What do you like best about Contensis?

When you work with Zengenti, you get a real sense of complete openness and transparency regarding their platform. Zengenti shares full access to its roadmap, which helps give confidence that its system is ever-changing, and ever-evolving to meet the needs and requirements of both website users and content editors. I found the CMS to be exceptionally easy to use, yet fully customizable to meet our every need and requirement. I especially liked the fact that we had full access to the source code and could build our own pages, templates, and applications.

In more recent years, we embraced the headless CMS functionality. Zengenti was able to deliver a highly sophisticated React-based shopping cart facility. The new cart facility enabled us to seamlessly integrate our in-house Access Gamma EPoS system with our frontend website. This gave us the facility and confidence to re-open our sites in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. The customer user journey was key to the success of the new checkout facility, allowing visitors to pre-book both their date and timeslot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contensis?

There is very little to dislike about Contensis. The application itself gets continually updated to adopt the latest techniques, improvements, and best practices. There is one obvious downside, you need to factor in some CPD if you want to get the most out of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Contensis solving and how is that benefiting you?

Contensis allowed us to manage and maintain huge volumes of website data, quickly and with little fuss. The site also allowed us to re-use content throughout the site, which is was especially useful when updating opening times etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Olivia Turner of Contensis

Hey David,

Wow, thank you so much for such a glowing review! 🌟

We're always working on improving our product and hearing user feedback is instrumental to that. I can't wait to share your feedback with the wider team.

Thanks again for taking the time to review Contensis.
