Froala Editor Reviews & Product Details - Page 6

Friendly/recognisable UI was instantly familiar and our admin users were able to pick up using the editor with barely any training. We replaced markdown editor that was a bit of a pain to use to edit content of the sites with Froala editor. Our developers squealed internally with joy/adoration during integration. Froala worked pretty much out of the box and we added fancy Amazon S3 image handling on top.

Being able to flip to HTML editor is an added bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation - needs more clarity what settings are enabled/disabled by default, and if you need to add config what way is actually on or off. Nothing that a brief testing/trying out can't solve.

There was one issue we faced about HTML changes not saved if you don't swap to visual editor. We found on Froala's Github that was a premeditated decision from Froala's team. It was causing issues, but this was solved with a bit of Javascript manipulation, took 30 mins to figure out. However, since they know there are some usercases where this is undesired, this should have become a Froala option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I got nothing unpleasant with this tool as it meets all our needs for rich text editing superbly and with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially looking for an editor to use with allowing our customers to create HTML email templates within our software, I came across the Froala Editor. The Editor is easy to use and easy to integrate solution for those looking to get a fully-featured WYSIWYG editor in their product. We've had great feedback from our customers on the editor and the documentation has allowed us to easily extend the functionality of the editor for our needs.

There is a high price tag to the editor when compared to some of the competition, however, it's definitely a case of you get what you pay for. This editor easily blows the competitors out of the water when it comes to HTML editing capabilities, which was a must-have for our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Froala Editor is that it works. The pricing is right and it really saved our project when I thought we were going to have abandon a WYSIWYG editor for our users. The features are abundant using plugins is easy. I really like the plugin ability, then on top of that you can actually make your own. The documentation is exceptional and then you also have a demo as well as other examples available to you. There is also a good size community that you can ask questions to.

This is not a huge complain it is just based on our use case, but there is a tendency to be very strict when it comes to the HTML that it produces. However, this maybe related to plugins we have as well. There is a lot of information and it takes a while to take it all in. DON'T let this deter you! Froala rocks and will work for you.

The editor is very clean stylistically and looks great on all devices. There are a lot of options that allow you to customize the look-and-feel as well as the behavior and tools available. The documentation is sufficient to get it working pretty quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The editor isn't the most stable WYSIWYG editor I've ever used. All software has bugs, but the problem we had with Froala is that when you find a bug, the Froala developers don't seem to care. They might acknowledge the issue you raise if you are lucky, but even if it's acknowledged, they likely won't take any action. It's great that users can record issues and bugs on the GitHub page, but that only has values if the company is going to listen to the bugs and take action on them. We found that most often, the bugs would be closed without any actual resolution, which was disappointing.

The customer support also could use some improvement. In most of our customer support contacts, we didn't get rapid responses and often the issues we raised were not resolved adequately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Almost all the necessary Rich Text Editor Tools available.

Option to make the floating toolbar as well as fixed Toolbar.

Easy to extend module to build your own required module.

Handle cross site scripting and js injection based security issue automatically.

WYSIWYG Preview option helps the user to review the content while content is being created is a extremely helpful feature.

Out of the box video provider support such as youtube, and very easy extensible feature help us add more video providers. Which removes the need of adding embed code which is generally more tricky for non developer user where as just coping the URL is very simple for users.

Image resizer option is very helpful for on the fly image resizing based on container. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Browser support is not that great such as IE and Firefox has issues.

Dependency on 3rd party libraries such as jQuery and Font-Awesome.

Performance in Browser Extension can be improvement.

Few of the Image manipulation could have added in the FroalEditor itself instead of 3rd party library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Froala's text editor UI looks really nice and is easy to implement. It has most of the features you'd expect to see in a rich text editor and is a powerful tool. I like the scope that the library allows for customisation - it's relatively straightforward to add your own custom buttons to the editor toolbar and associate them with your own functions, and I was easily able to implement the image uploading functionality so that images dragged and dropped into document editors by our users are automatically uploaded to our server.

Version 3 of Froala removed the jQuery dependency, which is a good thing, but this changed the way the editor must be initialised in code. Not only did this mean I had to put in quite a lot of work to update our code base with the new syntax, but I also found that it's more difficult now to reference an existing, initialised instance of a Froala editor. Previously you could easily do this with jQuery, but now it's more tricky and the technique is not well documented.

I would also suggest that the reliance on 3rd party libraries for certain features isn't ideal. Whilst some of them are very good, others are not, and in either case there's always the danger that the 3rd party product could cease to be maintained, rendering that feature unsupported. In particular I found implementing the TUI Image Editor for advanced image editing to be difficult, largely due to the poor documentation provided by the 3rd party developer.

Froala editor is a WYSIWYG editor with a comprehensive list of features. The recent version (v3) has a new fresh and clean design that is liked amongst our team and users. What I also like is that it is quite developer friendly. It it is plugin based, so you are able to avoid loading functionalities that you do not use which benefits performance. Froala is available for the most current Javascript frameworks and it can be customized. We tried out a couple of WYSIWYG editors in the early days of our application, now we sticked with Froala for a few years already because of the large amount of features and regular updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Froala does it best to make the integration of the WYSIWYG editor developer friendly. However the integration and updates into our application did not come without struggles. If you have a quite complex application with heavy use of WYSIWYG editors don't expect it to be plug and play but be prepared to invest some time in testing and applying workarounds. Especially with the recent upgrade: we had to postpone it a few times because of issues. For some we had to find workarounds because Froala can not always keep up with the bug fixing.

Frola Is easy to implement and very reliable "what you see is what you get" editor. Most of the user implementation was done by one of my developers but was as fast as you might want. In terms of end-users, they learn how to use very fast. I would say that is the best or at least one of the best WYSIWYG. The fact that is it loads really really fast because is ligthweight is awesome, you will like that in your page at the end of the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really dislike the trial version, don't know-how currently is working but I had a problem while importing some fonts in one of the staging servers, but the funny thing is that this didn't happen while working in production. So at the end of the day, I would say it is more of what I love than I dislike. I would say that pricing might be an issue if you want to really test this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone who has used a variety of WYSIWYG editors including TinyMCE, CKEditor, Summernote and PunyMCE I have found that Froala "just works". It renders consistently, the support with Django via the django-froala-editor is perfect unlike Django-Summernote which can be painful at times. The fact that it just works with Django Admin along with any Django Form means you can create both custom UIs as well as admin UIs to handle HTML editor in a way that users find simple, fast and natural.

The cost for licensing is very high compared to others especially if you are a self employed developer or a development house looking to use it on multiple projects. Other than that I can not fault it at the moment. I suppose additional plug-ins would be useful but I have no need for them at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
