Prismic Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Prismic helps me to build my app with the standards of quality of today. Typescript, nextjs last version, testing... The second point which is essential to me is the reactivity of the support team to answer questions and/or fix the tooling. Frequently, new features are announced, and that s makes me confident for the future.

As a team, it is very complicated for us to have a workflow where multiple pages are developed simultaneously. When syncing the slice machine, the only option is to override the work of the other developers.

Prismic helps us to create a website for our company, that will be updated by the marketing department without a developer assisting them. The web site is in different languages and must be really fast.

As a marketeer I'm using prismic.io to make, publish and edit content on our website, and it is easy to learn and great to use. There are so many options and possibilities to adjust content exactly in the way that is best for your website.

Nothing actually, I just would like for there to be a way to size down pictures inside of prismic. Now I have to use other external tools to get images not to load for ages on our site.

With the use of prismic we're able to publish content on our site the way we want and have endless possibilities to add and change whatever we want our users to see. It's easy for me to understand and use the application.

Slices are my favorite feature. Composable web pages is the direction we need to follow. Simple to use, to re use. I've been selling these Modular Page template to clients, making working on a website less time consuming, working on components that the client will use to build any page type they need to tell their stories. The workflow is great also, mainly the releases in order to prevent many deploy. Programming a release is also very cool.

Some features on basic plan are not available, like dataset dump, import or being able to switch between preprod, prod dataset would be great. Batch edit would be cool too. Like changing tags for a set of custom type all at once.

The quality of the ux my clients experience is great, clean, simple. Fast to setup, I have some json for slices that I reuse all the time. So convenient.

- Flexibility (Slices). Works like the front-end code is usually written now (components) - Great way to work with content types - Great community (and staffs answering on GH / prismic community)

- No required fields - Hard to reuse data - No ability to create a table - Hard to query easily without using the client - The search in the admin is hard to work with

- Extracting the content of my application on a third party -> For runtime (articles) -> For build time (fetching the header / footer and built as JSON)

The Experience you get on adding the content in the cloud, Integrating with gatsby or react made very easy, from the content type definition to the development experience.

some projects do not need to be designed and built from scratch, and more demo and pre-built themes will save time. the number of samples of pre-built themes is not enough and if must be more, the work can be easier. The problem with SASS products is you have to depend on them if u want to check how the underlying infrastructure is configured means u cant do that

Managing the entire content for the site in the cloud and making it easy the stakeholders and marketing team to update whenever necessary. Localization support make muti language site contents easy

If implementation time and ease of use is of importance to you, definitely consider Prismic.

Because of its simplicity you may sometimes find it lacking of some more advanced features.

We used prismic for our job postings and our company blog to easily add content without having to redeploy.

It's free to get started, and even when you have more users the plans are pretty cheap. It's always quick in production and provides a really flexible and powerful solution to manage all of our content.

Organisation of documents is a bit tricky, and our repo has turned into a bit of a mess because the lack of file structuring options in the platform. The search feature is not ideal, and finding images and other assets is challenging if they weren't uploaded recently. It would really benefit from structuring documents and files better in the UI.

We have a lot of content in our product, and it's not developers who are writing it. Prismic allows us to host our content separately from our code, giving our content writers the flexibility to edit and write content whenever they want even if developers are busy.

Schema creation, 100x easier than expected, actually enjoyable to use slice machine is a clever way to handle inserting content blocks publishing in named releases looks very useful preview functionality is great pretty good documentation Good editor experience while editing a piece of content excellent free tier limits

No write API No mobile version of CMS (this wouldn’t be a problem if there was a write API) Not enough variation with each content block. If you want a block with say, text on the left and an image on the right. And you want a version with it flipped, that’s a whole other slice. For the fairly minimal content needs of my site I guessed I needed like 15 separate slices to handle what was like 6 unique content blocks with a slight variations. Dashboard experience for managing pages isn’t always great Creating tags and categories is clunky, if you need to insert a new category for products, you have to add the category before you edit the edit product Integration with imgix is largely undocumented, or at least not nearly enough. I was having to dig through old forum posts or imgix documentation to figure out what my query strings needed to be Authentication process does not work on gitpod (not without an annoying amount of manual work every single time)

Allowed me to design custom schemas, have a somewhat visual ACF-style block-based editor in slices, would integrate with my workflow of publishing to netlify, could handle both content pages, products and really anything.

