What I like the most thing here is the content management in the cloud. It makes life easier by not starting any app to update content. We can do this in the web itself
Contentful is still evolving, example u cant add your own typography in contentful rich text editor. You can only use the elements they have provided. Its actually a drawback
Managing the content with localization. Less time to update the content.
Data models-as-code, edge-cached, content served relatively fast
UI feels slow, need more powerful API endpoints and SDKs, easy to get it into a broken state
Off-the-shelf CMS rather than building our own out - serving data to our frontend and allowing business users to fill in data in a user-friendly, validated manner
It helps to solve the content management in the code with the support of localization—faster load of the preview. Connection extension app via App framework is an additional advantage
Asset management, Not upgradable rich text editor. Slower build time with gatsby
It helps business people to effectively solve the content updates without the use of the developer to touch the code.
very easy for me to carry out monthly updates!
Can get lost if updating is needed for an unfamiliar page.
Content/visual updates.
That it is so easy to use. It didnt take me long to pick it up and understand how to create new saved responses or edit others.
If I want to find saved responses which include something specific so that I can edit them all this is almost impossible to do which can be time consuming
i am a findiff analyst so i edit and create new saved responses for our cops to use. this has helped update guidance, improve QA scores and help our customers get all the information they need.
Content update is schedulable, Deployments can be made to diff environments
when working on dev environmens, the deployment is not faster
Quick update on the UI for any change s
The API, SDKs and content model options for multichannel content.
The UI sometimes feels cluttered and slow.
Content management for marketing website
UI and APIs, navigations and object/schema
Contentful API rate limiting and scaling to large-scale transactions.
Product and Pricing information from legacy to Contentful. Using as a CMS tool and migrating data from old CDM to new one.
The design is excellent, and the interface is user-friendly.
Nowadays, everything is automated, so have to program every single dynamic detail manually it's not helpfull.
Templates for automated communications.
Easy to find content that I've uploaded?
Working. on multiple projects means that sometimes I see other team's work mixed in with mine.
Managing content on our website. Ease of use is the main benefit
Nimbleness, Agile & the best part is SaaS, API Driven & evergrowing library of Extensions. For ex., we started our journey of Contentful in 2018, since then lot has been improved & Contentful has become more suitable for enterprises with improved scalability of API Calls etc.,
Not much to dislike, but probably they are missing the bells & whistles like Full multilevel User Management, Personalization integrations, etc.,
We have migrated 100 plus brand websites which are informal brand digital presence, where we don't need big box CMS features & don't need to install ourselves & manage the infrastructure.
I like how easy the Admin portal is to navigate and delegate access.
Maybe an easier way to search for users.
It helps the organization be on the same page and work together through this application.
Ease of use for non-technical users. Product managers can easily work without bothering engineers.
Lack of dynamic input validation. We need to write a wrapper around contentful to be able to validate dropdown inputs.
Content management. Lowering time engineers have to spend updating content.
API based content modeling, which is application-agnostic allowing to focus on content rather than how it is rendered
losing the convenience of WYSIWYG of traditional CMS
replacing current headless custom made CMS with contentful which provides out of the box support for modularisation, image CDN, on-the-fly static page generation, etc.
The concept of using this in an implementation is straightforward and solves a number of use cases.
It should have documentation on a number of complex custom implementations too.
This has helped to create a headless implementation of our CMS system. It helps to resolve a lot of dependencies in a tightly coupled system.
Contentful is super easy to get started with and works out of the box. It also has amazing Developer Experience!
Changing a content model is hard. I think that something like example content models would be helpful.
We're building a blog system using Contentful.
The software was very quick to implement and get off the ground running quickly. We were demoing within the first week of use. Loads quickly, and the API is easy to use.
Image uploading can be painful and requires it to be done one by one manually. Ability to export views would be useful.
The cloud-based platform is crucial to having our team members access and publish remotely.
We successfully migrated from word press to Contentful. I like how easy to use it is for our marketing department to make updates to our website. It is seamless and requires no additional deployments for copy/image changes.
As a smaller business, there is no middle tier to using Contentful. You either use the free version, or pay for large scale enterprise use, which is too much. It would be helpful if there was a middle solution to allow for expanded use.
We no longer have to make deployments to dev, staging, then to production for every small change. We were able to make templates which marketing could easily make changes to at any time. Marketing also no longer needs to depend on tech deployments.
Contentful has such a great API and content modeling system. Everything feels seamless and smooth.
The API docs could be improved. Also, the rich text editor could have slightly more options like text alignment.
Not using Wordpress
Flexible price plan that fits with every business size. Provides data on any platform Out there. It is simiple to customize creative Connect then share with colleagues.
It doesn't show how the finished content will be displayed live.
Using this product gives our company several ways to manage web contents and store images and documents for online use.
