with the devs directly on their website.

Not entirely Kentico's fault but if having access to more than one production environment per project.

CMS problems, delivering and consuming content for my application.

Custom elements. Being able to iframe in custom components unlocked the ability for us to use adobe's digital asset manager inside of Kontent by developing a custom asset selector that lets customers use the DAM and not duplicate assets into Kontent.

I think the management API for JS is a little complicated for being able to write custom scripts to accomplish things like importing slugs into content models via webhooks

Speeding up development time by being able to have a consistent method for including content even though the models might change the api is consistent and predictable. By having a flexible platform we can house all our projects under one roof and model each project uniquely with the flexibility to be able to solve specific client needs.

Is an excellent way to have dynamic pages giving the user the power to change information, with no need to make a new release

Sometimes some functionality is not available in .NET framework, but is available in javascript

Dynamic pages to display promotions, banners, etc

Kentico Kontent allows for quick collaboration across most devices.

I am unsure if the features will support image editing and video editing.

The benefit is that as a SaaS platform, there is no hosting, maintenance, upgrading, patching, etc required, and no "build and deploy" is required for the CMS itself.

It's very easy to navigate and also very helpful to upload content

I dislike how sometimes the content I upload gets mixed with colleagues

Solving a lot of content entry issues

Simple to use and the search function is top notch. Workflow also very good for larger content teams.

We havent yet found a good way to preview updates. This is key really for content owners as they need to preview work before final publishing.

Great content management. Easy for content owners to manage the site right down to resource strings!

Kontent by Kentico allows you to manage content from a single location and distribute it to a large scale of applications in the designated form (omnichannel). Kontent by Kentico helps you understand the headless concept and ensures that you correctly apply headless best practices while producing content.

It is (currently) not possible to extend the platform with custom functionality like our own set of editing controls. I believe that this functionality would help us as an agency to optimize the author experience for our clients. It will also help us to get more business as a technical company.

We don't have to invent the wheel. Kontent by Kentico offers several project boilerplates to get you started with any type of project. For example we could get a campaign website project up and running within a couple of weeks without having taking care of hosting and installation. Also the CMS has a minimal learning curve.