Prismic is easy to use and to pick up from haven't used the platform before. Very hulpeful that is has multiple repositaries so can segment our brands efficiently.

This may be due to the implimentation and set up of our own digital agency but it can sometimes be quite limited to what you can do as you have minimal control over content block details etc

It helps to manage the front end of our websites across our 5 brands.

Its interface is minimalist and simple: it's focused on content management, and users aren't lost with a multitude of options. It's up to the developer whether or not to allow content modification. We are using it a lot. The Prismic team (customer support) is listening to feedback to make future versions even better.

The interface could be improved though, with new features. Implementation / integration not really easy in some particular cases.

Be more flexible than Wordpress, for example

Intuitive interface and easy previewing features

The update has made reviewing history difficult

Prismic.io allows us to quickly and easily update our content. That lets us share changes with our customers whenever we're ready.

UX is pretty solid. I utilize prismic on a daily basis and it is almost always simple to implement what I am trying to do.

I do not have many complaints about prismic. It is a good tool, but is not the best fit for one of our products, which we use wordpress for instead.

Content management for a large scale website.

Easy and intuitive to use slice-machine great idea very well suited for simple websites

Prismic team don 't listen to prismic developer and it's very frustrating. semantic tags support is critical within richtext . adding folder structure within prismic media limitations are very frustrating especially against other headless cms , example strapi, sanity: no role permission, no backup for free plan, no crud,, also I scratch my head about what page builder builder bring to the table..

a centrilized place where i store my data

The functionality that allows business users to reuse components - once build by the engineers, this means we are free to build what we need.

The media library is awful, this would be once reason to change platform because of how bad this is.

Good for building components and features to allow business users to be free of engineering support, however limited ability to scale and a terrible media library

Flexibility - we have a unique ecommerce offering with a complex product > add to cart funnel and have managed to scale a significant number of unique journeys through content management.

Asset search capability could be better. It's hard to find and reuse assets through the search feature.

We have a unique ecommerce 'middle' funnel, where products can be highly personalised. Most of our products have different types of personalisation. In order to scale more journeys across the site, prismic has afforded some flexibility.

The integration was quick and low in effort. The drag and drop functionality is very easy to use and understand.

The image library and lacking ability to split projects into separate groups

We were looking for a low cost low maintenance CMS that enabled us to quickly launch content for our webshop and other Marketing related content pages, Prismic was the right tool for it.

L'interfaccia utente del dashboard è buona. La creazione di tipi è molto semplice.

L'API non è ben documentata e all'inizio è difficile capire alcune cose e può facilmente portare nella direzione sbagliata su come generare html dall'API.

.

I use Prismic on a daily basis, it's pretty straightforward, easy to use, has enough features to post content (pictures, videos, cta buttons, etc).

The newer version is less comfortable to use (hard to add content). There should be more variations of tables

easy content uploading

I found it to have a super simple interface that made it simple to navigate content, publish and edit with ease.

It's inability to host multiple regions under one CMS.

It allows me to find assets with ease within it and publish our content in a simple and quick manner.

Cloud service of managing the content and users management. No need to worry about the storage cost of the assets. Deployment slots kind of environments and easy for swapping

It is a bit costly when compared to the other CMS providers. Lack of study material and best practices for beginners to dive in. Merging the environments needs to be simplified

Like the service they are offering, of course managing all the assets, contents, releases, feature flags, users management everything in the cloud. Benefits we are getting is the site build time is drastically reduced after we migrated to Prismic with gatsby.

Prismic has helped us craft unique content sitewide, powered by our content team and not developers. Being able to use prismic for wiki data, blog posts, FAQs, terms/privacy policies, marketing pages, etc has been a huge benefit to our team. Being able to create content types, with custom fields organized how I need them, has been a huge reason I've stuck with Prismic.

