We've used Prismic since 2022 on 3 projects that went into production. We've mainly used it for public facing websites because we needed a tool that would allow marketing and copywriting people to edit content easily yet have the flexbility of having fully custom components and look and feel to the websites. Prismic is simple yet very flexible when it comes to content editing. There is a slight learning curve but once you understand it, Prismic brings many benefits to the table! - Automatic Typescript types for each section - Flexibility in defining custom sections the way you want it - Multi language support - Fast & reliable API - Accessible pricing - Real time previews for draft documents - Love the new live preview for slices
Considering all the benefits it brings and the pricing, you cannot complain really about anything. I would suggest more like small improvements other than things to dislike. - Would be really nice to have more text formatting options in the editor. At the moment you can't do strikethrough, change text color or align text like it's possible in other editors. - Would be cool to be able to resize images before uploading - The prismic dashboard sometimes feel a bit slow. The API is super fast, but loading documents sometimes feels a bit slow and clunky.
The main problems it solves for us: Create websites and products with amazing UX and UI yet have the flexibility to edit all the content. We are benefiting from the fact that non technical people can edit content quite easily as well as share draft content internally
- They have put serious time into evolving their product and listening to users, they provide a nice roadmap and are always on the lookout for feedback - Utility functions for frameworks are handy such as the PrismicRichText and Image - Good coverage for different frameworks and clear where to navigate inside the documentation so convenient to integrate. I appreciate the examples provided. - Image processing with Imgix - Slice machine is a massive boon
- They have changed the pricing model quite drastically recently with the locales, unclear how that might impact current users - Cannot bulk delete images (I believe they are working on this)
Providing a CMS that I can use with React or Vue to create static sites for clients. Multi-locale support was an important factor too.
The user-friendly interface and visual builder make content modeling effortless and efficient content management and delivery processes significantly enhance overall productivity.
Limited customization options for certain complex project requirements.
The platform's optimization for developer productivity reduces the time and effort required for managing and updating website or app content, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings.
Prismic Slices are the thing that set it apart from its competitors. These snippets allow you to customise in a quick simple way.
They are putting all their effort into Slice Machine which uses Nuxt/Next, which is an awesome product but they are neglecting other technologies/customers.
Simple to use, has good pricing structures and is easily customizable. We can tailor the headless CMS to how our clients expect/want to use the system
As a non-coder, it makes creating complex pages easy. I appreciate the features that are so intuitive to help you built content and edit smoothly without creating errors. Some actions, such as duplicating existing pages, can be difficult with other tools. With this, it take just a click.
There are some small features that can be hard to use, such as moving a module up and down a page; it can be inefficient to have to click the arrow to move vs. just grabbing and dropping it where you want. But overall it's got great ease of use.
It allows multiple users to edit, plan, and create pages as well as contribute new content seamlessly. It also allows us to efficiently send QA links and gather feedback for quick development and turnaround. As someone in Product Marketing, it makes it very easy to tweak value props and try new things without needing dev time and resources.
Prismic is extremely easy to integrate no matter if it's a completely new project or a large multi-tenant react app. With the addition of the new page builder and the improvements to slicemachine creating content is also extremely easy and even a bit fun.
The `slice-simulator` doesn't yet support react server components so you have to do a few ugly work-arounds to get it to play nicely. Additionally their new pricing model is a bit on the too restrictive side.
We use prismic to handle content across several next.js sites.
Content modelling is very easy, and I love the easy out of the box imgix integration. Prismic comes with it's own SDK which works really well with implementing the stack of your choice (I use Nuxt). I have used it for over 20 websites of all shapes and sizes, including websites with multi languages and it never misses a beat. Clients also frequently comment on how easy it is to use. Customer support from the community is very good for anyone starting out, as they have a vibrant community support forums. The also offer numerous example of integrations on their github.
I think the pricing tiers need to be more flexible in regards to user numbers and CDN traffic.
Allowing rapid and quality development of websites for my client. The end product is fast, functional and beautiful.
Their interface is super easy. Managing content has never been easier! They offer a generous free tier. As a developer I really love their "slice machine". It's very powerful and adds value to my developer workflow.
While you have plenty of field options to choose from when creating content, some more advanced field options like a dropdown with separate display value vs. code value could help create better code.
Providing an easy way to add content or keep content updated is very easy. Because this is a headless CMS you can use it on any channel you like, be it web, mobile or something else...
