Kontent.ai Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

The userface is so simple and intuitive. Changes are automatically saved and multiple people can work on the platform at once. It's a collaboration wonder!

Nothing, but I would love to see more updates!

it allows us non-web development team folks to put content on our website and stay efficient.

For marketers, the user interface is easy to setup content models, create and schedule published content, add and manage user workflows and rules. For developers, the platform uses modern technology to give teams the ability to deploy fast websites and user experiences to consume content on any channel.

So far I have no complaints using the Kontent.ai platform. It will be interesting to see what future developments will look like as the platform continues to grow.

Konent.ai is making modern content management flexible for both marketing teams and development teams. The platform also allows the abilitiy to integrate with other headless commerce solutions providing a best in breed approach to headless content + commerce.

Ease of use, highly intuitive and straightforward to use.

Some clients might find it expensive to use

Decouples the content from the rest of our digital landscape allowing us to re-use it in various platforms.

A technically advance product delivered easily into the business and its users. It just works!

Suggestion - a 'recommendation' feature that crawls clients' sites and recommends specific partner apps that may be helpful, eg. Your site looks like it could use some help <insert app>.

We are moving faster, driving greater collaboration between marketing and tech teams, maturing in our digital journey and delivering better customer-experiences!

Having used a wide range of CMS over the past 10+ years, Kontent by Kentico is the easiest, simplest and best CMS I have used. The speed of adding and formatting content, image and other elements is great - makes the process of creating content that is engaging visually and for SEO straightforward and easy.

No dislikes. The Kentico team has always been fast and responsive to feedback, and they often roll-out practical improvements and updates. Compared to other CMS on the market Kontent by Kentico is superior.

We publish original content on a daily basis, and the speed of using Kontent by Kentico and populating content in the system means we can spend more time on creating great content and the SEO process.

Great Design, well-thought-through content types elements. web spotlight is great. SDK support is good enough, type support for typescript is helpfull.

No of operations to do a simple create is bit too many. create an item, lang variant, upsert,etc. why not just one call , that does everything behind the scenes, because most cases, all users want is upsert a record. I felt like the management sdk can be improved. Kentico main content and assets page search functionality can be improved, it takes a while when there are too many content items.

we don't have to think about building a backend API layer and admin screens to maintain them anymore. That's one less thing to worry about when building web apps.

Kontent.ai e-learning stands out. The authoring app is pretty clean and straightforward for a rookie, and I've had a fair share of content management solutions over the last two decades. What I was desperately in need of was understanding what headless content infrastructure is all about, how to model content, how to build a single source of truth for all the company's content, and — more importantly — why!

I didn't find anything to dislike — I was ready to start thinking differently about content and content management, and learning the new, more semantic approach. Although I acknowledge that the prospect of beginning with a "blank canvas" might be daunting for many people out there looking for a modern, future-proof solution.

We have had countless sources of disconnected content scattered over the company. It wasn't just the user-facing content on our webpage which was unhappily married to its form of presentation, but all the underlying content that is telling the story of our products and services which lived in domain silos, disconnected channels and forms unsuited for reuse. Not infrequently duplicated and deprecated. Kontent.ai gave us a venue to reimagine our content as a whole, and as individual, meaningfully related parts, that could be reused for current and future purposes.

The simple interface is intuitive and easy to use, and our full content library is right at my fingertips whenever I need to access it.

Working with multiple brands, it's easy to upload content to the wrong project folder - being able to colour-code different projects would be great!

They've been very accommodating when it comes to making modifications that suit our particular way of working, which is great!

It's super simple to model content as a semi technical business user. I love that I can get things started by building new models based on the marketing or business goals but also have my hands on how it works to ensure it will be easy to maintain. Having a tool likes this helps bridge gaps beetween business and IT.

It can be kind of expensive, sometimes user roles have been less flexible than I would like, controlling who can edit what can be a little tricky if you don't plan far enough ahead.

Combining configuration controls with content management. Allows us to create rule driven experiences that are easy to manage at a micro or macro level with shared components.

