Prismic Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Slices, I think this feature of slices is very adaptable and customisable. Boost the editorial as well as developers' experience

Few points: 1. Validations are not present within CMS, so developers need to have lots of additional checks while building websites or apps. 2. Custom plugins, I would love Prismic more, if they allow me to build custom plugins which can be used within CMS

We wanted to have a quick to build and manage CMS for our newsletters and Prismic meets all our requirements

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...

Prismic has very well written documentation that covers the most popular JS frameworks. Their community forum is also a great place to go for help if you get stuck. I also really like the well thought out approach to multilingual support and the way documents are handled when switching language. Slice machine is also a brilliant tool.

Slight delay in some tools being updated to work with the latest version of some frameworks. The documentation could do with more examples.

Prismic helps me offer clients an elegant solution to website/page building. It is without the best solution I've seen that clients pickup very quickly with minimal assistance.

Managing the content structure and receiving it from the cloud, good UI to view the contents and structures

Not as good editor experience as in contentful. Improper asset management and filtering of the contents

Managing the content on the cloud provides marketing team the required flexibility to work on

Fast learning curve for Content managers as well as developers. Very easy to integrate into various tech stacks. Most affordable Headless CMS out there.

It should be easier to contact customer support. More integrations of third-party providers and faster bug fixes.

Content managment

The flexibility of distributing multiple types of content across our website stack, we have many dynamic areas of our website powered by logic through Prismic. We couldn't of done what we needed to do without Prismic's feature set.

I think the documents editor could be easier to use and pickup by non-technical people.

The CMS was easy to integrate and manage ongoing, we wanted to offload the reliance of supporting a CMS and Prismic fit the job wonderfully. We needed to scale the number of pages we had quickly across multiple languages, being able to import and export documents so that we could automate the process saved many many hours.

The way you can organize and create pages of content.

Sometimes it takes to long to update and appear on the website.

Content organization and page creation. Also website management.

I recently built my first prismic.io project for a client - it was easy to learn and set up. My client felt that it was easy to use Prismic's interface. I compared Prismic to a few other competitors and it seemed to have the best combination of features.

Unfortunately, I am getting billed for multiple locales, but I only have one locale. I've reached out to Prismic support but have yet to hear back.

My client's project is best suited for a headless application, but we needed a CMS.

I've been a near-daily user of Prismic since ~2016 for content management on client and internal websites. The ability to build pages from "slices" is a great way of being able to provide a page-builder experience for fully custom components. The flexibility is matched by the speed and ease of implementation through the Slice Machine tool, which integrates into modern development workflows easily. Recently the team has begun to release improvements to the writer experience that look likely to bring that editor experience up to the same level of excellence as the developer experience. All in all a solid option for managing content on static sites.

Content organisation and findability can be a challenge as all entries appear in a single list, there are options for filtering which are helpful but it still presents a challenge for contributors. Updates to the writer/contributor experience have felt slow while the company has been focussed on their (excellent) developer experience, this can make internal advocacy and support for the platform a challenge. There is also no native option for adding validation to fields, while I understand the team's rationale I think the lack of those guard rails is a barrier to adoption by content teams.

Prismic enables us to open up content management to the wider team of writers and editors, with an intuitive page-builder-like experience, on our static sites.

We use Prismic as a headless CMS, connecting to a Java-based application. The API supports all our use cases, and works pretty well. The user interface serves our needs to create content.

The Java SDK hasn't seen an update in quite a while. Bulk editing would be a nice feature to have.

We use Prismic to create and maintain content about our training compendium.

Prismic is easy to use and easy to integrate.

There's nothing I dislike about prismic.

It's used for our website creation and hosting.

Prismic is great for creating an online learning environment becuase of the various opportunities to create unique, easy to use, relvant resources available to our online learning team.

Prismic tends to be more appropriate for tech-savvy users, as some of our desginers have trouble navigating the tools that the platform offers.

Our business exists to help classroom teachers educate their students, but the tools that we offer have to be fully understood in order to be successful. Prismic provides a place for us to create a headless CMS that is used in training teachers and educating users.

I appreciate how easy the site is to use. Intuitive UI.

Would be nice to have some type of filtering for the media library.

We can easily schedule events in our mobile app.

Anyone on the team can use prismic to help with content creation for our website without having any background knowledge or training on html or web development.

I'd love even more features that we could use to help drive sales like scrolling galleries with product placement.

Moving off of shopify themes to a headless front end, we needed a solution to add content to our blog pages that our content team could easily get to. It was a smooth transition between the two platforms.

I like that Prismic is overall pretty intuitive and easy to learn.

There are some limitations in features, but ways to work around that.

Prismic helps to standardize our page layouts across many sites that we own, while still allowing for customizations.

It's extremely customizable. We were able to build the CMS to fit our exact needs. It also doesn't use third-party plug-ins so our website speed has improved considerably.

The search function within the CMS itself is very poor. I have to command + F search to find anything and even then it still gives me trouble. This is a small thing, but it is a huge source of inefficiency. I believe improving this is on their product roadmap.

We use Primisic to host our website content. It allows us to edit all aspects of our site without much dev support.

Prismic is a perfect tool as a background for your webshop. With possibilities to add new options.

Unfortunately, the preview function is not working properly and there are ways to make scheduling even faster.

Back of the webshop, for scheduling the information the customer sees.

The platform is easy to use and build upon. It functions as a robust platform for all things content and editorial.

There is a bit of dev work needed to make front-end changes, which can be limiting for small teams balancing other priorities.

