Hygraph Pros and Cons

Hygraph helped us launch the Vantagio platform in only two weeks. During this time we had some questions about modeling our data (this is the first time we use this technology), but the support on Slack helped us to optimize every time that we needed and we focused on building the best platform for our clients. Now, we recommend anyone to use Hygraph instead of other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that docs are very basic, maybe improving the docs with complex cases, and examples with many different types of use can improve the onboarding of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hygraph was a breeze to setup - From the setup via the dashboard of configuring your schema and creating content it was extreme straightforward. It was easy enough to actually co-configure this with our client live. The developer experience is also excellent - we went from setup to an integrated CMS in our web application in less than 2hrs. The integrated API playground was also helpful to pre-test our queries to ensure we got the queries just right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think anything I dislike about Hygraph. Perhaps a user guide specific to creating a markdown renderer using Hygraph's best practices might have helped, but we built our own and easily reuse it on any customer site that we deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using Hygraph to run our whole website - blogs, guides, lead forms, you name it. It's been a real game-changer. As a dev, I'm loving the GraphQL setup. Their API is solid, making it super easy to pull and update content.

The best part? How flexible the content modeling is. We've got some pretty complex setups for different content types, and Hygraph handles it like a champ. The webhooks are another big win. We've automated a ton of stuff - like pinging Slack when we get new leads or triggering email alerts for fresh blog posts. And updating our site with ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration)? Piece of cake with Hygraph.

It's techy enough to keep us developers happy, but our content team actually enjoys using it too. That's pretty rare to find, in my experience. Honestly, it's made managing our site so much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there's nothing to dislike about Hygraph so far. We've been really happy with it, and it’s been an excellent fit for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very responsive to feedback when there's a bug or for feature requests.

They don't implement everything we've asked them to, but they listen and make improvements to their product when the feature makes sense.

Their webhook implementation is good, we use it to notify backend systems about content being updated, but we can opt out of receiving notifications when our automated systems performs the update.

The user interface is intuitive enough that normal people can use it.

The custom app integration is pretty nice. It allows us to do our own content quality checks and give instant feedback to the editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you have a lot of data, the user interface can become slow.

You'll have to manually update a default view of each model to reduce the amount of data you fetch when you're just trying to get the overview.

If you have a lot of languages (10+) then the user interface can become a bit messy, but it's a lot nicer than many solutions out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Hygraph best for its combination of features and integration. It allows for easy content management on different platforms the approaches were designed to work with every website and every project.Technology is fully agnostic and very customizable + the ability to structure content in a way that suits the project’s needs is a huge advantage. Its versatile yet powerful with best of both worlds for developers and content managers alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hygraph can be a bit challenging for users who are new to headless cms platforms or api systems.It can be expensive and require an extensive amount of knowledge, especially if you aree not familiar with graphql or content modeling. This article outlines the common reasons that the platform is powerful, including. The article's benefits include its potential as an office tool, but besides its beneficiency of ease performance and ease of use one issue is the software interface a couple more advanced tutorials or resources could help beginners get started.

It is great when I can keep my content across multiple platforms.There are plenty of features to customization and a strong base in graph ql to use in web applications. It helps streamline collaboration within the team, allowing everyone to keep each other at the same conversation.They have superb integration scalability and security. It works on both small and large projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hygraph makes learning graph ql challenge especially for those new to it.it takes time to get used to setting up content models and queries. Higher tiers of plans are harder for smaller teams to afford.this especially true in a tight budget or smaller scale projects.There are some issues based on tool's overall functionality.

I like best about hygraph is that the design are developer friendly and also easy for use to a developer , when developer works in together the features are very useful and also improve the team efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most i dislike about hygrph is it depend upon third party tools for creation of front end part and for a non technical team need to work with developers for performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favourite part of Hygraph is the flexibility it provides. Its also a good practice as we can have content management integrated with many different platforms easily.Its gives us total control of ours content storage. The great thing is that we can use the Graphql api to return the data we need and only the data we need plus the platform is scalable so as our needs grow we can grow with it and the interface is simple enough for a new team member to get it quickly. as a whole it makes it a far more streamlined and less time consuming method for handling content.

When it comes to create more complex content models or relationships, Hygraph is not giving me a great time for those of you who arnt familiar with graphql, it takes some time to get an idea. also platform play kind of heavy, specifically when you working with the advanced features.The documentation could also use improvement in some aspects for the purpose of troubleshooting the issues when they arise.

What I like best about Hygraph is its flexibility and ease of integration. Its a headless cms that makes it really easy to manage content across different platforms. The Graphql api is powerful giving us the ability to fetch exactly what we need without unnecessary data. its also incredibly scalable, so as our needs grow, Hygraph can grow with us. The user interface is simple and intuitive which makes onboarding for new team members smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not happy about how confusing Hygraph can be when setting up advanced features. Getting the hang of Graphql takes some time. Overall the interface is quite clean, but there are moments when complex content model sets and relationships feel a bit messier. I dont have a way to use that platform. I get to waste too much time figuring things out though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we love the facility to manage hygraph in a lot of project we have, e commerce, corporate website, landing.

hygraph has a really good plan price for company like ours, locale you buy one by one for example !

We put it for big project directly, with no pain

Now it's use by 12 people without problem, easy to implement and intégrate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be difficult for the beginning on non it team to manage this, and understand the workflow. But in a week, it's over ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
