(Original )Information
What do you like best about Contently?

The Contently platform provides our organization with an easy-to-navigate, intuitive platform that ensures the seamless delivery of our content from ideation thru to publication in an incredibly cost-efficient, time-saving way. The platform is not only a workflow tool, ensuring all lines of business are meeting their deadlines, but also provides us with access to hundreds of hand-picked, exceptional writers who truly make our jobs so much easier! The Contently Account team is second to none. We've worked together for over five years now, a testament to their caring & supportive account teams. They are an engaged group of incredibly knowledgeable Content Marketers, who have become an extension of our team. TRUE Partners in every sense of the word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contently?

While Contently has been able to help many companies connect their content development to their sales platform, we have not (we're a bank, so it is no easy task!). It would be a tremendous asset to easily determine true ROI on the stories & videos we produce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Contently:

Every once in a while you happen upon a tool or technology that truly makes your work-life easier. Contently is that partner. Innovative. Acomodating. Strong support & partnership. Efficient. Easy to use. I can't say enough :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to engage our clients on topics that are meaningful & relevant to them, without pushing our own agenda. We've always been exceptional at promotional marketing, but it's like asking a client to marry us on the first date. We need to nurture prospects, engage them and help navigate them through the marketing funnel, warming them up to our Brand through story-telling. The Contently platform helps us do just that. With ease & efficiency. The platform also allows us to ensure compliance, that all steps of the content delivery process are met before delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Contently?

The automated workflows and editorial calendar make it easy to see exactly where your content is in its creation process, what steps are next and any potential blockers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contently?

There is some limited functionality in terms of customizing the experience for your specific needs. For instance, there's no way to default that all links should open in a new tab (you have to manually select for each link you add) and there doesn't seem to be a way to set an order for your custom tags or list of integrations when pushing to a CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We publish 60-80 unique pieces of blog content monthly across several different brands. Contently saves me hours of manual work each work by automating workflows and sending reminders to my writers to keep them on task. It also helps cut back on time by sending HMTL ready copy into our CMS that just needs minor review and formatting before publishing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
