What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Very user-friendly platform for non-technical people to add, edit, and manage content with minimal training/experience. This was my first time using a CMS and I found it relatively straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

While this may be just because I was a user of the platform (i.e., not the one who implemented it), there was some confusion about pages vs. posts vs. other content, but that was ultimately sorted out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a non-technical person, it allowed us to do things like update our user manuals and other website help-text without having to do a full deployment on our site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

At Electric Enjin, we use ButterCMS to manage digital experiences for clients including blogs, custom page content, and high-end design components. We utilize data collections, the media library, pages, and other features in Butter's multi-site environments. This makes it easy for us as a development agency to manage multiple client sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

There is nothing that I dislike because ButterCMS is constantly asking for feedback and working to improve the product. The customer support is genuinely better than competitors and their dev team is very in touch with what we need. They handle data migrations whenever we request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Butter CMS:

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

As an engineering leader, I'm most concerned about the technical effort required to implement tools. Butter was dead-simple - set it up, grab the API key, and call their endpoints when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

The only tricky thing was a minor issue; we wanted to be able to filter/search all of our posts/content or grab all of the headers so we could display a "home page" for our blog, but they didn't have that ability at the time. It might have been implemented since, but it was performant enough to load all of our content simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

If you're looking for a simple, lightweight, cost-effective CRM for a small-medium size business, Butter is it. We tried a few others and they were either way too heavy/complicated or didn't have basic features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

As a developer, I like the most how easy to understand their API documentation is. Also, the fact it can be implemented in several languages makes it even more helpful. Finally, in case you need it, Customer Support will readily be there to help you, and they have different code examples that can walk you through the implementation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

There is nothing I can think of now. If anything, I have not much experience in the UI for writing blog posts so it might seem foreign to me when trying to figure out how to structure blog posts, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use ButterCMS as a tool for non-tech people to write blog posts. Before, the dev team would have to be in charge of adding the blog posts made by the marketing site to the project, which takes time. Now they can upload it themselves, thanks to their UI, and it will be fetched automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

The time it takes to get content deployed is refreshingly rapid and suits our needs as a rapid innovation team perfectly. Once implemented (the documentation is great)|, the technical team don't need to get involved at all, and the content creators can publish professional-looking material without hindrance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

While using ButterCMS it would have been great to have had MFA for our logins as an additional layer of protection for our content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We build proposition applications and websites fast so we wanted a lightweight CMS where we can publish content quickly and with as little technical maintenance as possible. ButterCMS fits our specification perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
