What do you like best about TinyMCE?

Easy to implement and very reliable for our users. It's simple, and the learning curve is speedy. Also, enjoy a lot the several plugins and tools they have. With a few clicks and a few pasted codes, We put in our production environment this simple solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyMCE?

Almost nothing is very intuitive to implement. Until now, I haven't found any issue with stopping working with it. My suggestion will be more integration with tools like React framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a lot (about three or four by form page) of text fields in our online form that requires a text editor that not to take a lot of time to download at client web browsers. Also, it did not take much time to implement and integrate this tool into our code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TinyMCE?

Not much; it did a basic job. There are now free alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyMCE?

Their pricing is incredibly misleading. We were on a lower-tier plan and were paying a small amount. When we breached the excess limits, they kept charging the excess fees rather than moving us on to a higher tier. This added over $843 in one month when we were on, I think, the $67. If we had moved to the higher tier, it would have cost us $255.

The only thing that is worse than their pricing is their customer service. They were very prompt in telling us that if we were willing to change plans and pay an extra $450, they would move us to the higher plan.

Remember, this is software, not a face-to-face service or a physical product.

All this, for a commodity product where there are free alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is not benefiting us anymore. We moved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brad Lawless of TinyMCE

Hi Philip,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with TinyMCE. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with our pricing model and support team did not meet your expectations. Feedback like yours is invaluable in helping us improve.

We understand how frustrating unexpected charges can be, especially for small businesses. Our pricing model is designed to offer flexibility, ensuring that customers only pay for the resources they use. To prevent surprises, we proactively send notifications as users approach their limits and offer plan options that better align with usage patterns. While we follow this process with every customer, we recognize that it may not have felt clear or sufficient in your case.

I understand that the accommodation for your situation offered by our customer service team, which aimed to balance reducing the immediate impact of overage fees with transitioning to a more suitable plan, was not the solution you were hoping for. We regret the disappointment this may have caused.

Our team is always here to assist with questions or concerns about usage, billing, or finding the best plan. We sincerely hope to earn back your trust in the future and welcome any further discussion to address your concerns.

What do you like best about TinyMCE?

The product is correct but is a commodity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyMCE?

tl;dr: We had two pricing issues with TinyMCE. They think they could charge you anything because you already integrated their product. Don't make the mistake of integrating their product in the first place. Use a competitor with a transparent pricing.

We integrated their WISIWYG product into our product in 2020 after a benchmark performed by engineers.

The price were correct (360$ per year) for our really small needs.

Then we wanted to expand the use of their product but we had to go an Enterprise plan and the pricing was completely crazy. They were thinking we could pay anything because we already integrated but we finally made the effort to switch to another solution for our second need.

We kept Tiny for our really small need.

Then we experienced a second price issue. Our credit card was renewed early and we miss notifications of failure to charge (they did send the kind of automatic emails that goes to spam to notify us) and they cancelled our plan. We were aware of cancellation by having an error message on our product.

In order to continue using the same level of service as before, we had to re-subscribe and pay a 433% increase.

Even though the issue has been escalated, they didn't try to find an alternative solution.

I would not recommend Tiny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They offer a decent WISIWYG, like many competitors. It's a commodity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Holly Waits of TinyMCE

As a new member of the leadership team at TinyMCE, I want to apologize for not responding to your post earlier. I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with our pricing, and I wish we'd had the opportunity to resolve it sooner. Best of luck with your product, and I hope you've found a solution that works for you and your team.

What do you like best about TinyMCE?

From not knowing about TinyMCE's existence to deploying it into production took 2 days. This included customizations that allowed template documents with smart fields to be generated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyMCE?

Some detailed level of documentation could perhaps be improved, for instance what type of font families come standard with the editor and which ones need to be added through plugins. Also, include more comprehensive React documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allow's users to generate text on the frontend which then passes an accurate HTML representation of that text to the server for the generation of template documents. Customizations such as the dragging and dropping of smart fields into the editor is easily achieved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TinyMCE?

The app is simple and easy to use. Even for first time users, it's not challenging at all. Which is what I love the most about it. Plus it works great on both mobile and desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyMCE?

For the website projects I've used this software, it has served the purpose. I've even received quick support from the customer care. Which in the case of such softwares, usually tends to be slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's a rich editor that makes it easy even for the less tech enabled people at work to create rich content. Works great for blogs, wikis, bios, etc. which is an integral part of every digital project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TinyMCE?

ease of enhancing and augmenting the menu system, the system of callbacks is very intuitive, the ability to attach own CSS files is absolutely superb Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyMCE?

it is entirely possible that after a certain number of edits the entanglement of P's and SPAN's can become a real mess. It would be great if Tiny had the ability to auto-cleanse. Handling of tables could also benefit from some improvements - the dialogues are somewhat rudimentary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We utilize Tiny for our report writer. Users can create reports in a WYSIWYG setting, which is priceless. Our product allows to inject data references from various sources, and create complex rules around such inclusions. Overall, an excellent product and 100% fit for our needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
