What do you like best about Hygraph?

Easy to set up and get started with. Versatile content modeling with flexible model relations and on-fly changes without the need or worry about API, GraphQL obviously, and a cherry on top - included CDN with image transformation. Oh wait, there are two cherries on top, Netlify integration being the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

The UI could use some TLC, seems like it was put together in a rush. I don't believe that developers would even notice this, but for content managers, it could take some time to get familiar with it. It's very flat, the whole screen looks like one big area but the actual entry form is just one column, with no tabs to group the content nor multiple columns. That single column is also hard to glance at and quickly find what you're looking for.

Assets feature is also quite limited. It serves the purpose but it's very low-key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GraphCMS solved my problem of having powerful, flexible, headless content management without hosting it myself. It also comes with CDN which is another functionality that I don't need to deal with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Lukaszczyk of Hygraph

Hey there, and thanks for your feedback. I'm glad to see you're making the most of the new features as well!

>The UI could use some TLC

That is a point we're constantly discussing and making sure we continue improving on. We have a few improvements planned for the UI, especially for content editors, and hope to start rolling them out soon.

What do you like best about Hygraph?

The live graphql editing was a useful feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Our experience with graphcms has been uniformly negative. 

When we deployed on the platform our production site would regularly be broken due to how what is now called 'legacy graphcms' worked internally. Specifically any edits to our content would cause some kind of cache invalidation in graphcms and our entire site would go down due to being unable to access content.

Further, the way content editing works on the legacy platform was unusable by our marketing team. Specifically the way drafts worked caused content to disappear from our site b/c once an object was set to draft it would disappear from the published site.  

We are extremely dissatisfied with our experience and are now faced with graphcms forcing us to do more work to migrate off of your legacy platform onto your new platform. We have 0 confidence that this work is useful or warranted based on our experience with the legacy system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We intended to solve the classic content management problem but instead where faced with a terrible experience of a broken site we couldn't edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Lukaszczyk of Hygraph

Hi there, and thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We appreciate all the concerns you've brought forward, and I'd like to address a few of them which I hope may help in clearing some potential misunderstandings between the legacy v. current GraphCMS, as well as some expected behaviours.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to address the specific concern around "content stages" in your feedback, given that the expected behaviour of a CMS would be to stop "sending" content to the frontend once its status was changed from `PUBLISHED` to `DRAFT`, as that would mean the content isn't "ready" to be publicly visible.

And as for the migration, I would encourage you to reach out to us if you're facing obstacles in trying out the new GraphCMS! We've made some relatively large changes when we released the new version back in April 2020, with a host of new features that our legacy product could not support.

We've rolled out the new GraphCMS in April this year, and the migration is a simple step solved by a few clicks, you can refer to the process on our migration guide here: https://graphcms.com/blog/migrating-to-the-new-graphcms

Given that this is an anonymous review and we can't directly connect it with a project or team, we'd love to learn more about your concerns and address them ASAP to avoid any miscommunications on the expected behaviour.

Please reach out to us via the onsite chat or via support@graphcms.com, and the team and I will gladly help sort this out for you!

What do you like best about Hygraph?

Especially for read-only sites, it's incredibly easy to get started with. I love how easy it is to use alongside NextJS to build sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

It's young software, so it still needs some polish. Nothing crazy terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Headless-content management, and it solves that problem greatly. GraphCMS is the ideal way to fetch content and they make it very easy to build your schema, add your content, and fetch it in your site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hygraph?

GraphCMS does a great job of balancing powerful content modeling capabilities with a simple-to-use user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

I haven’t found much to dislike about it, to be honest. I have noticed a couple of small glitches in the UI, but they were fixed with a page refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hygraph:

My organization’s site does not access GraphCMS’s APIs from the browser. We statically build our site. Therefore, I’m not able to attest to the speed and reliability of their APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I run a tiny nonprofit (all-volunteers). We started with a hand-coded website and have been integrating GraphCMS recently to make it easier to keep our content (e.g., our list of volunteers) up-to-date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Lukaszczyk of Hygraph

Hey Andrew, thanks for that great feedback!

We're glad those glitches got sorted out on a refresh, but that's an interesting comment - we'll look into why that's happening and have it sorted out as soon as we can.

Hi! Thanks for sharing your feedback with us and we're thrilled that you're making the most of the API!
