"Very flexible, great customer support and the best CMS ever"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

The way it's all structured, having the ability to create content models and defining subsequent content based on those models. Nice!!

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

quite a steep learning curve with its coding language, and there are a handful of youtube videos to help

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most of the product team guys are nontechnical, so any small idea they have has to go through the entire dev process, which is lengthy so with Zesty, they can make changes without involving a code change

"Simple but Powerful"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

Easy to use format allowing edits and updates to the website you're working on

You have to get into the CSS to really customize your page. However, it's not always needed which is a good thing.

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are responsive to any queries to prevent a delay in getting things fixed in a short time.

"Zesty is customizable and easy to use"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

Zesty is customizable and intuitive, allowing personnel with little to no coding or back-end development knowledge to work with it with relative ease.

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

As a CMS, Zesty is clear and easy to use. However, it required development to make it that way. So, if that's not a skillset you have in-house, you'll need a vendor to develop to get the most use out of the platform.

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zesty allows people on the team with no development, coding, or digital knowledge to update site content with relative ease. The learning resources provided really helped get our team comfortable with the platform.

"Such an easy system to use and created multiple sites in days not months!"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

Zesty is such a simple tool to use in creating a CMS website. I met with a colleague for an intro, got an account to experiment with, and built two whole site concepts within two weeks! The Parsley code used is straightforward to understand, and there are some excellent documentation and youtube videos to learn if required. I started with a completely blank structure, and then added my own SCSS and JS and being able to organise and code in the browser was super helpful and fast.

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

It would be beneficial if zesty had a way of creating pages and schemas using the layouts tool. The layouts tool is okay to reorganise content, but it would be great if you could add more fields and layout it out in one place instead of adding it to the schema and coming back. I did not use the layouts plugin in the end because it did not really help me. A future addition would be duplicating fields in a layout tool and rearranging them.

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zesty gives an easy-to-use and fairly powerful CMS system that does not cost the earth. It is easy to use from a content editor's point of view, and also any level of developer could use this reasonably easily.

"Perfect for updating content as a marketer!"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

I can easily update my website without having to involve our web developer. Our old feedback loop from engineering to marketing now seems antiquated.

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

Recent features like previewing content live and multiple tabs have fixed what I used to dislike. They seem to always introduce new functionality.

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having an all-in-one solution so I don't have to worry about hosting and delivery at scale. Marketing ideation to delivery timeline drastically reduced.

"Zesty is an excellent CMS platform choice for both business users and technologists"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

Zesty is an excellent alternative to other CMS platforms we've had significant experience implementing on both the low-end side, such as Wordpress and Hubspot, and the higher-end side, like Sitecore and AEM. We've implemented Zesty solutions for a good number of clients ranging from startup to enterprise. Some of the things we like best about Zesty are their top-tier support, easy-to-use interfaces for both business and technical users, and their ability to keep the platform as modern as possible with very little legacy baggage.

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

There's not much to dislike about Zesty, but as with many tech products, your success comes from how well you know the platform - how to take advantage of it and how to avoid the pitfalls. To implement challenging projects, developers will need good knowledge of the platform to implement efficient code, so you shouldn't expect an inexperienced developer to succeed right out of the gate without spending the time to learn the platform.

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Zesty platform solves problems on both the business side with its easy to use interface as well as the tech side, where we can take advantage of the continually growing tools and platform enhancements.

"Great headless CMS with robust features and support"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

I love the team most of all, they are incredibly responsive and seek input on features. They are quick to make fixes and push updates to meet customer needs.

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

Zesty could be a great option for small, budget sites. But their pricing is targeted at enterprise and mid-tier clients. It's hard to choose for a budget-strapped startup that could benefit from it, they'd rather use something that's open source.

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Zesty to make complex content management simple for enterprise customers with complex content marketing strategies

"Zesty vs WordPress?"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

While the cost is a little more - it is so worth it. I never have to do software or database updates. I never have to worry that my site is down. The speed of page delivery beats every single configuration you can hope to do with WordPress. Zesty is worth every penny!

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

Some of the Media organization is a little quirky. That is really the only negative...

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a reliable CMS for our corporate website, and I didn't want to update software constantly.

"An end to end content management system"
What do you like best about Zesty.io?

It is an excellent multi-channel content management system (CMS). It processes and manages content for different platforms and distribute them across many apps, websites, and other devices. This tool is very easy to use and co-operative. It plans workflow that shows how contents are revised, accepted, and forwarded allowing them to confirm that contents are directed to the exact person at the correct time. It considers content management an essential and vital part of any marketing strategy.

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

It does not offer the ability to organize multiple things at once. It wastes time because publication of different pages occurs separately one at a time. You cannot upload a comma-separated value (CSV) file in any way for things like distributing numerous redirects as a batch. It does not allow you to edit the file within an IDE of your choice. You cannot control the version through GitHub or anything else. Many of the engineer’s steps are not integrated.

What problems is Zesty.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is an excellent SaaS cloud content management system that offers everything required to generate, organize, control, and maximize innovative web characteristics. Zesty offers execution teams with many properties and tools for making them more co-operative, well-organized, and creative. It handles all the clients through one portal and enhances web properties faster. With its help, businesses can optimize IT worth, enhance marketing productivity, expand production, and distribution time of digital content.

What do you dislike about Zesty.io?

Edits cannot be made within the IDE and it cannot be integrated with GitHub. It is not able to deploy multiple things at a time. Developers are needed always for updating content. You have to edit the same content at multiple locations. It does not have image editor and E-forms.
