Hygraph Reviews & Product Details

I find Hygraph pretty simple and straightforward without a steep learning curve like other CMS platforms. I signed up and within 10 minutes, after adding the APIs and connecting to my app, it was ready to go. The app doesn't overwhelm with unnecessary features. I appreciate that I don't need to create an entire CMS infrastructure myself, which saves a lot on development costs and maintenance efforts. It's also easy to update records; I can log in and update or add new ones in just a few minutes, with changes reflecting almost instantly. The initial setup was easy because the documentation is really clear. I love the generous free tier, which is more than enough for me, especially compared to other options like Pimcore, which was complex and expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The preview options could be much better and also if they could make the site responsive for mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple it is to install Hygraph. I just prompted cursor to set it up for me, and it was ready in under 5 minutes. I like how fast and easy it is; I write on Hygraph, publish it, and immediately it's on Brandled's blog. You only need to set up the schema once, and after that, it functions like a simple form. I go to content, write the content, and then publish it, nothing more than that. The documentation of Hygraph is pretty detailed, which made the setup process quick for me.

I don't see any particular thing I want to improve but there is a minor bug that I saw. Basically, in the content form, I can write in full screen, but when I preview that in fullscreen the scrolling doesn’t come. So I have to minimize that from fullscreen to preview the content that was written in markdown.

Also the app isn't really mobile responsive so I can't edit the content on the go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Hygraph because it allows us to create and structure blogs visually with all the necessary elements like headings and subheadings, making them look good. I also like the capability to upload various image types such as webp, PNG, JPEG, GIF, webp, and mp4 files, which keeps the photos crisp and doesn't take up too much space, solving an issue we've had with large image sizes. It's great that I can see every single image, go back to the beginning, and access everything I've uploaded, which is key for managing content on our website. Another thing I appreciate is the ease of navigation in Hygraph, even though I encounter some clicking when finding specific images. It's also pretty cost-effective and allows multiple users to have access, not just one person, which is something I really appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really, really would wish there was a key function for sorting by last modified or last uploaded in the content section. Right now, it's just a left arrow and a right arrow, and you have to keep on clicking through, which I don't like at all. Another thing is when editing a blog. It shows it as being published on the same date that you edited it, even if the original post date was earlier. I wish there was an option to display both the creation and last edited dates, and it would be useful if you could turn this feature on and off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to get started and the interface is fairly intuitive (less layered and complex compared to other CMS platforms). We were able to connect our content without much hassle, I think even can be done with no developer. needed. Asking for help via their chat/customer service is also quick. We received feedback and help within the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Hygraph Studio interface can sometimes be a bit buggy (doesn't show full error messages of what to fix and why it needs to be fixed). The documentation isn't as detailed for complex or advanced integration. For complex projects, it can be a bit hard to find the field you want to edit and to know what edits it will cause.

Hygraph’s API-first approach and performance are what stand out the most. The GraphQL API is fast, well-documented, and predictable, which makes integration with our frontend stack straightforward. Our developers can query exactly the data they need, which keeps the codebase cleaner and improves performance on the client side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside of Hygraph for us is the cost structure. As our usage and number of projects grow, the pricing can increase quickly, which makes it harder to justify compared to other headless CMS options in the market. We feel that some features that are essential for growing teams could be more accessible in lower tiers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way Hygraph makes things easier for developers. The ability to write GraphQL queries directly is a big plus, and it sometimes even allows me to avoid having an API. I appreciate the way you can manage data securely, especially with how you can set up specific permissions for tokens. The draft and publish features are great for previewing content deployments and display. I love that the platform is very user-friendly and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess the documentation could be improved. Maybe? I had a lot of issues writing GraphQL queries on the JavaScript site. Sometimes I struggle with the models and the relations I have to do to catch data from different tables together. Maybe the documentation could be something more step by step, ready to go. I was a bit lost in the beginning, and the docs were not helped me that much even because English is not my first language. It could be improved, especially for the onboarding of new users.

I like that Hygraph is pretty fluid for our use, and I don't really see any obvious problems with it. All the asset uploading functionalities are really good for our business. It makes it a very simple process to upload and transfer the data to our beautiful-looking website that we get to see every day. The decision to use Hygraph was the greatest decision we've ever made. I'm absolutely likely to recommend Hygraph to a friend or colleague, giving it a ten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes things are broken on our front end, and Hygraph isn't able to easily tell us why. It's a bit of a guessing game of why something isn't working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Hygraph incredibly useful for managing our content and building structured content pages. Its intuitive nature as a headless CMS is something I genuinely appreciate, making it easy to use and integrate within our workflow. The GraphQL integration stands out as a key feature, allowing me to query only the fields needed without any excess or bloated data types, simplifying data management significantly. The initial setup of Hygraph was remarkably swift, getting us up and running in about an hour, and its extensible nature means we can easily build on it as our needs evolve.

Nothing really. Hypraph is such an easy tool to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how simple and intuitive Hygraph is to use. The simplicity and intuitive UI let me set up and manage a blog very quickly without a learning curve. I didn't have to worry about building or maintaining a custom CMS, which saved a lot of time and effort. Their support is pretty responsive too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it was easier to use on mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use of Hygraph and having a repository of content. Working with content blocks is simpler because I don't have to think in pages or templates. I can publish, unpublish, or update content without waiting on engineering, which is really convenient. Being able to reuse messaging across different channels or campaigns without worrying about inconsistencies is another great aspect of Hygraph. The initial setup was quite easy, which I appreciated.

Setting up models, schemas, and integrations is not something marketers can do by themselves. Hygraph could offer guided model templates for common use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
