Integrating CKEditor into our product was a breeze. Probably took 0.01% of the time it'd take for us to implement it ourselves. It has tons of features out of the box and is easy to customize. Works with HTML great.

I'm not a fan of the toolbar. It's visible now, but it's always visible when the user scrolls the page down. And it gets annoying. The editor content is now placed inline in the page (without the surrounding <iframe> element) — it's harder to style.

The editor itself seems like a decent product. We have a blog on a custom cms. Instead of using a text area input, we figured we'd use an editor. Froala works fine for this use case including uploading images.

Support never meets the deadline. They don't even have the courtesy to inform customers if there is a delay. They will give vague answers like "it will be released in some time".