It has been an easily implemented product that helps us to tell our brand's story better. It has been a great solution for our content and organic media teams.

Makes it easy to update content without developers

Not always easy to tell when there are errors

Ability to make constant updates without dev suport

The legacy editor is great, love the interface and rarely experience techical bugs.

Really disliked the updated carosel editor that was rolled out a month or so ago. Scheduling tiles took a signigicant amount of extra time to complete. I'd reccomend sticking with the legacy editior going forward

Prismic works great for us (Penn Interactive) for scheduling casino promo tiles for Penn Play Casino. Having a reliable content management system that is easy to use and free of techical bugs is huge. As the primary admin for Penn Play Casino, for the last year I can honestly say I've never experienced a significant techical issue or had to contact support, for me that's what we're looking for for a CMS provider.

Slices! Having the ability to create components/pages = slices for our editors and MKT team is great! And now with the page builder that's even better.

they took a long time to rollback a so called "feature" and in between we needed a workaround.

We can depend on a CMS platform that has pretty much what we need. That's why we moved from Contentful to Prismic

Flexibility seems like the biggest thing, very customizeable (although dependent on developers for these types of changes). Once you've learned how to use it, it's fast to work with.

If you've worked with Wordpress or other similar products, Prismic is a bit different. Not very visual, but it seems like this is about to change though with the latest updates.

Publishing content, scaling our website.

Prismic has proven to be a user-friendly solution, making it a breeze to navigate and teach to colleagues. The array of features, such as release scheduling, adds significant value. I am also satisfied with their customer support.

The absence of a copy/paste slices option and a somewhat disorganized media library are areas that could use attention.

Prismic.io's ability to schedule and release multiple landing pages simultaneously is really useful and enables us to plan and execute marketing campaigns more efficiently, ensuring a coordinated and timely release of content. Managing content for different regions or languages is also pretty simple, we are able to tailor our messaging to specific audiences without unnecessary complexities. The user-friendly design of Prismic.io makes it easy for both experienced users and those new to the platform.

Great interface for writing content and editing pages. Going headless has aso really sped up the overall site speed. There is also plenty of resources available for training.

Can be hard working witho no sitemap although this is mainly down to the structure of our website.

As a fairly large site on our old platform we were struggling to keep it running at an acceptable speed. This is no longer an issue and we are reaping the rewards.

As I am only an executive, I wasn't involved into the desicion phase. However, I can say this tool's handling is good as you can for example imeplent it into exsiting systems and has a lot of features. Whenever we find hickups, the customer support is there to help.

It takes a minute to get into the tool. Once you got where everything is, it's a great content management tool.

we manage our website on prismic.

Prismic is extremely easy and fast to get up and running – also the time it takes to get an entire content model set up for a website and start integrating compared to some other headless CMSs is a massive upside

Once you get into the nitty gritty details it would be nice to see more customisation in Prismic to make a content editor’s life easier e.g. collapsible field groups and (also related to development) repeatable fields inside of repeatable fields

Prismic makes it easy to get a modern website up and running whilst offering most of the features you and a client expect to have in a CMS (although headless CMS’ generally require the one setting up the content model to do so correctly). Prismic also has a pricing model that doesn’t scare clients away where they can start on a free plan and then immediately be thrown into $100’s a month once they use up their media library usage etc.

Prismic is an easy to use CMS tool to maintain a multi locale set-up. The option to duplicate elements in different locales saves us time reflecting in to be more efficient time-wise.

Currently there is no option to create multiple workspaces for different projects within an repository. This would be helpful to streamline processes and give acces rights to specific users to reduce confusion.

Prismic is busy with a solution to create multiple workspaces. Creating multiple workspaces would make the onboarding easier, as it will allow us to focus on relevant types and streamline the process, reducing confusion and questions.

It is easy to learn and you can find good documentation for any popular framework.

SDK is not customizable enough and no granular permissions

Structure content, hosted CMS, internationalization, publication system, API

Everything just works out of the box with the latest SDK updates and clients find it very easy to use. I particularly love the dynamic slices and their invention that is called 'slice zone'. You put a single component inside your file, pass it data coming from Prismic and it take care of rendering each single component you've built and hooked to Prismic data. The slice machine also comes with a whole developer app that lets you do content modelling and mocking all in one place. Pretty much everything you need in one CMS.

Their client facing UI could definitely do with some overhaul. As much as it is simple (just table documents), as soon as the data complexity grows (think nested documents or related documents) it's very hard for non technical users to figure out how to add content to the cms. If there was a new view in the UI that let's you edit nested or related documents from a single parent that would be perfect.

It solves the problem content versioning and hosting. Once I develop a content model for a project or website, Prismic takes care of serving me the data all from one place. I even used it as a mini database for a learning management system to host my course and programme content then used document relationships to build internal links within the app.

Prismic gives you the tools to compose your content seamlessly. It's one of the best headless CMS experiences you can have; if you love developing outside the monolith, using tools like Next, or Nuxt, you'll even have workflows that will allow you to build your Website with a component-in-mind paradigm.

I think there's still missing a feature for clients to make their own components or page editions; and for some clients and editors, this is a must. In WordPress, we could say that this is existing by default, but, as Prismic is a headless CMS, it seems that the editors will always have to ask the developers to make even the minimal changes to customize the presentation features.

I'm offering clients to build their Website using Prismic, as It's helping me to get rid of cluttered platforms like WordPress. Since I can build decoupled solutions with Prismic, I'm free to find the frontend tools and other parts of the Website outside of a framework, which helps me to solve issues faster and without compromising the other parts of the Website, including the data related to the CMS.
