Contentful Reviews & Product Details

We have been using Contentful as our CMS for the past year and a half. It allows us to dynamically update our website's home page, keeping it current, as well as manage our resource pages that include training materials, guides, and general user assets. Additionally, we rely on Contentful to manage our announcement banners, enabling us to deliver real-time user alerts. The experience has been excellent, as we were able to design the frontend to match the seamless look and feel of the rest of our application's UI/UX, while retaining the flexibility to update text, images, and assets through the CMS without needing development releases. Contentful has proven to be cost-effective, straightforward to learn, and has fully met our requirements.

The product is highly flexible, handling our peak traffic periods without any issues. Update statuses are clearly indicated, whether content is published or in draft mode, and the ability to schedule updates for a later time has been especially useful for timed announcements. Overall, it has been relatively easy to learn and has enabled us to become productive quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no support for search integration on the frontend, this requires a third-party integration with potential additional costs. Additionally, this may not be an issue with Contentful, it may be how we set it up, but I wish there was a way to support multiple environments of a site without pushing to all at the same time. When we publish in Contentful, we publish to all environments at once which makes testing tough after we went live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been helpful and I have no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been easy to use and as a result of that, easy to train our content team. While it took a little adjustment in mental models, the benefits were immediately felt by everyone in the team. It's amazing being able to edit everything about a page without going to multiple places, everything opens as a nested window in the primary content model.

The development team have enjoyed working with Contentful and found it relatively easy to implement our 3 sites. Maintenance and iteration have also become far simpler since the move to Contentful, we are releasing at least once a sprint now.

We haven't had much need for customer support but they have been responsive when we have needed implementation questions answered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the size of our organisation we are on a relatively low tier subscription, the number of content models included is a little limiting and definitely the bottleneck. There is currently no way to increase the number of content models without upgrading the entire subscription but we don't need any of the other parts of the upgrade.

I choose to go with Contentful when I'm building a project that has content at the core. Contentful offers a robust, battle-tested solution alongside a rich, optimized out-of-the-box UX, a great Dev experience, and a performant API layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prices tend to be higher than the competitors, which means that if the content is not that relevant to your project in relation to other features, you probably will find it too expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that when you create a module for a page, it is very easy to then use it across various pages. This is great if, like me, you write a lot of blogs/articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything I dislike about Contentful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contentful offers a highly structured and API-first approach to content management, making it easy to create and manage modular content. Its intuitive UI allows content editors to work independently, while developers enjoy the flexibility of integrating with any front-end framework. The role-based access controls and versioning features are especially helpful in collaborative environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be steep for non-technical users initially. The pricing can also become expensive for growing teams or enterprise-level usage. Some basic features like advanced localization or asset organization require premium tiers or workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was very easy for our team to create, manage and publish content mainly because of the user friendliness of the interface, and the management capabilities Contentful offers. The modular content allowed us to tailor our content according to specific project requirements. Contentful's features made sure our digital experiences remains both dynamic and engaging.

Also, the delivery infrastructure on Contentful is very reliable which ensured a smooth and efficient experience for both content creators and end-users. In addition, the support for different content types such as including text, images, and videos enabled us to deliver content that’s high quality and diverse across multiple channels.

A challenge we faced was related to circular references on the data that was returned from the Contentful API. This was a major hurdle as we couldn't find a simple solution for this problem which happened to be a common problem amongst others. Because we had to handle circular references and implementing work arounds, it led us to developing a less than ideal development process. This aspect was time consuming and made it more complex.

While we experienced this setback, we appreciate the efforts made by Contentful to implement continuous improvements and we hope to see enhancements in handling circular references in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
