It requires minimal coding knowledge at least
Difficult to locate the page I want to update Difficult to update tags/categories Too many steps to update imagery Confusing to find previews of a single page - I have to relocate to the section of the website where the page is instead of just auto previewing the page I was already working on Not intuitive to format text as H1/H2, etc
I update my company's website with new copy, new blog posts, new images and updated links
For the longest period, Prismic was a really affordable CMS solution, especially for products that require support for a lot of different languages. Their approach to flexible page building via "slices" was brilliant and for a very long period a key differentiator. Less so now that a lot of other CMS offer similar flexibility.
We have a complex websitewith advanced needs. The limitations of Prismic API made the job of our engineers complicated and forced us to do a lot of workarounds. Some basic elements such as field validation, the ability to add inline instructions for content-writers, or the ability to search for an article by its title (the search function is completely broken since years). The last straw was how Prismic manage their loyal customers, announcing a 20x increase in traffic with a very short notice (less than a month at first, extended to 2.5 month after some negotiation).
Prismic is powering our content website, with tens of thousands of different pages across 10 languages.
Seemed like a simple straight forward CMS at first with decent documentation for implementing with Gatsby.
This is not a hands off CMS. If you use this CMS platform you can pretty much guarantee that your client will be emailing you between every 3 and 6 months because the Gatsby install has stopped publishing. The even better part is that the changes required to "adapt to their new source plugin" or whatever usually requires COUNTLESS hours of debugging, googling, commenting our queries and then re-writing. I wish we could migrate our clients off this platform. :(
Integration is spotty at best. Frequent changes to their graphQL API. Tons of errors and bugs when publishing.