The strong nature of resistance I've received from support when discussing issues with them. Seem often to brush us off, instead of work with us to solve problems. The entire way media is handled is frustrating. Being able to upload, browse media, and assign meta details to each item... and then using it in a post is fantastic. But if you make changes to the item after using it, it doesn't propagate. Same with thumbnails, if you add a new page/style/design to your site, you need to manually go to each and every post and reapply the image, to generate a new round of thumbnails. It's incredibly tedious, and support has offered no better way insisting that is the option.

Giving our marketing/content full controller of what they're creating, and when they're creating it has been vital. We've created custom inserts in Prismic Slices, that build as our own vue components in the blog post. They have a ton of control on how they build their posts.

Prismic allows for a customizable website that looks great on the front end.

Since a company helped us design the website, only they have access to certain aspects of the backend.

Prismic allows us to have a cleaner and more visually beautiful and unique site than competitors.

The original product design was fantastic - a headless CMS that is platform agnostic and importantly does not serialise content as HTML but structured JSON objects. The API is performant and the writing room is a pleasant experience for content writers. Integration is pretty painless and it is still my go-to CMS. Media assets served from a CDN is great feature, and generally, customer support is reasonably responsive via in-app chat.

Prismic have effectively abanonded users that don't write everything in Javascript. All of the new and interesting features are effectively not available without using specific JS based frontend/backend technologies and the focus on JS increases to the point where other technologies are no longer even mentioned in documentation. Simple features such as a feasible way of representing tabular content, or linking to in-page anchors have gone ignored for years in the quest for ever more javascript bells and whistles and integration with the latest hot framework.

- Robust, reliable and performant headless CMS - Global CDN for assets - Single content source, multiple clients - Re-purposing content for multiple outputs - Releases for batch updates - Scheduling content releases

Prismic is a good CMS for editors as it very much acts like a drag and drop style. Once components are built by the dev team, it's very easy to know how to input content and images and it's easy to rearrange and add new slices to the page. The staging envrionment is a good feature we use daily.

Prismic's support can take a bit of a long while to respond, which means problems aren't resolved too quickly. Prismic's slice machine is not that great for supporting complex websites with a lot of new complex components.

Prismic helps with quick website page builds and edits, and being able to review changes on the staging evironment before pushing live.

The headless CMS is great, I'm a Web Content Admin and having the ability to build out pages and documents in any way possible is super helpful. I work closely with our Web Development Team and Prismic also seems to conect to other platforms easily. I have experience with other content management systems and Prismic is my favorite because of how customizable it is.

Because Prismic is smaller that some of it's competition it sometimes seems like features and fixes are sometimes released more slowly than other platforms. Fortunately we haven't really ran into major issues.

For me personally, the ability to use almost any slice on any page is amazing compared to other platforms. I'm able to customize each document as needed and it does help with the goal of engaging users. The modularity of Prismic is not something I've been able to experience with other platforms.

The user interface on their dashboard is good. Support is prompt in responding to tickets with good information. Creating types is very simple.

The API is not well documented and it is hard to understand a few things at the beginning and can easily lead you in the wrong direction as to how to generate html from the api.

Auto generating documentation. It is easy for non-technical users to write content.

Slices from the perspective of an content creator and from an developer the integration with nextjs

The editor is out dated and easy to use. The philosophy to not have required fields is an issue for our content creators Especially with optinal settings - not knowing if they have to be set or not

Its an easy to setup headless cms with having slices makes it wasy to create great websites

The ease of use, don't need to be a developer to use the CMS

They recently did updates to make it more drag-and-drop focused. But it makes it very hard to restructure pages with many elements or to move them between sections. Also, with this update to the editor when you add images there is no search feature, which means if I need an older image it's near impossible to find and I would need to upload it again causing a duplicate in the system which is bad for SEO. I figured out how to revert back to the old editor, but it's not because I prefer what I know but instead because the new update has terrible UX for my specific needs.

It created our website and houses our images and website code

platform looks nice and there are a lot of available components and duplication is useful

search function is terrible and blog posts take 2 days to publish

allows us to have multiple landing pages etc for different purposes

Being able to standardise components across the business

Not being able to search properly for a landing page - e.g. if you search 'Christmas' it seems to show a random selection (I'm assuming just every landing page that has that word on comes up) rather than landing pages titled 'Christmas catering' etc.

Enables us to create lots of landing pages
