CKEditor Reviews & Product Details

As I said, its easy to use. And the rich text editor is make more complete. The CKEditor5 is have huge different from CKEditor4, the new on is has elegant skin! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think its more about the technical, for beginners (who have to code) its kinda hard to find something when they (and me actualy) want to create some custom plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I actually like the fact I don't need many windows open since I can handle my content editing via the editor directly. Got introduced to it by a friend and it works like a charm for what it's supposed to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't use it very often, so I didn't find yet any drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To use CK Editor as a formatable textarea, there is not much to do. It can easy be configured and support various of formatting options out of the box.

What helped us is, that it is expandable. If there isn't a feature, which CKEditor provides out-of-the-box (or buy their paid services), you can write your own plugins. Once you understood their events and what they provide, it is highly customizable. And if you can't figure out an issue yourself, the customer support has an open ear for you everytime. Since we are a paying customer, i can't tell anything about the customer support, if you use the free version.

The documentation has many examples and showcases, so it sould be easy for you to integrate it into your app.

Since we did our own plugins, we compile as well our own CK Editor on top of the standard one. It took a bit to understand, how we should do it, but an example project helped us with the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since everything went fine up until now (using it since 2019), i do not see any drawback.

The only thing i can remember is, that I asked for a feature and they declined, because this isn't on their roadmap right now. But hey, this is totally understandable. They should concentrate their work on what most of the users request... not just me :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to say except that the pricing structure is not easy to understand and would definetly have the hability to know it in advance and not after using hte product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While CKEditor offers a wide range of features and customization options, the lack of a built-in line-height plugin is a notable limitation. This missing feature can hinder precise text formatting and requires additional customization efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CKEditor along with it's big suite of plugins helps us in creating a feature that is a vital cog of our functionality. Customer Support has been good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has been a good journey all along, couple of areas of improvement as follows:-

CKEditor is easy to integrate and configure for basic use cases, but requires considerable amount of efforts to build custom solutions leveraging their package.

The learning curve is a bit steep for the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The editor itself is robust and delivers all the things that one could want from a rich text editor. CKEditor provides a wide range of options for customizing the editor. The codebase is quite clean, and it's possible (not easy, but still quite possible!) to extend by forking the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CKEditor bundle is quite big, even when trying to trim unneeded features.

Also, while the codebase is quite clean, the build system is highly complex, and the first attempts at modifying the code will probably be rejected by the pre-commit hook.

The development is very active, which is of course a good thing, but it's also a moving target: it takes a lot of effort to merge upstream changes to our customized fork, about yearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stable and works in nearly 100% of the cases. Never faced any challenge.

Customer support has been quick to respond whenever I had a query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's heavy to load. We use multiple modules, but it's heavy to load in the browser.

The React sdk could be improvised so the integration is smoother.

Priced slightly higher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using CKEditor for several ywars, I think from version 3 in our WebJET CMS system. Implementation was easy, we also like selection of various plugins. We also implemented some plugins for ourselves. The API documentation was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Current version is licensed under GPL license, that means you need to buy commercial license, if you want to use it in your project for customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The level of customization from CK editor is just awesome. Whether you need something simple or looking to use every editing feature this should be the tool you choose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love if they had more themes and styles to use, especially for the icons so you can choose one that aligns with your style. The default ones are pretty good though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