It is easy to use the tools in Kontent, the changes are showing up even faster, and is easy to explain to other people about how to use it since it is usable and user friendly

I honestly think it needs to be smarter when recognizing a pasted text since sometimes it has bullets but kontent recognizes them as squares and has to do it manually which takes longer.

I could see how the changes were appearing after in the app and in the website, it was amazing because before it could be time consuming and a little stressing.

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.

cross-platform data sharing, modeling data, references on other models, webhook push notifications on data change, email notification if webhook is not working.

there are missing some primitive values like boolean, UI was little confusing when I started using it. Didn't find how to disable some data fields (some of our data is coming outside and content users can't edit them)

collecting data from api (from another CMS) and enriching them with user-edited data. Benefit: multilevel of data update => editing Kentico when you want fast change, not depending on outside data

The program is very 'to the point' and no time is used inefficiently. I appreciate that this event is done live, and the company is so good at what they do that it is seamless and appears it could have even been recorded. Every year I come back because I find it interesting and intriguing to learn more about the available features. I also the variety of topics covered.

Unfortunately, there is not much downtime during their event. This causes the inability to truly have a lunch break if you need one. If you take one, odds are you likely will miss something that could be interesting, important, or intriguing.

With the event, I am solving problems related to efficiency in our workplace. I have realized there are always more features I wasn't aware of until I attended this event.

Kentico enabled us to create website content quickly, with the minimum of fuss and without having to bring in IT support. It also gave a preview of the new content in context so we could proceed confidently with a clear picture of how the finished work would look. Because we had a team that worked on content together, it was helpful to have a simultaneous editing option that enabled them to edit the same piece but not delete the work of their colleagues. It was user-friendly and focused on the things we needed and I appreciated that.

Nothing. It's a good CMS from a good, supportive company.

The problem Kentico solved was that our content creators were able to put together high-quality website content without having to involve our IT people.

Flawless content modelling and content creation process.

Asset management as such is not a strong part of Kentico Kontent, but this won´t last for long.

The whole content creation process in one place. From brief to publication including planning, scheduling and extensive collaboration.

ease of use and inputing content. User can create complex content (with inline content of different type) ractically wihtout treining. Very intuitive.

Nothing, really. It can be slow at times?

Content and multimedia data storage for tens of websites. Centralization and ease of control of content

Structure of platform, easy and quick translations

I think there is nothing that i disllike, all is good and logically structured

For forst time i have some problems with log-on credentials, but operator from platform help me

Kentico Cloud is a rapidly evolving product that is consistently adding new features. But the part I like the most about the platform is the absolute speed at which the Kentico Cloud API delivers content to our applications. It is faster than I thought possible.

Sometimes the user interface is less than stellar when it comes to large implementations with many content items. It is totally workable don't get me wrong, with with hundreds or thousands of items it feels a bit clunky at times. But this is minor in the overall user experience, and honestly all other headless cms interfaces have this issue at times.

At my company we needed to launch a new website fast. Using Kentico Cloud allowed us to deliver the project in under two weeks from start to finish because our marketing team was able to concentrate on the full content model and content curation process without having to wait for development. In fact the development process started after all of the content was complete. That never happens!

The .NET API is great. The magic of DisplayFor in your model where it auto renders all the nested content models is a huge time saver.

No integrated search in the platform that can be used by consumers of the content. Third Party workarounds are required.

Management all website content.

The fact this product is headless reduces the technical overhead, on both initial build and on-going maintenance.

I can't think of anything I do not like about this product.

One of the big benefits to Kentico Kontent is to remove the security risk that comes with Content Management Systems. There's no need to expensive maintenance contracts to ensure we're up to date with patches. Another benefit is when it comes to redesign the website int he future we do not need to pick an agency that supports a particular technology stack.

I like that the content management app is really nicely done. There is the flexibility of creating your won blocks, there is i18n, templates, and great tutorials. SEO covered too. Kentico Kontent is so robust that I don't see that anybody can compete with it.

There is some work needs to be done in order to lunch your website. But much less than in other cases.

Content versioning, verification and releasing. Getting content from the single place into any other platforms
